Columbus T38

[petebramley]

Have finally got around to installing these into my Sim

quick question:

are they a replacement for the T-37 Tweet or are they additional

if they are supposed to fly in conjunction with the T-37's has
anybody done flightplans for them ??

If those are the ones I think you downloaded, then they should work with the MAIW T-1 pack which includes an AFD for Columbus AFB. All the T-37's were replaced by the T-6A Texan II.

It's an addition to add the T-38s that fly there. I don't think anyone has done flightplans for them. I had made some flightplans for my own use, but wasn't sure about releasing them with the repaints as they were modified from the MAIW US Navy Hawk package for NAS Meridian. I'm having to redo my flightplans anyway since my last reinstall of FS9 (erased all my flightplans by accident), just haven't got around to doing my T-38 plans yet.

I was planning on doing Randolph and Vance before I did the FS9 re-install, still may do it later on, and if anybody else wants to try it, go for it.

I initially started swapping T-37s with T-6 repaints to just get the AI traffic looking up to date, but nothing worthy of talking about in great detail. If I were to work a complete set of flightplans I would rather build from scratch as opposed to hacking up something from WOAI or MAIW and just changing the aircraft. I consider working on Vance AFB as well, but get too wrapped up in how I could never make a perfect AI world for Vance. I would need to crack the code on overhead patterns, aircraft pulling closed patterns and not just flying VFR box patterns 2 miles away from the field and a few other aspects of UPT.

[phantomfreak]

And those are the same type patterns that the non-training pilots fly in the operational world, so if that could be figured out to fly those patterns in AI, then all the military flightplans would have to be updated.

Just to get them in the air, I think is good enough for most of us, given the limitations of flightsim.

if you can unlock the secrets to an AI overhead pattern then you will have found the holy grail of mil AI flight plans.

It's called FS Recorder.

Anyone got callsigns for the 49th and 50th FTS? Got these in the pattern at CBM with help from a few of the MAIW NAS Meridian MOA waypoints (1NMM,2NMM, 1-3CBM).

As I get more involved in FS Recorder so I can do exactly that, overhead breaks and tight non-standard traffic patterns. Wish there was some way to code the AI to automatically pick up the FSR recording when they get 5nm of their destination.

[phantomfreak]

The callsigns are Banzi, Black, Bones, Conda, Cowboy, Cutty, Eagle, Gundog, Guts, Harley, Jackal, Ninja, Phantom, Pistol, Poison, Sluggo, Snake, Speed, Zama for the 50th FTS; and Jimbo, Lexus, Torch for the 49th FTS. Rogue is also used but not sure which unit.

Got these from a list of military callsigns but I can't remember where I downloaded it from. So there should be a voicepack out there for some of them.

Thanks, searched and found a .pdf with a 2009 list. I'm guessing maybe each UPT class gets to use a separate callsign. Normally I just try to guess off the mascot, ie 50th FTS "Black Knights".

[phantomfreak]

That maybe the same list I have.
