JYAI Piaggio P-180 Avanti

[clickclickdoh]

I've noticed that the Avanti has a 'stinger'.

Check which model you are using, some of the do:

[John Young]

The generic model doesn't have a stinger Joe. That's the model that was intended for re-painting.

[Joecoastie]

Well, that's it then. I used the model with the open doors. I haven't looked at the Italian's, yet.

Thanks, cheers !

First, thank you so very much for this new AI plane. It's a cool little plane.

Second while compiling the flightplans with AIFP (I renamed the flightplan) I got the following errors. I don't know a lot about flightplans so I am not sure if these are true errors or maybe a touch and go or something like that.

Flight Plan 2:
Leg 03: Departure time missing or invalid

Flight Plan 3:
Leg 01: Departure time missing or invalid

Flight Plan 4:
Leg 04: Departure time missing or invalid

Flight Plan 6:
Leg 05: Departure time missing or invalid

Flight Plan 30:
Leg 03: Departure time missing or invalid

Flight Plan 31:
Leg 03: Departure time missing or invalid

Joseph, I'm not so expert in using AIFP, but when I check the Avanti FP with it, I didn't get any error.
Should be useful to know to which aircraft number are referred the errors that you get.
I mean, Flight Plan 2, to which AC# is referred to?

Hi Maurizio,
You are correct it should have been DRAGO. I also found other Italian military callsigns in this list.

311 RSV also use PROVA, Gdf also use VOLPE, Guardia Costiera also use KOALA, Polizia use POLY.
Regards,

Flightplan 2 is AC#18
Flightplan 3 is AC#19
Flightplan 4 is AC#20
Flightplan 6 is #AC21
Flightplan 30 is AC#16
Flightplan 31 is AC#17

Looking at the Flightplans.txt, nothing is wrong to me.
May be a "false positive"

John,

I've noticed that the Avanti has a 'stinger'.

The stinger is a HF/FM antenna. It is mounted on all Italian military aircraft and at least, on some civilian flying in Northern Europe and Africa.

Joseph,
I have double-checked the un-modified traffic bgl and can confirm that there are no errors.

I think that you have done something else other than rename the flightplans. My guess is that you used a replace option in a text editor and that has altered something that you did not intend to.

[Stewart Pearson]

Regarding the callsign info from Steve, here are the four he listed - FS9 and FSX formats included.

[John Young]

Thank you Stewart.

[swp53]

Thanks Stewart

I know this is a old thread but I have question. I have about 13 or 14 civilian Avanti paints installed and the all use the Generic_1 model (except for one that uses the Evo model). All of the model that use the Generic_1 model I see the antenna that comes out the back of the plane, but in the screenshots of the paints you don't see the antenna.

Like these. The screenshots don't show the rear antenna but in my sim the antenna is there on these paints.

Why is this happening? Is this a model problem?

(I use the FSX model in P3D v5.1)

[John Young]

Those are FS9 screen shots. The FS9 Generic_1 model does not have the tail antenna for some reason.

The FSX Generic_1 model does have the antenna, but it is only in the first LOD. If the screen shot is taken outside of that LOD range, the antenna will have disappeared.

John

[Joseph29]

Thanks for the explanation. Now I wish I could use the FS9 model because a civilian Avanti shouldn't have the antenna. Although unless your pretty close to the model it is hard to see.

[John Young]

If you could PM me your e-mail address, I'll compile FSX Generic_1 without the aerial and send it to you.

John

Wow thank you so very much! I sent you a PM.

[John Young]

Model sent.

John

[Joseph29]

Model sent.

John

Thank you very much John! The modified model is working good in P3D.
