Very nice, and FPs already in the hangar.

Splendid as usual Ray

In the flightplans AIFP is saying that aircraft 5408 and 5409 the altitude is missing (leg 1 in both plans). Is this right? Or just a false/positive thing?

[f4nutter]

ooops my bad I set the alt at 000ft ?
here is a more alt friendly 10,000ft for TnG's lol

[petebramley]

Thanks for these Ray, does anybody know what C/S they are likely to use ?

I have added parking code LT62 in the Aircraft.cfg on my system and amended parking slightly at ETNW Wunstorf to fit in these A/C. Might need more parking eventually to cover all 40 expected to go into service (of 53 ordered). Have also removed the C-160's that are no longer based at ETNW.

Will you be painting the RAF birds ??

I was checking for the callsigns also. The best that I have been able to come up with is GAF xxx where the xxx is any 3 digits. There maybe be a tactical callsign or two somewhere but my cursory search did not reveal any.

[f4nutter]

i might paint them





i'm just doing the flight plans now.

Hello

I want to ask if updates are planned for the A400M textures.

The germans have received their 34th aircraft a while ago. Also the RAF got many.


Would be nice to have more of these flying around.

Thanks

[TheFoufure]

France have more too.

Belgium/Luxemburg fleet will arrive soon. The first is at the paint shop.

[asdro]

Would appriciate if the AI fleet for A400M would be updated, also with realistic FP.

The A400M was the first military AI model which i had installed in 2015.

The paints are one thing, but you are never going to get realistic plans purely because the military do not run to a timetable. The best that you can hope for is more representative plans.

Sometimes you have to be careful in the way you ask for things.
For example whoever created the initial plans may be of a mind to take only negative things from what somebody writes about their work and therefore drop any plans that they might have had to update them.
In a similar vein comments can put somebody else off doing exactly what you want.

The bottom line is be careful in the way that you ask for things or you may put people off doing exactly what you would like to be made available.

I know that we have a high percentage of people here who do not have English as their first language, and a remarkable job that each and every one does in communicating, but it equally applies to native English speakers as well.

The problem is that when you can't hear or see what and how a person is saying something each individual CAN read it a different way. They do not have any visual or aural clues to help them. This is one of the primary reasons that internet forums erupt into flame wars so easily.

This is a gentle reminder for all and not specifically targetting asdro.

Something wrong happend to my post.

The first belgian is still in the production line.

The Luxembourg A400M has the reg CT-01

The first belgian A400M will get CT-02.
Belgium has ordered 7x A400M.

UK got 20 of 22 A400M already.

Germany should have 32 of 53.

[TheFoufure]

The first belgian is still in the production line.

The first Belgian is finished. Somes pics of this aircraft in his final livery are visible on Twitter or Facebook.

First flight will com very soon.
