I have Version 4.0, release date aug. 2007 and there is no 1-4 cross over in it.


Here is a brief summary of the 6 parts of the Military AI Works 1st Anniversary Airshow:





1. AI Thunderbirds Arrival Demo at MAIW (Works) Field - FS9 Start Time Setting: 11:23:00 GMT Duration: 37 Minutes



The AI Thunderbirds are inbound from the north in 4/2 ship flights and perform a brief arrival demo.



NOTE: Due to some settings that were used in its original AI FDE, the HTAI F-16 is inherently unstable as it slows down rapidly during its first few minutes of flight after it spawns within the AI viewable area around the FS9 user's location. Therefore it is best to wait for a couple of minutes until it stabilizes before using spot view to observe these 2 or 4 ship AI Thunderbird formation flights.



2. AI Airshow Participants Depart MAIW (Works) Field - FS9 Start Time Setting: 12:40:00 GMT Duration: 1 Hour



The 40 flyby performing AI aircraft depart MAIW (Works) Field in 2 ship flights to the north, east, south, west, southwest and northwest. AI Thunderbirds 1-6 depart last.



3. AI Airshow Flybys, Thunderbird Demo and Special Arrival - FS9 Start Time Setting: 14:20:00 GMT Duration: 18 Minutes



The AI flybys are inbound and then arrive in 2 ship formation flights initially from the north and then from the south, east, west, southwest, northwest, northeast and southeast. A 2 ship flight of special MAIW 1st Anniversary Edition NBAI F-15C's arrive, land and taxi in to park on Thunderbird Row.



4. AI Airshow Participants Return to MAIW (Works) Field - FS9 Start Time Setting: 15:15:00 GMT Duration: 2 Hours 17 Minutes



The AI flyby participant aircraft return to land in formation flights of 2 at MAIW (Works) Field first from the north and then from the west, east, northeast, southeast and south. Some of these flights fly formation TNG's or Missed IFR approaches before landing. The AI Thunderbirds are the last to return and perform another brief arrival demo.



5. AI Thunderbirds Departure from MAIW (Works) Field - FS9 Start Time Setting: 17:55:00 GMT Duration: 15 Minutes



The AI C-17 carrying the Thunderbirds ground support troops departs MAIW (Works) Field followed immediately by Thunderbirds 1-8 in 2 ship formation flights to fly to their next airshow.





6. MAIW 1st Anniversary Fireworks Display - FS9 Start Time Setting: 23:00:00 GMT Duration: 3 Hours

Guys,

You are talking about 2 different packages, my FS2004 AI Thunderbirds Formation Flight Demo (aitbdemo.zip) dated 02-15-2006 that takes place at the Otis ANG base on Cape Cod, MA, USA and my Military AI Works 1st Anniversary Airshow package (maiw_1st_airshow.zip) dated 8-2007, that takes place at MAIW (Works) Field, Andros Island, Bahamas. In the former there is indeed a 4 ship Thunderbird crossover which the latter does not include. However the latter does include a four 2 ship formation flight crossover near show center. The 4 formation flights of 2 consist of 2 F-117's, 2 T-38A's, 2 F-22's and 2 F-15's (C&D). The timing is not perfect due to the dissimilar nature of the AI FDE's, but it was the best I could do without modifying all the AI FDE's.

Mike
