Military AI Works

The major work of the FSX/P3D conversion of Iwakuni is done, with a bit of polishing here and there still going on. But it is not far away from release now. Brent and John have created a marvelous base and the attached water airport and seaport makes it really special.

Here are some shots of the base in P3D:

Glad to see it taking shape in another format Martin. You're work on it is looking really good.

Thanks for that, I can't wait to enjoy this fully in FSX.

I know it's been several months since I first teased a Japan Coast Guard project, but I think it's finally getting to the point where I can move this from the "maybe someday" to "coming soon" pile.

What we have now:
14 S-76s on the Elvis AI model



9 Dash 8-300s on the TFS model



4 Saab 340s on the TFS model



and of course, 9 King Air 350s on John Youngs about to be released model



The included flightplans will also have 2 Gulfstream V and 2 Falcon 900s which have paints available on Avsim. I didn't redo those because the registration numbers and aircraft nicknames haven't changed so there's no point duplicating someone elses fine work.

This will put Japan Coast Guard aircraft at the following airports:

Chitose (RJCJ)
Fukuoka (RJFF)
Hakadote (RJCH)
Ishigaki Jima (ROIG)
Kagoshima (RJFK)
Kansai (RJBB)
Kushiro (RJCK)
Miho (RJOH)
Naha (ROAH)
Niigata (RJSN)
Sendai (RJSS)
Tokyo Haneda (RJTT)

Hi Brent, have you made customized versions for all the airports (except Chitose)?

Lovely stuff.

Is there going to be any Puma helicopters? Japan Coast Guard still uses them right?

Chitose and Miho have scenery that have been done, but I see I neglected to put them in the Download Hangar after the transition... So I'll fix that. The other airports, being predominantly civilian airfields, haven't been done yet. In the cases of Kansai, Fukuoka and Kagoshima they are in the same boat as Naha where I don't want to try to do them because of their distinctive and elaborate passenger terminals that I can' replicate. The smaller ones like Hakadote and Kushiro may see their own scenery in the future, but not right now.

There may have to be a Part 2 some day. JCG has 3 AS332L-1 and 5 EC225LP in service. I believe that Miljan is still working on the appropriate models.

Also not appearing in this group are 3 Bell 206, 6 Bell 412 and 18 AW139 of which I know of no model for

I missed Miho because it is only attached to a forum post. It is now on my FSX conversion list. I have meanwhile completed:

"RJAH Hyakuri Air Base"
"RJAK Kasumigaura Air Field"
"RJAT Camp Takigahara"
"RJFA Ashiya Air Field"
"RJFY Kanoya Air Field"
"RJFZ Tsuiki Air Field"
"RJNG Gifu Air Field"
"RJNH Hamamatsu Air Base"
"RJNK Komatsu Base"
"RJOF Hofu Air Field"
"RJOH Miho Air Base"
"RJOI Iwakuni"
"RJOP Komatsushima Air Base"
"RJOS Tokushima Airport"
"RJSM Misawa Air Base" (from Giacomo)
"RJSO Ominato Air Field"
"RJST Matsushima"
"RODN Kadena Air Force Base" (from Tony)
"RJSU Kasuminome Air Field"

Airport backgrounds still to be done :

"RJCJ Chitose" (waiting new version)
"RJTJ Iruma"
"RJTK Kisarazu"

We are getting there

The version of Miho that I am going to update today has some pretty extensive changes due to a runway extension and an enlarged commercial ramp. I suggest using the new version for the FSX conversion since a lot has changed at that airport in the last couple of years.

The version of Chitose I am uploading today has a few parking assignment changes to part the larger Dash 8-300s in front of the Coast Guard hangar. Nothing big.

Thanks for letting me know. I wait for the new versions then...

Some shots of the converted bases some posts below...

Oh ok. With all the Puma models made by Miljan I thought the JCG model was one of them.

Looks fantastic !

If time allows, is it possible to add anti-glare nose paint on King Air 350 fleet like the photo below ?

Thanks in advance.

Added the anti-glare panels a few days ago. Well spotted though.

The coastlines etc around my installation are nothing like the pictures of the various airfields.
Do you have a specific mesh/landclass loaded ?
