Tim,
If this helps any Scramble shows that there is one C-98/99 unit at SBAN.
If you then search for that unit in the database they have 5x E-99M and 3x R-99s.
So if you are just doing a package for SBAN then that should simplify it.
Now the C-98s seemingly are used as light transports and base hacks. As 2°/6°GAv also has C-98 on its allocation.
Now I am not completely au fait with the Brazilian naming system but I think that the unit name means the 2nd sqn of 6 Wing.
In the database there are none allocated specifically to 2°/6°GAv.
I think that any C-98 is a temporary allocation for hack purposes and 2°/6°GAv are the ones that operate it.
Of course I could be reading it wrong but there are none allocated specifically to 2°/6°GAv.
Steve, that's pretty much how I read it but it's not exactly clear, is it.
I know that as soon as we go live we'll get info from someone in-theatre to say we've got it all wrong!
To be clear, John's and my focus is the KC-390. When we looked at what was available to support it and where it was to be based, we discovered that Brazil hadn't been covered very much in the past and that it was a very interesting subject. I wasn't going to take on Rio International - the other main base for the KC-390 - as we already had an MAIW-modified AFCAD for it and it's far too big a project. It's probably also covered by payware somewhere. However, there was nothing in FSX/P3D for SBAN so I decided to take it on. There is a rather nice FS9 scenery for it, and I did attempt to contact the author, but he's gone dark.
Of course, SBAN also hosts several other types so we widened the scope, John was keen to take on the C/E/R-99s, and (as the thread shows) we thought it would be nice to be able to properly represent all the types likely to be seen at the base. That inevitably widened the scope to traffic and other bases. We have one or two in the Matrix portfolio, but they're just lightly modified stock AFCADs so I've modified a few more stock airfields and we'll include them in the package. If I get time, I'll throw in a few details like the Zeppelin shed at Santa Cruz, but the main aim is to get traffic to feed to SBAN from credible sources which the user can go and have a look at if they feel like it. If that encourages others to make an airfield or two, that would be great!
So call it SBAN plus!
ahaha it would be that simple wouldn't it lol, thank you.
