Military AI Works

Since most of us around here spend WAY too much time looking out the window and plane spotting...I want to see what you favorite flying activities are...

So I will lead off and definitively state that I love canyon busting the Grand Canyon in a -16...

So here are some screenies... Terrain Mesh by FSGenesis, and the ever popular Viper Package...

I highly recommend the same thing, however try it in the Swiss Alps, with a good terrain mesh of course, and set the vis to either 3 or 5 miles. Lots of fun...........

I used to always enjoy the short haul flight from Kaohsiung Intl in Taiwan to Taipei. South to North, even better low level in a tornado, over the mountains.

Most of the time I'm just using it to watch Ai. However when I do fly I like to just do short hops in something from the RAF (Tucano,Tornado etc) which somwhat mirror similar movements I've seen in reality.

I fly a lot of instrument approachs in bad weather into some hard places (mountains etc). It keeps my approach skills up and I love the challenge to hit it perfect. Nothing more rewarding then breaking out 1/2 to 1/4 mile from touchdown with low ceiling, gusty winds, rain, snow etc.. Add a little traffic in there and you can get a real challenge.....

Although this thread is some days old I would like to share what I usually do after launching FS9.

1. Civil
maximum flight distance around 1.500 miles (most flown route EDDV - LEPA; sometimes a stop at LOWW) flying a B738 real weather enabled or bad weather conditions

2. Military
short flights, mainly to follow AI (TNGs) or flying low level using the Tornado (guess why )

3. Helos
flying around an airport (mainly after scenery/AI additions) to take a look at facilities/AI using the default Bell

Military: Usually taking the Viper online and flying some European hops.

Civil: I fly bush with a group out of Brazil. Been all over the globe with these guys.

I don't fly much anymore but when I do I like to fly the super hornet E, F, and G models made by team FS KBT. I also like to fly Kirk Olsson's F-16. I like to take off from a base then fly to near by airports for some touch and go's then fly back to the base.

I also fly business jets and airlines (nothing bigger than the 757)

Just wanted to say I also like to fly the Orion made by team FS KBT.

This flight sim actually makes be older then I am

Civil: Old Pan Am 707 routes.

Military: On the weekends need to strap into an F4 for a little low and fast fun.

Civil: I like to canyon bust as well, but prefer to use C-172, and see just how much of the canyon I can fly without making an exit upwards because of too sharp a turn or too narrow a length of canyon. I've managed to start at Boulder Dam and fly the canyon all across the top of Arizona with only a couple of exits. Some very close calls, and nearly too steep turns, but with practice it's possible. I of course have crash detect on and max real settings, except for never ending fuel supply. I have good textures and mesh for spectacular views of course. Also, I like to fly the Baron, and occasionally the King Air for longer trips. Haven't gotten into the heavys much yet. I really like dead reckoning navigation, seeing as how I have the addons that make that possible, do that in both civil and mil, ranging from Texas to Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. (Try El Paso to Albuquerque for instance - nice flight, good terrain, should not get lost, just follow mountain ranges, using cheap road atlas from Wally World.)

Military: Mostly the twins - B-25, A-26, E2 & C-47. Haven't found a jet that I especially like yet, but give a try to one now and again. F-86 is my next up for tryout! Actually, I think that I'll fly jets more once I get new stick - my MS FFB is no longer making me even a little happy. Thinking X-52 Pro, but will be a while because of cost.
