Military AI Works

Posted: **04 Sep 2007, 17:23**

Hi,

some years ago (must have been in 1995) I was travelling thru Montgomery, Alabama. I was using Delta that time from KATL going forward to KMLU. I noticed at the airport that it has a military site there. Now as this is pretty long ago I do not remember what kind of military a/c have been based there. Does someone know which airport I am talking of and if the military site is still active ? Could this one http://www.montgomeryairport.org/ be the right one ? Does there exist any AI related files (AFCADs, AI a/c and plans) ? Does MAIW incorporated any flights to/from that airport in any released package so far ?

Many questions

But hopefully someone of you got the answers. Thanks !

Montgomery Regional Airport(KMGM), otherwise known as Dannely Field is home to the 187th FW(160th FS) consisting of F-16C/D aircraft. The 2005 BRAC recommended the 187th FW gain aircraft as well as KMGM become the new home of the 117th ARW from Birmingham.

I believe Dan Bourque put out a package that featured the F-16C/D aircraft. I know Graham has some repaints on his site.

Its ai_ang3.zip over at flightsim.com. Its the SouthEast ANG package. You'll get HTAI's awesome AI F-16C/D's plus some C-26's for MGM.

Thanks to all. I am just downloading that mentioned file. Searched for the authors name. Seems he has done some more packages

Edit: installed and it runs fine.

There is another thread about all of these Air National Guard packages being updated. So we should have an updated package soon.

The new package is excellent - beaucoup AI parked at the various bases. The only glitch I found was trees on one of the ramps but it is not a big deal only two of them Another excellent MAIW package!

Here is the direct download link: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... LID=110251

It's Dan B's original package, revamped and updated to reflect changes in units/bases. In addition it includes new F-15A/B models from Nick Black.

It on the civil ramp at KFSM-Fort Smith.

Weird. I don't have trees there. All sliders set to max. Are you using FSX?

Posted: **07 Oct 2007, 04:38**

I've got the same trees in the same place.

I'm using FS9, sliders well below max.

FS9 and my sliders are set to max also.

I wonder what the difference is.

Thanks MAIW. I will install that package in a few minutes

Posted: **07 Oct 2007, 11:15**

hmm, that is odd, I don't have those trees there either

do you have any mesh addons installed?

Posted: **07 Oct 2007, 12:19**

Installed. I cannot find those trees on KFSM... I tried different things including the use of my old AFCAD file. But everything works fine. Dont know who planted the trees at your airport

Posted: **07 Oct 2007, 14:29**

I have no terrain mesh addons installed.

Sure I have FS Global 2008, but that wouldn't effect object displays. Could be autogen I guess. Mesh is elevations, textures and bgls are objects. (I think).

Posted: **07 Oct 2007, 15:30**

Even if we assume mesh could alter object displays, it wouldn't much matter because I have no meshes installed and have the same trees.

I thought autogen as well but if the designers/testers have their autogen maxed out and aren't seeing it, why would I(who doesn't have max autogen)?

All in all it's not a big deal by any stretch as a I can make a simple exclude file... it's just curious.

If you make the exclude would you mind sharing? or tell me how to do that?
