Military AI Works

While checking out the Carribean Defense force AI, I found four HTAI F-16s. There call signs were Mako and they launched. I followed for a while and they went South. I gave up when they passed Kingston Jamacia. Was this part of the package or do I have strays in my sim??

those are part of our Southeastern ANG package, from the callsign their from Homestead ARB located in Florida

That's half the fun of MAIW packages, you never know what's going to pop up where!!

Maybe they are down there for some R&R?

Thanks, I think I have every package loaded in. I keep saying I will build some kind of table to keep track--but that is one of those things it is easy to procrastinate. Besides, the surprises are another bit of fun.

i found 4 langley raptors at shaw.

I find Beale KC-135s pretty much everywhere lol. Everytime I fly commercially into an airport I see a -135 from Beale and after my flight I have to go into AFCAD and add in the military parking lol. Imagine pulling up to the Delta terminal at KSLC with a -135 chillin among the UPS guys on the UPS ramp.

First thought: "Well that's not right...."

Adding the right parking at airfields where the AI are transients is one of the things that could be done with a table and AFCAD mods. But it is a monumental task.
I think you would need an aircraft list, the places it transits, and of course the parking ID from the aircraft cfg files. Might be something you could do with excel or a windows table- but it is going to take a lot of data in columns and rows. Probably be a huge table. Might have to try just one AI package at a time. Just some thinking outloud.

After I "discover" them I just open up google earth, find that airport, open up AFCAD, and put the mil parking where I need it one airport (or two lol) at a time. in the KSLC example I just went in and added the Utah ANG parking which is a KC-135 wing based out of KSLC. Took me all of 20 minutes to make it all nice and purdy

That happens to me all the time now. Last time it happened it was at KSFO with a 135 from one of the Air National Guard units.
