Military AI Works

Hello everybody!!!

I want to create flightplans for all major transport units for as many air forces as possible!

I've already released flightplans for Polish Air Force's An-26 (I know they aren't not in service anymore..but no AI C-295 are available...), Singapore Air Force's KC-135R & Fokker 50

But I have a new flightplan "policy"... is anyone interested by my project?


PS : I don't really know how to allow my AI traffic doing touch & go... If somebody can teach me this, I'll be happy of it!


Regards to all and pardon my poor english

TNGs are very easy, where most people screw up is that in order for TNGs to work the flightplan HAS to be VFR.


Here is a sample TNG flightplan from one of my files:

AC#1,58-0104,25%,WEEK,VFR,1/09:00:00,TNG1/10:15:00,060,F,04,KIAG

So that a/c will do TNGs at KIAG until 10:15:00, and will do the pattern at 6000 feet

Boubou, you should not apologize for your English, it is a lot better than my French.

Jumpshot724, the a/c will do TNG from 00:00 until 10:15?


Firebird...many thanks!

I don't know how you write your flightplans, but I use TTools and I just write the code in 3 seperate .txt files: "xxxx Airports.txt", "xxxx Aircraft.txt", and "xxxx Flightplans.txt" with the xxxx being replaced with whatever that set of flightplans is for (IE, "174thFW Airports.txt", "174thFW Aircraft.txt"....etc.)



So, I will break it down for you:

AC#1,58-0104,25%,WEEK,VFR,1/09:00:00,TNG1/10:15:00,060,F,04,KIAG


AC#1 - Aircraft repaint designated as number 1 from the "Aircraft.txt" file
58-0104- The serial number of this aircraft *1
25% - The percentage your AI setting in MSFS must be at for this flightplan to activate
WEEK - This flightplan is written in a week format (Mon, Tue, Wed....), meaning it will repeat weekly
VFR - VFR flight rules (As opposed to IFR) *2
1/09:00:00- Departs on monday (1), at 09:00:00 *3
TNG1/10:15:00- Does touch and goes until monday (1) at 10:15:00
060 - Will fly at this altitude while airborn (6000ft)
F - Aircraft will use a callsign (IE "Reach" etc) *4
04 - Flight number added to callsign (IE, "Reach 04")
KIAG - Arrival airport for the previous data

So in short, the aircraft will depart wherever it ended up from the last flightplan at 09:00:00 on Monday and will do TNGs at KIAG until 10:15:00 on Monday.

For a week format like this, you have to make sure that the entire set of flightplans ends where it began. IE, it can leave KIAG on monday at 09:00:00, but it must arrive BACK at KIAG before 09:00:00 on the following monday to repeat the process. Basically, make sure your Flightplans are a loop. If you are using TTools I HIGHLY recommend reading the ReadMe as that's where I learned everything. It's pretty self explanatory, Good luck!!



*1 - You may use the same repaint for more than 1 aircraft as long as the serial numbers are differnet. IE:
AC#1, 58-0104....
AC#1, 58-0105....

*2 - For TNGs the flightplan MUST be VFR or the aircraft will do missed approaches instead of TNGs

*3 - For a week format, 0 = Sunday, 1= Monday, 2 = Tuesday etc....

*4 - If you put R here, ATC will use it's serial number instead of a callsign. F and R are the only choices

Thanks for your kind and very clear explanation!

I am using MRAI compiler to make my FPs...

I've uploaded AI flightplans for the Hungarian Air Force's An-26 on Avsim.

I hope you will like them!

Well I don't know about anybody else but I will be grabbing them. Thanks.

Hi!
I've uploaded my last "package" almost 3 weeks ago. I'm waiting for any comments in order to improve my future "packages"

Thanks

Well I have installed the Hungarians on my system.

I have two pieces of advice I would give.
Firstly, most air forces do not fly at the weekend. If they do it is maybe one or two aircraft at most, and very sparsely used. In a fleet of 5 aircraft, you might get one aircraft fly one leg a day.
Secondly, the aircraft fly too frequently, a lot of them are flying 6-8 legs a day. if they flew that for real they would get very worn out. I would reduce it by half.
I know that its great to see AI aircraft flying, but the more AI you have on your system the more cluttered that you get and you have problems with traffic not being able to move. Also the Hungarians only have two bases now, plus the NATO C-17 base. You would not need that level of traffic.

Apart from those two points very nice work.

thanks for your really interesting comment! I'll introduce your remarks in my new flightplans
