AMC flights and Ramstein.
Posted: 12 Apr 2009, 15:01
Hi all,
I've been working through all the old PAI C-17 packs to rewrite the C-17 flightplans, with a view to making them far more realistic. I've also combined this with a view to putting more traffic through Ramstein as nowadays there's such a volume of 'heavies' going through there. The added availability of the C-17/KC-10 repaints at Avsim has also helped. I noticed there's been quite a few queries on the forum for traffic in and out of Ramstein plus a modern AFCAD. I can offer the following out if anybody wants them.
437th AMW Charleston. Have so far written for 41 C-17s, which is a little short. Unlike the FPs that came with them, I always make sure the aircraft make at least one stopover at their home base during the week. I found the C-17 bases originally were virtually empty as the aircraft hardly visited their home bases.
62nd AW McChord. 25 C-17s. Same as above for the details.
3rd Wing Elmendorf. 8 C-17s. This was just a alteration of the C-17 FPs of the MAIW package (hope that's ok). This was to send them around the globe more alongside the other units. I photographed one of these landing at RAF Mildenhall a few weeks ago so they do get around.
3rd AS Dover. Only the C-17 unit so far (13 a/c), to tye in with the new repaints at AVSIM.
60th AMW Travis. 19 KC-10, 8 C-17 and 11 C-5 (so far). This one is more of a work in progress than the others - the C-5s have only been added today after adding a working AI C-5 with the correct repaints from Graham at AVSIM. The C-17s and KC-10s are also from recent repaints on AVSIM.
All these fly legs inside the US to both commercial and military fields, plus overseas to most major countries, with a heavy emphasis on the US - Japan/Korea run and the US - europe (Ramstein/Lajes/Incirlik/Rota) - Middle East run as well. The plans also allow for crew rest stops at various points as most FPs seem to forget that and turn planes around very quickly. I'll add more as time allows.
If anybody knows how to get the German made scenery for Ramstein working in FS9 without floating AI and also getting rid of the statics I would be very pleased to hear from them!
