Military AI Works

I have been doing some scenery work using ADE9 and the MAIW libraries. I have just about finished NAS New Orleans, NAS Fort Worth, and all of the hard surfaced Navy Outlying Fields (NOLF) in the Pensacola/Whiting Field area. Here are some screenies for you guys to enjoy.

Wolf NOLF


Santa Rosa NOLF


Choctaw NOLF


Summerdale NOLF


Barin NOLF

I love the look of that Fort Worth Jrb. It has some nice possibilities with foreign F-16s sitting outside, and of course eventually some F-35s, outside the Lockheed sheds.

With wich software did you realise the scenery, and how dit you create different pavement for one runway ?

I'm creating some sceneries, and I try to make some diffrent pavement for one runway...but it's not concluent....

Thanks for you answer.

I used ADE9 to build the airports and add the objects, and to create the different textured runways, I started with an asphault runway, then added concrete runways on top of that to make the diffrent surfaces, all of the marking show through, so make sure the markings are on the base runway, and leave the added runway surfaces blank.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, great tip - I must try it out...

What would be a good standard parking code to use for the Lockheed Martin ramp? I was planning on just using a genaric F-16/F-35 code.

LM could work

These look great, my NW FL will be complete. Now if I could only get Jim D. to re-release his FSX only NAS Pensacola and Whiting North for FS9.

I thought about that one too, it seems specific enough, I think I will use that, next stop, copious Lock Mart parking spots

The official ICAO codes if you want them are:

CBD "CATBIRD" for LOCKHEED MARTIN AERONAUTICS (FORT WORTH, TX)
LNG "LIGHTNING" for LOCKHEED MARTIN AERONAUTICS COMPANY (FORT WORTH, TX)

Nice job! Is Pensacola the scenery that has been released on Flightsim?
But what is a NOLF?

Just a thought - something you've probably already considered, but anyway...

Are there any existing AI packages from well established organisations (such as MAIW) that already send traffic to the LM facility? If so, it would be good to include some spots that are coded (or blank) in such a way that these AI packages will work without users having to adjust the codes that the AI aircraft came with "out-of-the-box".

@James:

I think NOLF means "Naval Out-Lying Field"? ie. a nearby airstrip for the sole use of training exercises and maybe some overflow on occasion.

That is what I am trying to do, I am want to make sure that these packages are as standard as they can be. I did a quick search on avsim for some LM packages but couldn't find anything. I vaguely remember someone doing a repaint of the house colors Viper based there, but as far as a standard code, I am thinking I may be on my own for that.

James, Kunfuman is correct, NOLF means Navy Outlying Field, used mainly for touch-and-goes/low approaches for training flights.

Thanks!
