AI Aircraft/Traffic Update

[Tom/CalClassic]

Hi all,

Mike Stevens and I have also been working on the AI traffic/aircraft package. We have updated the following:

The AI aircraft files (#1-5): Added the LET Aero 145 air taxi aircraft for East Germany, added more charter liveries, and added takeoff flaps to many of the aircraft (the Connies are still to do). Others may be available on request, if I have the source files.

The AI Traffic file (#6): Added flights for the new charter aircraft. Updated and corrected various flights (like the LH 707 that appeared at San Diego instead of San Francisco!).

The AI AFCAD file (#7): Minor improvements.

The AI EVP file (#9): Adds the East German Airports, and Autair callsign.

The AI MATS traffic: Adds traffic to Tempelhof.

The AI GA traffic: Removes almost all GA traffic from East Germany and the rest of the communist world.

The one limitation of the takeoff flaps is that they snap instantly to the takeoff position when the plane takes the runway - nothing I can do to help that...

These are all available on my AI Aircraft page: www.calclassic.com/AIAircraft.htm

Post here if you find any visual or other problems - there certainly might be some hiding in there.

Thanks,

Hmmm, and how do I ship now future sceneries to San Diego ;D

Great work ! Thank you very much

You'll just have to connect at San Francisco or at New York...

Hi Tom, Mike,

Thank you very much for all the updates you made. That must have been a huge job.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I finished the takeoff flaps project, doing the Connies (and Starliner), Britannia, Vanguard, and B307. Now all AI aircraft that I have the source files for have them.

Glad it appears that no one has found any problems. The most obvious problems would be incorrect flap deployment, stairs popping up on cargo versions from further away, and incorrect shadows or display of blurred props.

BTW, most propliner AI aircraft now have more parts textured when at medium distances, which should improve their appearance in some versions of FSX (i.e. they don't turn black). In Acceleration there may still be problems with blurred prop appearance.

Enjoy,

Tom,
About the new A1 Aircraft/Traffic updates. Do you run the installers over the top of the the older
A1 Traffic files.??
Thank's for any help.

Hi,

Yes, just run the installers again. That's all you need to do.

Hope this helps,
