Bring up the plane in Create A Flight. Does it show OK on the preview? If so, place it on a runway, go to spot view, and see how it looks. This checks the model. 2. Did you create a flight plan using it and merge it into your FS2K2 AI flight schedule? If you are not familiar with the procedures, download AI Traffic Mover from the usual sources. It includes the decompiler and compiler necessary to retrieve the current AI schedule, a GUI front end that lets you edit and merge in your stuff, and a compiler to recreate the traffic.bgl file. It also includes analysis and scheduling tools built in. The analysis lets you check the validity of the aircraft, routes, and other issues. It must be scheduled to show. To see how the data should look, just download an AI flightplan and look at the various files. 3. I just downloaded and started using AI Tactical Display. Within an active flight you can open up this plug-in's window and it shows as targets the AI in the area. Click on a target and you get data about its current status. I use it along with visual monitoring to check the validity of the aircraft flight model. As an example, I had a 757-200 that would taxi on to the runway and stay there forever. AITD showed it was at full throttle and indicated it was on take-off roll as commanded by the AI engine. Bad model. I replaced it with a similar version and all was well again. 4. There are FAQs posted in the Help forum of Project AI. Also get AFCAD and its FAQ to check-out and modify the virtual airport plan AI uses. 5. It was I think the Jan and Feb issues of Computer Pilot that had very nioce tutorials on the whole business. AI is complex and I suggest you get these issues if you are sticking to FS2K2. |

Doesn't appear in the list of available aircraft or doesn't appear in internal/external views once you've selected the aircraft and started a flight? -- Dave Pearson http://www.davep.org/ |

Found Pan Am textures for the default 747 and works just fine. Little steep on the climb, but all else is good. Thanks. |
