Re: Scenery & AI incompatabilities???

SORTED!!! DONE!!!

One of the MAIW guys kindly pointed out that some FS9 AI (even after converting with AIFP) will not show if you have "aircraft casts shadows" ticked in the general graphics setup settings.

Re: Scenery & AI incompatabilities???

No Dan, the traffic files hit the recycle bin the moment they were released from the zip!! EDIT: Just been fiddling with it again - it may be the case that AI is present but is INVISIBLE... I slewed over to LN and was run over by an invisible Combat Talon. Of course when AI is not moving there are n...

Re: Scenery & AI incompatabilities???

Could you please tell me exactly how and what you installed? Dan, the whole Mildy scenery directory (including scenery & texture directories) was just copied into the FSX addon scenery directory and added within the game as per a normal scenery addition. As long as you haven't put the Traffic_E...

Re: Scenery & AI incompatabilities???

The scenery will have an AFCAD file. AFCAD is not compatible with FSX so you'll need to do your own using something like airportdesigneditor or FSXplanner (both free) ;-) Hi Ben, thanks for this, although when I made Fairford for FS9, I used AFCAD 2.21 for the AFCAD (you'd never have guessed!! :$ )...

Scenery & AI incompatabilities???

Hi all, Not sure this has ever been noted before (It must have surely!) but in FSX, I've discovered a scenery/AI incompatability issue. I can't find any FSX scenery for RAF Mildenhall, so downloaded an FS9 version (by Matt Magner) and put it in. Expecting some scenery / code issues and a major hit o...

Re: VC10 smoke in FSX (Accelleration)

Thanks again guys, managed to darken the smoke with that easy tip! :welldone: Is there any factor that can be added or changed in the cfg so the smoke does not disperse quite so easily and stays behind the a/c in trails for longer rather than seemingly blowing away only a few metres behind the a/c r...
