Converting to AI

right ok

i have managed to get one a/c out of 9 to work......that was the cs c130......and amazingly it had no effect on fr..........

i am trying to get the hover control bell 412 to work, here is the file:-

sim=Hovercontrol_412_Agusta

Hi Neil.....In the text within TTools under your Aircraft entry for the flightplan.....what do you type in that heading mate....?

Might have to play around with the exact wording to make the Helicopter show up.....try putting "412" in and see what happens....?

Or try putting "HC412_Agusta_uk_f1" in and if that fails try "Hovercontrol_412_Agusta" one of them should work mate....?

Hope you understand Neil....? Under the AC#? the ? has to be the next number in sequence and has to comply with the compiled Flightplan.....

cheers Tony i will try that......

i have ascending numbers etc, i guess it will be the text...412 etc

here goes..... Coolio

[petermcleland]

The text in your Ttools Aircraft.txt file MUST contain this in quotes "HC412_Agusta_uk_f1" for the aircraft name...NO ERRORS in that allowed, or it will not show. So that aircraft line in the .txt file will be

AC#?,?,"HC412_Agusta_uk_f1"

The first ? is a number and the one in the FlightPlan.txt file must be the same number...AC#?,

The second ? is its cruising speed...try 120

Don't forget that when you have altered anything, you must recompile it with Ttools.exe and THEN start FS9...You MUST start FS9 after recompiling or the changes will NOT be there till you do.

Edit...I note that you have put a parking code of cag...I imagine that is what you have chosen but I would prefer to see it in Upper Case CAG and make sure it is exactly the same in the Parking "Properties"...BTW mine is GAG for Gate Guard. I suggest you use ST1 etc for Statics. Anything will do as long as it is not an official airline code...They are all listed on the Drop Down arrow for that box...ST1, ST2, ST3 etc will be safe.

Thanks for making that clearer Peter.....

I knew what i meant but you said it right..... :roll:

Neil,

You will never get a helicopter to act at AI using its own aircraft.cfg and .air file. You have to kid it on that it is actually a Stemme motor glider. If you go to Avsim and download ai__schweizer_300c_helicopter.zip, this zip contains the .cfg and .air files created by Holger Sandmann and Doug Callihan, which you can use with your own helicopters. If you are not sure of how to do it, send me a PM and I'll email you specific instructions.

I have got loads of helicopters acting as AI; none of them actually take off vertically, but they lift off after about 50 feet and land at about 10 knots forward speed.

John,

We weren't actually trying to get this AI to fly...We were only making Static aircraft from working FS models

But yes, if you actually wanted to make an AI helicopter fly, then your route is the only way to go :flying:

One other thing Neil...If your static AI aircraft is still refusung to show, make sure that the Parking you have chosen for it is BIG enough to accept it. If you allocate a GA Small parking slot to a static 747 then it will never show

Hi all..............

what can i say.... bugger..... i still can't get this bell 412 to work as either static or AI.............

i have added a link to the d/l.... i was wondering if anyone with the skill or know how could please have a go at converting it then let me know how rubbish i am lol :prayer: :prayer:

I can't see where you are going wrong as it is an automatic installer...You did correct the

install address to the right one for your setup?


This is the first of about 28 available in the package.

peter sorry if i came over wrong.....

i have installed and flown the helo...fantastic, its the altering of the a/c cfg to make it static that i can't conquer....

i have followed your instructions to the letter....and still it does not appear!
