Any chance you could make these into packages with info on what model is used etc as they are not muxh use to me if they are not complete with the models listed.
I can find nothing at all!, no readme etc telling me who's model is used and where to get it and the listed livery. :think:
Sorry but some of us just are not Ai minded
Great idea but seem to assume we are all know what was used to make the files.
I am not knocking the project just saying it's audience would be massive if it was more descriptive & complete

There's been some internal debate about whether or not to offer these as packages complete with aircraft and compiled .bgls so it's just a case of moving the files into the appropriate folders. We decided against this for a couple of reasons. First is that some of the aircraft used in the 200 or so files we have have distribution limits - i.e., the authors don't want the model redistributed, they want you to obtain it from their site only. The other concern raised is that of personal preference - some people like the low-polygon-count AI models, while others with faster systems may wish to use some of the detailed flyable models such as David Maltby's or those from HJG. For that reason, it was decided to only offer the raw data, so that the user can modify the aircraft.txt file to suit their needs.
There is a readme included with the BEA '72 file that lists the location of the base files and the repaints. A lot of the previous files do not include readmes, but we pretty much have standard models that we use - ai-aardvark, CDAI, EvolveAI, Dee Waldron and Henry Tomkiewicz models, and all of the needed repaints are available on Avsim. This is really the first project that uses British aircraft (other than a couple of US airlines that flew the BAC 1-11), so it's charting new ground for us. All of these files, however, are easily compiled into .bgl files readable by FS using Traffic Tools.
If you have any further questions, you can try our forum on Simufly.com, as this is not my paying job (Though I really wish it was!), so I usually only check messages 1-2 times a day. But in the forum - just as in here - you may have someone who can answer your questions at a time when I'm not available. But I will try and check here again in the evenings (central US evenings) just in case.
A G159 - I remember that thread, because there were a couple of people who wanted that plane. I know you didn't send it to me - it was probably Marc or Henry - I'll ask them if they have it. It's hard to find some of the older threads, as Simufly was hit by a hacker sometime last year an a whole load of posts were deleted. It was right around the time Dee discovered some software company in Colombia was pirating freeware AI models. You can send me the G159 if you want and I'll let the painters know it's available, if you want.
"Attack" is the word I would have used too FYI.
