Thank you!

Post by PeterLumsden »

Hello all,

I have just joined the forum and wanted to say a big thank you for all who make this past time so interesting and informative! I am also (like another thread) creating an AI world based in the 70's having spent ages as a kid at Gatwick when life was a bit more interesting than it is now!

I was lucky that my first ever flight was in a Convair Coronado of Swissair from Heathrow to Geneva. My dad lived in Geneva and work for a publication called Interavia and interviewed a Coronado captain who described landing one as a controlled crash!! Anyway HJG model is great and works well in AI and now Europe is alive with Swissair and Spantax examples!

Thanks everyone and how the hell do I get AI Helicopters to work (and appear)??! I thought I understood Traffic tools etc! :doh:

Umm...its' complicated but can be done,if you're au fait with hacking
cfg files about, there's a tutorial and 'how to' by Holger Sandmann
in Avsim library, can't remember the file name right now.

You have to create duplicate folders,in effect doubling the number of Helicopters on your system, and mate them to a modified .air file and cfg file.

hope this helps
