So military planes park at the FBO? Why wouldn't they park at the ANG base that is there? Most ANG or AFRES bases are not setup for servicing and supporting transit aircraft. A great many normal AFB or NAS are also not setup for transit aircraft of multiple types. For example - Whiteman would not b...

That is one of the changes in FSX. FSX will allow the user to see AI aircraft on his own system while on multi-player, both the default GameSpy system built into FSX, and if using the FSHost FSX Connector to allow you to fly with FS2004 folks. We have to turn off AI most of the time while flying mul...

One more problem if you guys dont mind, I have alot of assgined parking at this peticular airport and some of my AI aircraft are parking on top of each other even though there are other parking spots? Any solution for that? The two main causes of this are (1) duplicate AFCAD files - as mentioned ab...

I've installed Nellis and it is okay in FSX. It really suffers because of not having the photobackground/ landclass. The FS2004 excludes are worthless in FSX. You have to create new excludes for most objects. You also have to modify the FSX airport background polygon to cover the expanded area of th...

FlightSim will not allow helicopters to be used as AI. If the .AIR file identifies the aircraft as a helicopter - the AI engine will not display the aircraft. Some folks long ago were able to use a motorglider flight dynamics paired with a helicopter model to make somewhat acceptable helicopter AI. ...

I finally get all the various Libyan military traffic available here up and running - and now much of it is disappearing in the real world.

But having served in a squadron with A-3, and having flown on several - they still fly in my AI world, along with Mike Stone's EC-121.

Good thing they are based at NAS Agana Guam where there is realtively little traffic.

A five character parking code could cause a CTD.

I'm so happy for your parents and wife's parents. Grandchildren are among the greatest joys in life !!!! (Pic at the left is a half-dozen of mine.) Though nothing compares to the first time someone holds their child. I hope you and the wife enjoy the kids. I'm sorry to see you go, but folks have to ...

I keep trying to create a spreadsheet; but; sometimes there is a 1 minute wait, and then the next wait may only be 10 or 15 seconds. FS ignores the seconds in any AI flight plan. It starts the aircraft pre-flight sequence in the first 10 seconds of the next minute. If your aircraft is slated for de...

If you look at the eastbound traffic on the divided highway near the north sequence of photos - you will see the same few vehicles duplicated several times. There is a dark vehicle in the left eastbound land passing by a lighter vehicle in the right lane. In the third group of four shots of these tw...

Google Earth/ Google Maps tiles for the resolution like used at Gulfport are about 850 feet square. The images for the Gulfport airport were taken on Jan 6, 2010. The one aircraft near the threshold of Rwy 14 with four images is executing a climb as the distance between the aircraft and shadow incre...

First make a backup of the texture.

Then
Open the texture with DXTBmp
Select top menu "Alpha" select "Invert Alpha"
Save and see how it works.

FSX has two vastly different versions of KEDW. One is the base version and Acceleration adds a completely new airport with a lot of new scenery objects and photorealistic backgrounds. It also adjusts the position of the airport slightly to match the photo backgrounds vice the official charts which w...

MAIW traffic files are also in FS9 format. You can keep all your WoA and MAIW traffic files in FS9 format if you wish. The only negative is the days of the week are off by one. In FS9 the days are Sunday - 0, Monday - 1, Tuesday - 2, etc. In FSX the days are Monday - 0, Tuesday - 1, Wednesday - 2, e...

Nope - we don't need to send more workers home. Replacing 9 reindeer with four suckers. Keep them off unemployment and on the job.

Having individual repaints for a fleet of aircraft where the only change is the registration number is a huge resource hog/ FPS killer. FS does not know that 99.9% of the texture is identical, so it has to load each into memory before it can be displayed. Cutting down fleets down to one or two repai...

As mention above - the AFCAD's are useless in FS2002 - you have to find a version of AFCAD v1 and create your own airport parking. It is much harder in FS2002 than FS2004 because AFCAD only displays the taxi lines - no aprons, buildings, etc. Also as mentioned above - there can be only one traffic f...

Oh the days - of sitting on our carport in Dededo and watching the Buffs coming back from Nam - a steady stream about 1,500 feet overhead just before their final descent. Like watching an updated version of 12 O'clock High - live.

I'll be very interested in this one.

Am I missing a texture file?
