Thank you so much for this! I am doing a retro RNZAF/Nowra package, but might just have to do an extra-retro(tm) version, rolling back to before 1984... I mean I even have HMAS Melbourne sailing off the coast for some T&G practice ;-) Looking forward, patiently, for the RNZAF Kahu birds... which...

I also use Windows 7 64bit and have had no problems designing or flying. However, since the Lakenheath traffic.bgl pre-dates the release, I guess users will need to ensure that all the required waypoints have been carried over from their old machines. I don’t know for sure if a missing scenery wayp...

Interesting; John's Lakenheath traffic file works fine..... wonder what the difference is with mine.....
Further investigation to follow

A few worrying things happening it would seem. So: 3. SeanG/ChrisB - Ive watched the F-111s extensively both at Upper Heyford and at my test airfield and have not experienced a failure to take off or a PVFC. Chris, could you e-mail me your Lakenheath AFCAD and flightplan and let me know at what tim...

Thanks for this package John, it looks outstanding!

I am having one problem though; The aircraft are taxiing correctly, but wont take off. They sit on the runway, burners glowing, then a couple of minutes later FS crashes.
Anyone else having this problem?

Thank you! thank you! thank you!

On no particular schedule, again with the blessing of Mark, I will do the RAAF/RNZAF/RAN Skyhawks as well, with individual base models. You sir, deserve a large beverage of your choice... you've just made my day! Looking forward to replacing the A-4 models in my Ohakea/Nowra retro package :) SeanG

I did a simple (and crude compared to you guys!) B707 tanker for MP once, and I used the gear as the trigger, as it was the only animation that I could be sure of :) So I had Gear down, drogues in, Gear up drogues out.. Meant that even if the animation events weren't sent then the gear would default...

We normally only use one waypoint in any leg ie take off -waypoint - land (need not be home airport) any more may cause problems Thanks Gary, I'm doing some experiments around waypoints, dummy AFCADs and timing, so I'll let you know how they all work out... Trial and error is my constant companion ...

I must admit that i thought I had aircraft flying at 1000' but it might be outside of controlled airspace and it was some time ago. Another to watch out for VFR flying aircraft will not avoid obstacles or terrain IFR ones will auto their height to remain safe. That could account for the 2000ft when...

Thanks again Steve, Another observation: when I set a plan as IFR they fly at 2000ft, whereas VFR they fly down to the alt I set (in this case 500ft...) So I am guessing there is a limit to the alt that IFR will fly? For my purposes an actual TNG on my waypoint runway wont be that bad, as it's 100NM...

The 250kt limit is imposed by the AI engine whilst in controlled airspace under 8000', I think (although it might be 10000'). The trouble is that unlike real life FS9 does not go into details of assigning controlled as in real life. It assigns controlled airspace from the ground up and does not eve...

I have started building a retro package for RNZAF Skyhawks out of Nowra and Ohakea, based on interviews with former air and ground crew from 2 and 75 Sqns. I've built AI flightplans before, but only airliner/ga/normal stuff, now I want to do something a little more interesting, but I have a lot of q...

That is great news!

I Might even have to do a Draken International package now, since the last 8 A-4k's and 9 Macchi 339CB's are going to them

SeanG

These are a great start and I agree the would look the part with loadouts. On Avsim his modified NBAI Scooters are in the following variants.

You can, and I have... ModelConvertX is the way to go, but I had to go from FSX BGL library object, to 3DS, open that in GMax and rescale, then export as a scenery object again. Long and tedious, but it got the model I wanted into FS9 (A-4M Skyhawk to go on a carrier scenery...) SeanG http://www.sim...

<hopping from foot to foot in excitement> WOOHOO! Can't wait now!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou so much! Now we just need an AI Macchi MB339CB and we'd be set

(did I mention THANKYOU?)

Hi guys, I am *really* looking forward to this package, being an absolute A-4 fan and all :) If anyone needs any data, more photos or whatever on Kiwi A-4's let me know. I have a good collection of information, photos, paint details (and drawings of the original 70's scheme, if we get a humped model...
