Need AI wizzo!

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Hi Loek~

I dont know about the smoke...but I have an idea about the flying.

Tom Gibson is probably the guy that can answer this most efficiently.

But for a test, why not substitute an AI propliner airfile from his
Calclassics site and put it in the Connie folder. I dont think there is
a Connie AI file now, but I can find out.

I will test this myself.

cheers,

pepys

Hi Loek~
Tom Gibson's AI propliners use the default 737-400 airfile, too, I just
saw that while inspecting the AI connie.

drop that file in the AI folder and change the sim= line to:

sim=Boeing737-400

trying this tonite myself.

Hi,

Pepys has answered most of the questions, but I will attempt the rest.

1. I don't know why this should be happening - it's not happening to
me. Normally AI don't display things from the Effects section - only
the Lights section of the aircraft.cfg file. Did you add anything to
the planes' Lights section?

2. You indeed need to replace the AIR file with the default 373-400 AIR
file. Either rename it to match the original AIR file, or change the
sim= line in the plane's aircraft.cfg file to match the 737's AIR filename.

Hope this helps,
