Hi Guys

Could anyone point me in the direction of good AI for late 60's Early 70's, got lots of flight plans fron retro AI but cant seem to lay my hands on any (for example) AI tridents / 1-11 / Viscounts / 737-200(god forbid!) / etc etc?

Thanks all

Hi Jordan

For some classic british AI, you could check out

gaukairc.zip

at Avsim

and http://htaimodels.com/downloads/dwai/fs_projects/

More aircraft can be found at

http://www.calclassic.com/AIAircraft.htm

and for 737-200 etc look no further than

http://www.ai-aardvark.com/aiaircraft/aiaircraft.html

Many repaints are available at both Avsim (including my very own KLM DC-9-30 "klm_dc930.zip" ;-) ) and Flightsim.com.

Hope this is of help.

Regards

Kevin

Hi Scott.

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind? Set at David Maltby's 1975 Manchester Ringway. These are all AI aircraft.

If you look back at this post, it may answer some of your questions and there are some more pics. http://www.cbfsim.org/cbfsim/cbfsBB/vie ... &sk=t&sd=a. You should also see a pic of Kevin's KLM DC9! Which is very nice indeed!

I've fully populated Kai Tak, Manchester and Bermuda with retro traffic of the 70s and 80s including the a/c types you mentioned, using my own flightplans. After spending a lot of time putting it all together, I can recommend these AI models for the aircraft you mention.

Tridents and 1-11s: DM includes a conversion batch file with all his models that allows you to use any of them as AI. Although I find that the full models don't use up much resources either and look better if your PC can cope. Viscounts: you're better off using Rick Piper's full model and download the package from the VA section here. You don't need the panel or sound folders if you're using full models for AI.

As Kevin says, the Aardvark 737-200 is very nice (as are all of the Aardvark models) and there are plenty of good repaints for it. If you are using World of AI traffic, you will already have several classic AIAardvark models included and there's no need to download them again. Just add paints to what you've got. Examples are 747-100/200, DC10, 727-100/200, 737-200/300, DC-9 etc.

No problem

Sorry - did I get your name wrong?

it seemed to show up as 'Jordan' initially, but now says 'Scott'.

Hope you're not offended.
