A scenery question, if I may

Post by Paul K »

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me how I place other aircraft at airports in FS9 ? I don't need them to move at all, just stand there and look pretty. For example, I'd like to dot a few Alphasim Hampdens around an airfield to give the feeling I'm on an operational WW2 RAF base...so how do I go about it ?

Thanks for any help. :smile:

Hi Paul

I know it's probably not the right answer but a friend of mine got some aircraft by making them AI arriving a 0001 and departing at 2359 so they were parked all day.........or at least that's what I understood :worried: :think:

I think that's about the easiest way to do it Garry and unless you're one of those types that fly all hours of the day and night, it'll work fine :wink:

Well it does seem clean and effective and easily adjustable....certainly it worked out when he did it to my machine a few installs ago :smile:

It's an easy and effective way to do it, certainly the method I always use.

So you can't edit the scenery in some way and import a model from your aircraft collection and locate it there ?

Nope, as Gary correctly explained it has to be done as AI.

Yep, you make them as AI, use 'Traffic Tools'
and a little 'front end' program called Y-Route from here (its' free)

http://www.spacejock.com/yRoute.html

to help with the compilation.
