Fun with AI....

[Guest John_Cillis]

Rarely do I fly with AI on.... My P3/800 doesn't shuffle all those A/C very well. But flying the recently downloaded Phantom ultralight at Napa County, I decided I wanted a bit of company, so I cranked AI to max...Even though it chopped my framerates to around 15-18 (I turned Autogen & reflections off to cope with the AI), it was quite a bit of fun trying to find my place in the pattern with all those GA a/c milling about. I had winds around 7kts, gusting to 25, and it was fun watching AI cope with them. I'd tuned the Phantom .air file to handle such winds rather well (more on that in a future post), so I was able to manage the winds quite a bit better than the AI, it seemed.Not a very realistic flight, but it was fun to have a bit of company...-John
