Adjusting AI Approach & Departure path

Featured Replies

Is there a utility I can download or buy to adjust how AI planes land and depart at certain airports. For example KDCA I would like them to follow the real life river visual approach and departure.This is for FSX thanks in advance.John

There is very limited control over how AI approach and depart airports. It depends on the flightplan type (VFR/IFR), the existence of an ILS approach for a runway (both in VMC and IMC), or another approach type for a runway (IMC). For the most part, you can get AI to take a simple curved approach to an ILS within some limits, which include how the FDE for the AI are tweaked. The best way is use ADEX airport editor which can edit approach data, and look at the dedicated forum on fsdeveloper.com. I believe that at an airport like KDCA, AI will preferentially use the ILS 1 approach. In low viz conditions you might get an LDA 19 approach, and that approach I believe you can tweak.scott s..
