I was wondering if there is a way to do this. I would like to set an ai plane to fly around the world. In other words, I was thinking of starting the ai plane at a chosen airport and then set it to visit random cities across the world. I use woai, trafficx, super traffic board (you name it) so I am hoping that I can use some of those programs to achieve this. I basically want to see an aircraft depart the starting airport and follow it as it crosses the world visiting cities without having to "fly" it myself. Sounds like the ultimate lazy flyer doesn't it. I just downloaded the new super traffic board and I love it and I spend hours watching the plane fly from one airport to the other. So why not follow a plane around the world. This doesn't sound like I am asking too much, right? (haha). Thanks everyone!

I think u need a second hobby.

You can set an AI plane up to do that for sure, but you can't follow it around indefinetely without moving your own aircraft. I'm not sure what the limit is, but FS doesn't draw AI aircraft outside a certain range. In other words, you'll have to fly a plane yourself behind the AI in order to follow that AI plane. And if you are anyway flying after the plane, you might as well just fly without the AI plane...

Or a job (or a woman)!

Using the Traffic Toolbox that is included in the S.D.K., you can indeed easily change your viewpoint to any ai airplane and simply follow it around its complete flight path without moving your user aircraft.Best regards.Luis

No, I don't think you can. AI planes are not drawn outside of a certain range. At leats, that's what I alwatys thought, or is this something pre FSX only?

Easy way to find out. Try it and see.Best regards.Luis

That's something the OP may found out on his own then
