I quess the basic question is what makes an aircraft or ship AI useable? I have built a car ferry ship which will appear as an aircraft (right in the middle of an airport) but if I attempt to use it in AI as a ship, it becomes very shy and stealthy and will not show up. Other ships act normal and on schedule. Am I missing something? Does something have to be done the the MDL file to make it an AI vehicle? I might add that my time is usually spent in scenery, not aircraft; so excuse me if this is a fundamental / dumb question. Al

Hi Al,have you checked the "Aircraft Radius" and corresponding "gate size" in AFCAD2? I assume a ferry might have a pretty big radius.Cheers, Holger

Oh, almighty guru of boats.... Thank You.....I had the 'spot' set up as a Gate Heavy which has a radius of 54 meters if I recall correctly.... Took the radius up to 75 meters and bingo... Now to see if we can get it to 'fly' to another port. There is something there that I don't understand yet....Thanks again Holger. Al

Hi Al,you're welcome!As for your "flying-to-other-ports" question, maybe this thread can answer some of it: http://www.flightsimmer.com/forums/showthr...ght=holger+shipCheers, Holger
