February 2, 201313 yr Hi community, Firstly I would like to state that I am not affiliated with any payware developers, nor am I a developer myself - I am your simple every day FSX buff. A few days ago, I took part in a discussion on this forum regarding the use of military aircraft within FSX. I myself have been very happy with some of the add-ons that I have installed. I know that we have TacPac which is being improved all the time, and also the Captain Sim weapons, but I found myself thinking on a different tack....... Would it be possible perhaps to create an add on that integrated with payware AI traffic, where randomly aircraft did not squawk or reply when entering an ADIZ within the sim? This way, we could have missions where one can use your fighter and radar to track the 'bogey', get visual identification, and then escort them down to an approved field. I'm not one for flying around and shooting things up and blowing things up within FSX, but I think that this would add a new dimension to the sim if indeed it could be added. I'm sure it could be created as an FSX adventure pack, but as fellow simmers, how interested would you be if we could add such mission? Or perhaps it has been done already without my knowledge? LOL Thanks all. Kind regards, Andrew.
February 2, 201313 yr As much as this sounds like a great thing, and I would really appreciate such an addon, I'm afraid, that it's not possible due to FSX AI and airspace logic, which allows planes only to fly certain pre-planned routes, and always with the correct squawk, as this is "set" on clearence read-back (as it is done in the user controlled aircraft, unless you dial it in manually before read-back). The only way to get somewhere close to this is via the mission system, and there actually is a mission where you have to intercept and escort an aircraft (only a little C172, though).
