WOAI Bug?

Featured Replies

First off, I am quite impressed at the level of detail that is in the World Of AI Packages. I don't know why I have been stuck with the pretty much useless UT2 for quite some time. I have come across a small issue though - I was flicking through the AI aircraft to observe the great detail in these models and came across a WestJet 737 pretty much doing a nose dive on descent. Is this a bug?

I remember seeing weird stuff like that before I switched to UT2, not sure what causes it. 

I have obsevered that issue with MTX, too. Looks like it's some kind of bug in the AI engine rather than the "AI supplier".

There are quite a few bugs in the flightplans (and probably a few with the flight models as well), but if they are causing the strange behavior is hard to know. When using AIFP2 to check the flightplans you'll often get quite a few errors. But on the whole, WOAI is a fantastic offering and once you've downloaded all the packages it is simple and easy to install and maintain. Overall I like WOAI far better than any of the payware offerings and all their bloatware and messing about with my FSX install. Best of all, I use it with good results in P3D v2 too, although there are a few packages containing FS9 only models which will cause g3d.dll and kernelbase.dll crashes (Regional Air of Morocco comes to mind).

I agree - the models in WOAI are by far much greater in detail than most, if not all payware AI out there! For what World Of AI delivers, it almost makes me wonder why the payware ones are so expensive for what you get when WOAI is completely FREE.

 

How would replacing WOAI's config files with UT2's work out?

Using UT2 you can assign WOAI aircraft to UT2 airline flight plans using Traffic Options / Aircraft repaints menu. That's what I have done, thus now I have good WOAI models and UT2 routes with waypoints instead of just direct from airport A to airport B like with WOAI.

 WoAI doesn't make any of the models, they are a group that have permission from the painters, planners and model makers to create AI package's for free.

 Keep in mind also that many of UT2's routes are simply generic routes created by the FSX flightplanner and are therefore not very good. Yes, they are routes compared to direct tracks, but I've checked many of them and they were some pretty odd routings between cities and not realisitc at all. It's all customizable within UT2 but is a very large task to actually fix.

 

 The image shown by the op is very common within the first 30 minutes of spawning in FSX with traffic bgls as the AI often spawn at altitude when near their arrival airport.

I think that is not a WOAI bug, they are using FAIB models, I have the same problem, maybe the problem is the "air" file of the aircraft

I've had this same thing happening with non-FAIB WOAI packages too, I believe it's not related to any particular AI aircraft model. 

 It's got nothing to do with the model! It's part of the AI engine and has been doing it since AI was first introduced to FS.

I agree, i've seen it happen with many payware and freeware AI packages, its just the way it is.. Not only do you see the occasional nose dive but also you will see a/c landing short of the runway at times when the traffic first spawns
