Hi folks. I posted this on the other site but didn't get much reply so I tought I would ask here as well. I have been out sick for about a week now with the flu. Since I had nothing but time I thought I would finally tackly learning how to use TTools202 to add some AI F-16's to some military bases in my area (KDMA and KLUF). After lots of experimenting I finally got the flight plans to work so that I have a steady stream of F-16's to and from these two bases. I also downloaded the afcads so now there is plenty of parking. Everything works fantastic except for the fact that when the F-16's come into land at either base some land perfectly in the middle of the runway and some miss the runway by about 5 yards then veer back into the center of the runway before finally taking off. I know it's not a big deal, but I would really like it if they would land on the center of the runway everytime. I have set up the flights as VFR. Could that be the problem? Do they need to be set up as IFR to ensure perfect landings? If so, I can easily change the flight plans to IFR. It's just that I have spent so much time working on this that I am getting burned out and would like some suggestions before I tinker further. Also the AI F-16's are AI planes that I downloaded from the files section, so I am not using actual flyable regular aircraft.One other question while I am on this. In the AI's .cfg the atc airline call sign is Air Force. When I made my flight plans I set them up to use the registration number instead of Air Force then the flight number. However, atc calls them "experimental" instead of Air Force then the registration number. I would rather them be addressed as "Air Force" then the registration number. Is there anyway to fix this? Or, do I need to use a flight number so they will be called "Air Force" by atc.Thanks in advance for the help with this matter. I am really excited to get this fixed and start adding more military AI to other bases as I have often felt that the military traffic missing was kind of disappointing.Thanks again,Sean

Hi Sean, While I will try to take a stab at helping you a bit. The first thing I would do is download EditVoicepack, this great program will add the many call signs that will help you to get the traffic calls you need. You can also have ATC call them names like Viper, Redeye, etc. I am not sure about the problems that you are having with your F16's, I don't think that I have the same problems but I may be using different models. One thing you may try is to download from flightsim.com the file ai_ang1.zip, it contains several aircraft including F16's, AFCADS, voicepacks and flightplans for several Air National Gaurd units in various states. If these F16's work better you could use them for your project plus you would be getting more military traffic around the country. There are also other military packages out there that you can use. I don't know if any of this will really help you but I hope it will. Of late I have been trying to get a military presence in FS9 too and so far it looks pretty good. I have all of PAI's military packages but they do not have a lot of them out there yet and I believe theirs are only transport type right now. With the various other packages I have downloaded from here and Flightsim.com as well as my own custom flights I have F16's, B52's, C-130's, KC-135's, B2's, C21's, C141's, F22's, F117's, C5's, well you get the idea, and they all seem to work very well. I admit it can be a lot of work but it is worth it. If you need anything else please let me know. Philip OlsonI'm the luckiest man in the world, my girl friend has a yoke and rudder pedals!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am downloading that pacakge right now. Hopefully the F-16 models will work better than the one I am using right now. It's stange that I downloaded Afcads for KDMA and KLUF but why the planes don't always land in the center of the runway is beyond me. All th eother GA traffic I set up so far works fine as far as the lands go except for the F-16's. I even changed the flight plans to make them IFR to see if that helped but that seemed to make the landings even worse. Someone suggested that I change the .air files from another aircraft. I thought that would maybe help, so I placed a Lear 45 .air file in there for the F-16's, but now they don't even show up at all. I will try these other F-16's and see what happenes. Thanks again.Sean
