Why do some VFR AI request IFR clearance?

Featured Replies

I have Joe Binka's AI Geese addon that populates the FS sky with Canadian Geese. The addon works fine (thanks Joe!), however I occasionally hear the geese "flights"--which all have the registration "GEESE" and are designated as VFR in the Flightplan text file--requesting IFR clearance prior to takeoff. What's the deal? Is this some AI quirk?IFR mysteries aside, I have to admit that it's amusing to hear ATC advising geese that I'm in their flightpath. :D -- Walt

If the weather is below VFR minimums the AI VFR aircraft will request for IFR. Geese also.

They're just showing off.

I always wondered what VFR AI did in bad weather. I assumed they just sat waiting on the tarmak, but I guess even VFR traffic--and geese especially--have appointments to keep.-- Walt

The Geese flight plan should include touch and go's!Kilstorm
