Hello, I just recently dusted off this great sim and I'm having a lot of fun with it!  I do have a few questions:

1) Has anyone gotten the Flight Support System to work?  I found version 0.8 on my old harddrive and through some hacking I got it work on Google Chrome but I still get a javascript error message when I try to click on the airport screen.

2) I cannot seem to get outer terrain scenery to work.  I set the generate_outer_megatiles in my flt3.cfg file and started a new flight.  I then exited, removed that from flt3.cfg and added use_loose_gtls.   I downloaded PDX international but I don't see it on the outer terrain map.

3) Does anyone know of any AI traffic tools to change the AI traffic?   I would love to replace the not so good looking AI arrow models with a better one.

Hi.

 

Nice to see the old sim hasn't quite died off yet.

I can't help with your first question...

For the second, the outer megatiles are only for the terrain. I'd have thought airports would show up anyway, unless... It's a stupid question but when you installed FU3, did you choose a full installation with all the outer terrain? Or... (my memory is slipping) are you flying from the SFO region. I think you may have to use the Seattle region for OT airports but like I said, neurons aren't firing as well as they once did.

For the third, there's a brilliant AI upgrade by Ansgar, Juoko and Jon Point: ai_package_v1_00.zip in the library here.

 

Best regards,

Dave

Dave, thanks for the info!
