Just got round to buying this, ran a scan and it returned none of the AI i have?

 

My AI is manually managed, i dont use WOAI, AIG OCI and UT2. I have P3Dv4.5 and the models used for my sim are all FSPX, TFS, AIA, AIG, HTAI, FAIB and UTT.

All of these live in the P3Dv4 simobjects folder by default where P3D UI aircraft are along with PMDG and Aerosoft A32X.

 

I did catch a thread on here suggesting a user with this case would have to move all AI to another location with an XML method in order for this application to capture and load the AI installed? Is this right?

Hi Brad,

Yes.. if you follow the instructions on that thread it should work. If you run into trouble just let me know and I will help you.

Okay, pretty much on my way but i have a few concerns about things like the FAIB models and P3Dv4/v5 model conversions issued by AIG where alot of these models now have their own LUA files and effects files and those not registering with the planes they would work with normally if they were based in the simobjects folder?

 

Also ORBX PrecipitFX is another thing that usually scans and updates each CFG so i wonder if that will also now break/corrupt that process?

 

Edit: I accepted the prompt to enable the new XML for the AI models move to the D drive but im assuming the reason the AI have all vanished in the sim is probably to do with some form of missing XML entry not mentioned below?

 

Like many pretty new to creating links and all that jazz....

AIGM-OCI uses the. XML method and lua / effects work fine.

ORBX precipx should remain un affected too.

Be aware @Kaiii3 implemented a detection of AILRP to clear effects conflicts between AIGM -OCI and AILRP.

Since you are doing everything manually, you will need to remove the FAIB effects for: Strobes, beacons and navigation lights.

Post the. Xml you created here so I can check it..

This is all i have entered in regards to XMLs

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
    <AddOn.Name>AI Aircraft</AddOn.Name>
    <AddOn.Description>My AI Setup</AddOn.Description>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>SimObjects</Category>
        <Path>D:\Prepar3D Addons\AI Aircraft</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
 </SimBase.Document>

 

P3Dv4 lives on the C Drive

AI was moved over to my D Drive yesterday, associated LUAs and effects also still currently live in the folders they were made to live in within P3D.

This looks ok, did AILRP detected the models? I am currently outside the house.. maybe we can schedule a remote session for tomorrow so I check everything, etc.?

It hasnt found the models no...just tried a scan now and its only returned stuff from Flytampa.

 

Im going to keep working on it and see if i cant work it out but yeah remote could be a good option
