AI Approach Speeds

Featured Replies

I appologize for the duplicate. I posted this on another forum and someone told me that AI questions were handled here. Anyway...I've noticed that my AI aircraft have neither smoke nor any other effects. Is there some place you turn on these attributes. I have the applicable sections in the aircraft.cfg file but no effects.Also, is there a way to slow down AI aircraft on approach, go-around, and takeoff. At some of the busiest airports the AI aircraft look like bees coming and going - very rapid. (I know you can change cruise and taxi speeds but I'm interested in approach speeds)Confucious say, "Man who fly upside down have crack up."

There is currently no known way to turn on any effects with AI aircraft, except lights (which happens already).I haven't noticed that the approach speeds are unacceptably high, but you can reduce the power of the engines in the aircraft.cfg file and they will fly slower; I assume this will affect the approach speeds as well. Another thing to try would be to lower the stall speeds (in the same location as the cruise speed).Hope this helps,-- Tom GibsonCalifornia Classic Propliners: http://www.calclassic.com/Cal Classic Alco Page: http://www.calclassic.com/alco/Freeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.com/ San Diego Model RR Museum: http://www.sdmodelrailroadm.com/Drop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Thanks for the response Tom. I'll try that. Maybe its my system or maybe I needed to add more gates so the aircraft would stay on the ground. Its just that they seemed to be "buzzing" around the airport going in circles and at a high rate of speed.Confucious say, "Man who fly upside down have crack up."
