Project AI

[Boomtown Rat]

I know Project AI creates new Airlines in the AI.  But I'm rather confused over some things.  Like what does it mean it will overwrite textures?  Will it overwrite textures for current planes I can fly (like an Air New Zealand 744)?  

  Also, the Airline packages, do they contain models and textures among the other stuff, or just textures?

Well, most AI packs come with aircraft and textures. I'm not too familiar with PAI, but it shouldn't overwrite. However if they have planes with the same tail number you will get a 767 and a C182 verrry close to each other.

..you also may want to make your sig pic a little smaller!

It will not overwrite any planes you have. It installs its own plane folders and textures...

I didn't think it would, it just didn't go that indepth to what the folders and files contained on the PAI website.

PAI is a great option when it comes to free AI traffic. The PAI installer uses files which end in *.pai to install different aircrafts along with their textures. Depending on your airline, the number of AI aircrafts installed will vary. About the overwriting part, it willl not overwrite the flyable planes in any way, but will overwrite any textures that are on a current plane. Let's take an Air Canada A321 with the Old Colors. Say you install the next version of Air Canada from PAI, the old colors will be overwritten with the new texture files which will thereby give you updated fleet colors.

Thanks.  BTW, some of the planes are in their wrong positions (may be due to different scenery), anyway to change this?  I should get AFCADs that match the scenery, correct?

[flyboy 28]

Not really.

"I should get AFCADs that match the scenery, correct?"

Yes.

Get it or make the matching AF2 file by editing the active AF2 file in AFCAD2. Position the aircraft using spot-plane-view and drag the parking spots to the red X (indicating aircraft position)

(S)ave or (S)ave As when the AF2 file is completed.

ScanAFD is a FREE program which will tell if there are more than one currently active AF2 file for a given location

P.S. Thanks for riminding us how scarey some PAI messages are; PAI Texture Installer will work without overwriting any presently installed
