I have noticed that in some commercial airport
packages there is moving ground traffic around the
airport and airport aprons.I use AFCAD and
EZscenery when creating new airports and would like
to know if anyone has created moving ground 'ai'
traffic. If so, how is it done and are there any
tutorials on the subject?

Thanks

Hmm, not that I know of, Google it.

Ivor,

I'm guessing there are 2 possibilities:

Create animated scenery, which is beyond the capabilities of EZScenery, Afcad or myself..

I am reasonably certain that in order to have animated ground scenery you have to either use ground AI traffic that can not fly or use a program like GMAX to create animated ground traffic.
I MUST CAUTION THAT IF HAVE NEVER USED A PROGRAM LIKE GMAX BEFORE TO GO BUY SEVERAL LOG HAIR WIGS BEFORE TRYING IT  ;D

Thanks for your replies, I will investigate further and let you know how I get on.

A further question on this subject.

AI aircraft land at an airport and taxi off the runway and to the gate presumably as directed by ATC with no input, as if on autopilot when on the ground, following the AFCAD taxiway links. How does this work, is it built in to the config of the aircraft?
If this feature were accessable then it would be possible to program AI ground vehicles.

Thanks
