making aircrafts flyable!

[amaru]

hi all,

I would love flying the flights of projectai that are downloaded from the official files library, but they seem to not function properly!! for example, the embraer jets do not fly til they reach their maximum altitude, and the boeing 777s do not leave the ground at all, instead their nose is raised and the tail is digged inside the ground!

as a solution, would it be possible if i copy the aircraft.cfg file of the original 777 that do function properly to the unflyable 777s in order to make them fly? if not, what is the correct solution?

with many thanks!

I would have to ask why you want to do this? The PAI aircraft are specially designed with basic visual models to work as AI Traffic. There are proper flyable versions of most of these aircraft posted here at Simviation.

1- i can't always find the downloads i want!
2- i want my aircraft to be identical to the visual air traffic.
3- by doing this, i have a wide variety of selection of the aircraft i want to fly.

I'm not sure about this as I no longer have any of the PAI aircraft. If they're not listed on the selection menu you might need to edit the AIR file with AirEd. I forget exactly where it's posted but you should find it easily with a site search. Open the AIR file with AirEd & change the Aircraft Type from 2 to 0. I can't say how it will fly as these were never intended as flyable aircraft. You could try what you suggested by using an Aircraft.cfg from a flyable version of the aircraft. This would need modifying so it doesn't conflict with the original. I really don't think it's worth the bother myself.

I'm with Hagar on that one...

Hi,

Can you not fix it by the  Rudder ? Turn the wheel untill the aircraft can take off.
