AI Traffic Vertical speed

Postby Johnathon » Wed Feb 19, 2003 4:15 pm

Is there a w ay to alter the vertcal speed of the AI planes as they climb way to quick eg. between 4000 to 6000ft per minute which is unrealistic as real aircraft don't climb that quick  ;D

No and yes

Air speed is hard coded into the FS02 prog

Lee Swordy says that AI aircraft have been programmed in error to fly at TAS and as they cannot achieve their target speeds fly at full throttle all the time.

If you try to follow eg an AI 737 in another 737 (line up and take off with it) you'll see what he means

But you can mess about with the fde by changing some numbers in the aircraft.cfg file (the autopilot section). Trouble is if you don't know what you're doing you can make the fde unstable.

But hey, look what AI has added to realism anyway - so there's a small bug - so what??
