Improved AI and Airport @ KTMB
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2003 11:07 pmThis is a pic of Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (KTMB).
As you can see, I have made changes to this airport and AI.
I was getting really irritated by the fact that the airport had an insignifigant amount of AI going in and out of the airport. So, I used TTools to add at least 20+ more planes to the airport.
However, in order to fit all those planes to an airport with very few parking areas [about 10], I used AFCAD [for FS9] to add in more parking areas. The airport can now contain up to 81 aircraft, but the AI is only using barely half that amount.
The reason why I added such a large number of parking spots is that, in real life, the airport is always crowded with aircraft. As you see in the pic above, that's how the aircrafts are parked [in real life].
I also had to edit the taxiways [over the flight-line] as well, because I wanted each aircraft to park like that in FS9.
I have visited Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport for 5 years straight. I usually go there for Civil Air Patrol meetings [don't ask me about Civil Air Patrol]. But now I quit going to C.A.P. because I'm done there.
Trust me guys. The airport is so crowded in real life, that you can constantly hear either an aircraft take-off or hear a helicopter fly by every 5 minutes or less.
Not only that, there are pilots who own vintage planes in that place. Even retired [or decomissioned] military jets are owned by civilian pilots in the area. There is also a museum in the airport called Wings Over Miami. I used to climb in a B-17 in 1999. That plane is so cramped, you have to watch your head.
