Another milestone for me and this project.
Finally learned how to program AI versions of the swift, still need to do more LOD, but this is just a test.

Can't seem to get the various paint versions to show up, only get the white one.
Followed the tutorial to the letter (I think).  and here is a sample of the Aircraft file.

AC#1,1350,"HD - 1 Swift (Civil in white)"
AC#2,1350,"HD - 1 Swift (Military Radar Runner) Paint1"
AC#3,1350,"HD - 1 Swift (Civil in Black) Paint2"
AC#4,1350,"HD - 1 Swift (Snow Bird - Canadian Military Aerobatic Display Team) Paint3"

and the flight plan file

AC#10,C-GWWW,10%,4,VFR,09:05:10,09:21:34,80,R,0000,CYOW,10:00:12,10:29:36,90,R,0000,CYKZ

So any one know what the problem is?

copy/paste the aircraft folders that you want to use to your desktop.

rename EACH folder AI-(aircraft name)


open each .AIR file using AirEd (http://hsors.pagesperso-orange.fr/fsairfile.html  -- left side of the screen at the top) and look for [int32] 105 Aircraft Type=1   Change the 1 to 2 This will cause it to become AI.

close each window (saving if asked).

Move all AI-(aircraft name) folders to your FS2004/Aircraft folder....... or FSX/SIM OBJECTS/AIRPLANES folder.


.... you will need to adjust the Flight plan information  (aircraft file) to point to your new AI craft.



Try your flight again with the AI present

No need to go thru those steps. In fact it will cause problems.

sorry. I forgot that if you do it the way that I said, then you have to change the Title= line in the config file as well.   ....  again sorry, and disregard my rambling.

Hi Dave3cu
Thanks for your help.
