Custom AI

[TennShadow]

I was wondering if anyone has created custom AI aircraft of their VA for flightsim? I've only seen one VA do this and I thought that was a really neat idea. Their AI followed their schedules.

I wonder how hard it would be to make this happen?

It's actually surprisingly easy actually! For a model of how to do them, you could have a look at Alpha India Group. AIG. It actually makes alot of sense just adding times and airports

we have the possabilaty at TNTv on avsim are all models and stuff but i think most of us just fly online and then the ai traffic isn't seen

If you are replicating a real world airline, it is pretty easy, as most of the main AI makers have done all the hard work for you, and you just need to download them and install them. But if you are a fictional VA, then you will need to download the paintkits for all the AI models that are the same as the aircraft in your fleet, and paint them in your livery, then create the schedules for them. You will need to learn how that is done, you will also need a compiler for them. So it is not as easy as palmairva said.

You dont need to use ai aircraft. Normal aircraft worked for me

Problem with normal aircraft versus ai aircraft, is that normal aircraft have more poly's thus require more space and use a lot of FPS to render. AI are specifically made for AI and dont have a huge poly count and are friendlier to FPS. Not everyone has a super computer that can render normal aircraft as AI.

Thanks for the info. What do you use for the schedule creation?

Because I replicate the operations of Malaysia Airlines, WOAI have them, and project AI have them, and all payware addons for AI have Malaysia Airlines. So I didn't have to create them myself.
