    That’s such an obvious fake. A taxiing plane with the landing gear removed. A 5-minute Photoshop job. What a shame it made it onto that website.
    And look at all those comments… what a joke! 😡

    Such an obvious fake, eh?

    Well clearly this Chinese news agency has got into the act, then:

    Traffic 2005 does have helicopters, which no other commercial AI add-on of its type does.

    I tend to think that the Traffic 200x aircraft don’t look quite so realistic as those with Project AI or Ultimate Traffic.

    Incidentally, I stumbled across this site:

    recently – not good if you’re on dial-up, mind you!

    PAI may well be the source for your cure.

    If you go here:
    http://www.projectai.com/packages/installer.php
    you’ll find various packages to remove parts of the default FS2004 AI fleet.

    It took me quite a while to learn how to do it with help from a friend. Remember uksceneryman if you do flightplans to a base that hasn’t got lots of parking places already you have to make some (or download and install) AFCAD’s (parking plans) yourself. When I started doing plans I was mystified by how the aircraft just vanished after a few minutes in the sim.

    … but it still isn’t that difficult!

    The readme files for TTools do explain it quite well.

    I really don’t think we should be putting people off trying this.

    Even from your own experience, you did manage to add AI traffic. AFCADs can come later … and that’s not that hard to resolve either, is it?

    Correct.

    Aw c’mon guys, it’s not that bad!

    Go looking for Traffic Tools (TTools.exe) on flightsim.com or avsim.com.

    There are some helpful tutorials about in various places and the TTools help files explain a fair bit.

    If you start off with something simple (e.g. a Cessna 208 flight from two airports in close proximity) and then work up, you’ll get the hang of it – lots of us have!!

    Lots more help (and to learn) in places like the Project AI forum here:
    http://www.flightsimmer.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3

    You really don’t need a degree to do it (even though I have one!); there’s so much more to FS if you dip your toe in the water …

    Ok thanks just wanna know does it mess up FS traffic 2004 which i have on the pc.

    James

    It won’t mess up FS Traffic 2004, Project AI files will simply add to what’s there.

    I am familiar with those titles, yes. But compared with 1998/99 there are practically no serious combat flight sims in development. 1C Maddox in Russia are a notable exception, but that’s about it.

    For the Second World War, as an example, at one time we were spoilt for choice… EAW, FSDOE, WWIIF etc.. but no more.

    Flight simmers are notoriously picky (as they have an entitlement to be) but this fastidiousness combined with an industry drift to console gaming means that the hayday of combat flight sims is gone and economics are based on low cost (non Western) development or reuse of old engines.

    Aha you meant *combat* flight sims!

    Now that makes a lot more sense … and I tend to agree with you.

    Flight sims are effectively dead commercially. The more you criticise, the less there will be.

    While I have no reason to criticise your other comments, I think this one needs challenging.

    Have you heard of X-Plane? or Flight Simulator 2004? or even the hype already generated by Flight Simulator 2006?

    If that’s ‘dead’ then I’m happy to accept the profits of the sales of these!!

    [QUOTE=’lectra]10th Dec 1988 7 AEF, RAF Newton WP877

    I would have to dig out my 3822 to be 100% sure about the reg but can anyone confirm if it’s still around ? I love to find a photo.[/QUOTE]

    Your Chipmunk was WZ877.

    ‘Military Aircraft Markings 1989’ has the following listed:
    WP984/73
    WZ856/74
    WZ877/75
    … there may be more but those were the ones I found on a quick look.

    WK630, 2 AEF, Hamble, 25th November 1976 – “you have control”.

    For some time after all I flew in was Chipmunks and then I got a flight around the Isle of Wight in a Dragon Rapide. I used to boast that I’d never flown in anything other than a de Havilland … happy days.

    If it is the real jeep

    It *is* the real one.

    No ‘ifs’ needed.

    Yes, but….. its actually a Willys Jeep, and even then not the original Rotabuggy.

    This is a ‘recreation’ built around a standard jeep.

    The Jeep you mention was actually the original Jeep used for the Rotabuggy. I knew the previous owner (who had been at Beaulieu, where they tested it) and for years he’d used the Jeep normally and had people asking why it was fitted with an altimeter!

    In more recent times he decided to recreate the Rotabuggy and so fabricated the empennage.

    So actually it’s not built around a standard Jeep, at all, to be correct.

    Quick cruise around Corsica (using the new France VFR scenery) in the AlphaSim Catalina … lovely!
