• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to make helicopters and boats fly a set pattern in a scenery file? i have placed it here because the problem is when i come to compile the Bgl file. There are errors. I have read that Ai cannot be placed in a scenery file with the Placement tool? is this correct? and if not how can i do this?
 
Hi,

If you want them to fly around you need to make them as AI. In static scenery file they can not be moving.
 
Hi Arno,

Thanks for the reply. If i create the AI and assign way points you cannot use the Blgcomp. To cut a very long story short; i am trying to make some scenery with a single moving helicopter flying the same pattern. How can i do this without using fsx missions?
 
Hi,

Ah, you are using missions. The XML mission file can indeed not be compiled to a static scenery BGL file.

AI can not fly certain waypoints, it goes from airport to airport.

So I think what you want can only be done with missions.
 
Hi,

If you are satisfied with a AI helicopter flying around one of your airports, then you could make a TNG flightplan for it. Make the plan vfr and assign a left or right pattern to the runway and define the altitude.
 
sorry

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in the reply. Let me explain what i am trying to do as it am not sure i have explained this correctly.

I want to create a scenery file that i can share though a VA. The scenery needs to have Ai helicopters and boats in it. However, when i add AI into the scenery via the FSX object placement, it just fails. Please can you explain in very simple detail as i am a newbie at this how i can have scenery that follows a set path with using FSX missions?
 
Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want to have an AI helicopter do some rounds above your airport scenery but make sure others see it as well?
If this is the case, then you cannot use scenery Objects as they will always be static (Arno already said so).
There are ways of doing this through 'missions' but then you would have to make a mission, of course.
If you have only made an airport scenery and perhaps its surroundings and want to add this heli flying around your airport, then the only way I know how to explain this, is when you make AI heli's fly a so called 'pattern' of TNG's (touch and go's). I think you can share your flightplans and AI through VA as well.
Forget about BGLcomp's and so on but use the programs that the fellows here have developed (AIFP, ADE) and use some AI heli's that you can find e.g. on MAIW (Military AI works) or Hovercontrol.
I do not know (because I am not into 'missions') how to do that in missions, but I think it might be possible.
However, in that case you'd better ask this question again in the mission development forum or in simconnect.
