• 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 everyone,

this is probably the easiest thing to do when making missions, but how on earth do I get an ai aircraft to move from one waypoint to the next. I can place the aircraft but even after I have searched the entire web for a tutorial on how to do this I am at a point of giving this up. So if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very thankful.

thanx,
 
oh, I forgot to mention, the problem I am having is to actually make a waypoint. anyone with the patience to give me a hint?

thanx!
 
There are some threads about AI and waypoints in this forum. In short, you just need to click through the property sections of the aircraft. You can also use assignwaypointactions, it always depends on how the AI should behave.
 
Hi Folks

Dakota -
Take a look at the mission samples supplied with the SDK.

Suggest looking at the Sitka Approach mission
as that's probably the simplest.

It has 1 AI aircraft, and 3 AI vessels.
See -
Code: 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\Mission Samples\The Good Life\Sitka

thanx guys,

thorsten, when you say click through the property sections of the aircraft, what do you actually mean. When I click through the property sections nothing happens (no prompt to enter the waypoints or anything of that sort).

what I did:

1.Press Add --- AI ---Aircraft----Aircreation582SL, then press add.
2. Aicraft is listed in the "Property Sets"
3. If I try to double click on any of the "Property" listings nothing is made editable.
4. I get frustrated!

So, if there is anyone who has a couple of minuites to spare I would be very thankful if he could tell me how to get this right.

thanx in advance,
 
Ok:

- place AI object
- doubleclick AI type and select "airplane"
- double click "AircraftAI"
-> now in th eleft window there's a + before "aircraft1"
- double-click on "aircraft1"
- click on aircraftAI
-double-click on "waypointList"
-> again on the left there's a new +
- double click on it and you get to "WaypointList"
-double-click on "waypoint" and a new window pops up
- create the number of waypoints you need
- OK
- now move/edit the waypoints

The rest can be learned from the SDK. And don't say "how the heck was I supposed to know that?" Some of us had to learn the hard way. ;)
