I want to know if its possible to convert say POSKY aircraft into flyable AI.
Cheers
Bigflyer

P.S does anyone know were i can get a AI concorde from?

I would not suggest you use POSKY as AI. The models are very very detailed, they would make a FPS nightmare. Why do you think AI planes are low poly models?

[bigflyersmallbyer]

Oh ok thanks 4 dat umm...so is it possible  to make em?

[mobisone]

  YES! it is possible
i have taken Meljets 777's and turned then into AI
and
Eric Cantu's 737's  and 727's

you just need to make an AI flightplan that points to the jets you want to use.
it helps to learn Lee sworthy's>?  traffic tools tutorial that comes with his tools for making AI flightplans.

oh ok kl thankz guyz.

[Hurock]

Seriously, it's not the thing to do... The impact on FPS is important.

[mobisone]

  BAH!! you can get away with allowing 2 or 3 present with out a serious hit in FPS.    i KNOW...

once I put a lot of flyable aicraft as AI, and trust me, you wouldn't like to have the nightmare I had!

oh, and for the AI Concorde, you could try the one at http://www.flightsim.co.nz/ . Just go to AIS-AI section and there's it.

its can be done more simple like that all.. just take the PAI things there is a tool to choose the planes for each one!.. for a 8800gtx/s it isnt a problem you will get your 50-60FPS even so (i tried at my friends PC .. Asus EN8800GTX HDTP.. at lax at 100% AI only with flyables done he got 65 frames (but locked!)

PAI (Project AI) are made-for-AI aircraft that are generally 2,000 - 3,500 polygons for the entire aircraft ..... not a lot of refinement or detail.  His mention of using Posky aircraft means he wants to use HIGHLY refined and detailed aircraft, in the 200,000 - 300,000 polygon range.  And that WILL eat up system resources if he puts more than two or three into the display.

it would take forever to load

AI Aardvark, maybe?

Not true at all, i have several flyable aircraft as AI and the load time does not bog down.
i have a few Meljets  and Eric Cantu's 737's and 727's as AI i can go up to 45 to 50% traffic load and not get any FPS lag.

in the video i made Move Along cargo you will see several Northern Air cargo 727's lined up on the apron and there was no hit in FPS going by them

cheap and dirty trick open one set or more of AI BGL files and replace the aircraft the files call on to use.
example:
aircraft text file/ AC#6,200,"iFDG MD11 McDonnell Douglas Western Airlines"
Flightplans text file/AC#6,N1767A

from aircraft file itself :
[fltsim.0]
title=>>>>iFDG MD11 McDonnell Douglas Western Airlines
and
atc_id=>>>>N1767A

create a flightplan or use an exsisting one and reedit some destinations you want to see the plane show at.

I use flyable aircraft all the time with Ultimate Traffic for FSX, really doesn't affect the FPS, and FSX loads just fine.
All my Frontier aircraft I downloaded as flyable, now they are both, all parked at DIA - Concourse A., The United aircraft the same way, and I've got Southwest, Lufthansa, British Airways, Alaska Air, Hawaian Air etc. and they are all flyable.
Get a traffic builder like Ultimate Traffic and have fun building your AI traffic.
