BWEP AI Heli install unclear
« on: February 06, 2018, 04:30:14 AM »
In the BWEP AI Traffic file download there is a directory with the heli AI. The readme says:

"NOTE:  YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED FSADDON'S TONGASS FJORDS THAT INCLUDES THE AIRCRAFT: AI_Rotorcraft_Bell_206L_TF. YOU ALSO NEED THE BWEP REPAINTS BY KLAUS TROEPPNER."

Of course I've installed the Tongass Fjords but the repaints? Which repaints? For all the helis? Or just the 206? And how are these repaints to be installed?

Thanks!

All the BWEP repaints, fixed wing and Bell 206. Just like you install any repaint. Follow the directions in the individual repaint downloads.

Thanks, but there doesn't seem to be any instructions in the download (see screenshot below).

And which texture will the AI use? The default, or this one "texture. N2062MM"?

Thanks again!

Hi Priam,
     You should "add" the texture folder ""texture. N2062MM" to the folder mentioned above, "AI_Rotorcraft_Bell_206L_TF", which is added to your sim during the Tongass Fjords X install.  Then open the "aircraft.cfg" file for the AI_Rotorcraft_Bell_206L_TF, and add the new variation to it.  The provided aircraft.cfg file most likely has the proper entries for you to copy/paste to yours.   ???  ;)   8)

Edit:  The texture N2062MM goes on the Bell 206B version, not the Longranger!!  Have a nice day.

Well, to continue confusion ... :o

There is an update of the "BWEP AI Traffic" dated 01.04.2018 in "Download and Installation Table":
http://return.mistymoorings.com/bwep/index.php#Maintenance

Unpacking this "BWEP_AI_Files.zip" file you'll find in there "BWEP_Heli_Traffic.zip"
- in there you find a versions of "Traffic_Heli_BWEP.bgl" dated 2016
- in the folder \BWEP_Heli_Traffic you'll see another versions of "Traffic_Heli_BWEP.bgl" dated 2018.

I opened both traffic versions in "AI Flightplanner". In the aircraft list there is no texture file "N2062MM" shown as needed but
- N2063MM
- N2064MM

Conclusion:
If you only have the texture "N2062MM" installed in "AI_Rotorcraft_Bell_206L_TFX" the "AI Flightplanner" will show missing texures (i.e. N2063MM and N2064MM) and in your scenery no BWEP AI helicopter will be displayed as AI traffic.
Many greetings

Okay, that does add to the confusion. ;)

And you're right, verifying what you said regarding that Traffic file by using AI Flight Planner those aircraft come up in *red*, which I assume means "not found".

In that aircraft.cfg file as part of the N2062MM paint, under section [fltsim.13] is the N2062MM definition. Could I add a section .14 and .15 that correspond to the missing helis in that Traffic file? Would changing the atc_id from N2062MM to each of N2063MM and n2064MM respectively, work? (keeping the texture=N2062MM for all three)

Thanks!

Best way is to add the necessary textures. I cannot attach them because the zip file is bigger than 300kb (what is allowed)
These are former RTMM designed textures but I cannot find them anymore an any of the RTMM pages.

     The N2063MM and N2064MM helis are longrangers, whereas the N2062MM is a 206B model.   ;)
