Although I've come up with a few ideas how AI traffic should behave, that is, the necessary parameter that need to be included in the flight plans, I don't have any code yet. The idea would be to have a sort-of top level flight plan dispatcher interact with and create AI traffic on the fly, based on range parameters. Adding full dynamic AI traffic is a rather large project, and like Erik and David, I'm very limited in time, so I don't expect this to appear in FlightGear soon.

Suppose if I tried to insert a ship and aircraft, only the first in the order appears. This may be fixed in CVS. Are you using CVS or version 0.9.4? There may be some work needed here. 2) Is there a way to control these objects dynamically when flight is running. Not yet. The FDM for the models supports it, but we don't yet have a flight plan object to contain the course/altitude information for each model. The AIAircraft object has functions like TurnTo() and ClimbTo(), but these remain untested without a suitable scripting or flight plan scheme. I would like to work some more on this but I don't have the time these days. Erik Hofman was doing some work on it too.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] animating Models
Chandrasekhar, Hello fellow west Michigander. If you get any information on how to do this can you send it to me. I am playing with putting a bird into FlightGear. But I am not having any luck.
