There are now two ways to create AIModel objects.  One is via a scenario XML 
file which is read at startup, and the other is by using another module to 
cause the AIManager to create the objects.  The older method of defining 
objects in the preferences.xml or *-set.xml files no longer works.

For an example of a scenario file see data/Data/AI/demo_scenario.xml

One of the things you can define in an entry is n, which will 
be used by the AIManager to create that same object every n seconds.  This 
isn't implemented yet, but it will be soon.  

As far as ground traffic goes, the AI objects don't know where the ground is, 
but I may have to add this feature (like David Luff's AITraffic airplanes do) 
to make ground operations more realistic.

No plans yet.  The current AIModel config files reside in data/Data/AI and 
data/Data/AI/FlightPlans.

Not yey, but it's one of the goals.
I would like to be able to share customised Airports with others  and be
able to fly around other peoples custom scenery & airports. Are there
plans to put AI scenarios and flight plans in the scenery folders. We
could then download each others airports complete with traffic.
A big problem here is that scheduled flights could span multiple scenery 
directories, so putting one scenario file into one scenery directory is 
too limited. In the end there *must* be a way to tie scenarios to a (set 
of) scenery tile(s).

[Flightgear-devel] Looped AI Flight Plans

2004-05-29 Thread Mat Churchill
Hi All,

Is it possible to loop an AI flight plan to create endless AI air and
ground traffic ?

I would like to be able to share customised Airports with others  and be
able to fly around other peoples custom scenery & airports. Are there
plans to put AI scenarios and flight plans in the scenery folders. We
could then download each others airports complete with traffic.
