AI Helicopter Traffic

I installed an AI Bell 47 Helicopter in one of my sceneries this afternoon. Man! That little thing sure looks good flying around.:jump: What really amazed me was that the helicopter uses a right hand traffic pattern while the airplanes use a left hand traffic pattern.:mixedsmi:

Well that would be accurate, we are supposed to avoid the fixed wing traffic pattern, but are both your AI 47 and others on VFR or IFR flightplans? Many times the flight dynamics for AI lead them to perform better when assigned to IFR plans only.

if you get the flight 1 helicopter ai program you will be over the moon, it can use all the helos you have on your system, you can create landing spots and flight plans and approach angles.

Watching them approach then hover then turn then land adds another dimension
 
Victory103: Right now I just have the one helicopter and it's set up for VFR.

Jeansy: Watching it actually land like a helicopter would be just too cool. I'm presently using a modification of a S300 that I downloaded from Hovercontrol.

yep, [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Heli Traffic at Flight1 is a very cool addon. I have some veitnam scenery i did and have 25 hueys going between firebases, it's really neat to watch.[/FONT]
 
+1 recommendation for AI HeliTraffic (although I wish Flight1 could also figure out a way to get them to operate from AI ships!)
 
Another vote for Heli Traffic here too.

My only gripe is that it scans your sim-objects folder each time you start FS, which can take a while if you've got a lot of add-ons installed. Would be better if it saved the list, and only updated it on the users demand.

Works great with sci-fi stuff too. :wiggle:
