An idea for a program; Hanger Parking

Ok,

What if there was a program. It locates on the top bar of FS. What it does is creates a 'parked AI plane' (that you are in) at a location you want one at.

1. You go to the location you choose to park your bird. Slew over and perfectly set it up in a spot you want it at, like if its an F22 or F15, you might have it in a large, nice military hanger. If its a classic, like a Skylark or D-18, you might want it at a classic hanger, maybe with some other classics in a collection.

2. Next, turn on the program, click the 'Set Up This Plane Here and Now'. Bing... This aircraft you are in now creates a AI version of your plane (same one) that will be there most all of the time, except for when it needs to fly once a week (to be a AI plane). Something like 1 hour on midnight on Sunday nights or whenever).

Now, you boot up into FS and drive out to the airfield in a car, and go to the hanger of choice, and see your birds... Or out on the tarmac, or in some cool grassy airfields....

Alot easier then making AI codes, lol... park and click, done.

Don Grovestine published a freeware package recently, I think the name is SAAM which
allows you to make a copy of any FS9 AI aircraft and put it at any place as a static bird.
Unfortunately it won't handle FSX aircraft.
 
If you have FSX Deluxe, and have installed the SDK there is a program that comes with that to enable you to do as you describe. Only it adds an extra menu at the end of the FSX toolbar, and then you can go and place objects at airfields to create scenery. Granted it is a little more complex than what you are suggesting. As you have to save the scenery as a mission object, and then add that scenery into your add-on scenery menu. Still it enables you to do what you describe. There is a pretty good tutorial video of how to use it on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAYNHZAEb9I
 
Oh darn. Didn't realize it was you Bill, lol. I am sure you already know about this program then. Ah well. Will help someone else out at least.
