Yellowknife unleased

It's official. Yellowknife CYZF 2010 has just been uploaded to the Avsim and Flightsim libraries and should be available for downloading soon. Hope you like it! :salute: :ernae:
 
So far about 400 between Avsim and Flightsim. And only one reported problem. That's a ratio I can live with. :applause:

Some of my previous large airport sceneries have downloads counts in the thousands, so I expect this one to be the same.
 
Great collaboration guys - well done!
One question, I have downloaded but not yet installed this:
Are the AI planes flyables, but just called up as scenery objects to make them static?
If so, what made you choose not to have "normal" flying AI?
 
Yes, the "static" ai planes at the hangers are flyable but mostly sit on the ground. There are parking spaces at the main terminal for regular ai traffic. I wanted to cut down on the amount of traffic moving around because the scenery is pretty complex as it is.

Hope you enjoy it. :wavey:
 
Here's some normal ai traffic at the main terminal on my setup. Yours will vary depending on which ai traffic, if any, you have installed. I've been using Ultimate Traffic since it came out, but it's no longer supported for FS2004 and the flight plans are way out of date. I may look at replacing it with one of the freeware ai packages that are out there.
 
Hi, Wing_Z!

The airfiles of the planes included are tweaked, so they won't show up in the aircraft selection menu.

The Twin Otters, Electras and HS.748 are dedicated AI models, so flying them wouldn't make any sense.

The Dash7 (Air Tindi and Canadian Forces) textures are the same as I did on Milton's flyable DHC-7, but they are wrapped around an AI model.

Buffalo's C-46 Commandos are done on Mike Stone's model. You'd better take the ones I made for the Guzman Commando.

First Air's Hercules and the Buffalo Canso are also Mike Stone's models, you may copy these textures to the fully functional version the usual way.

The two Buffalo Dakotas are textures by Mike Wilson, added as a whole AI aircraft for your convenience. Copying them to the stock DC-3 makes them flyable as well.

Cheers,
Markus.
 
OK...I didn't plan on flying them myself, I just didn't notice an AFCAD or traffic file in the package, so assumed they somehow are made into static scenery objects.
If that is the case, then I may be tempted to do something about it, as I feel good birds deserve air time ;)
 
The AFCAD file is called Yellowknife_CYZF_V2_AFX_SS-Pete.bgl, whereas the (static) traffic file is Yellowknife_CYZF_Static_Traffic.bgl.

The flightplans consist of weekly departures at around 0900 Zulu (0100 Lima), so no one would actually see those planes taking off.
But I think some fiddling with TrafficTools would get this birdies up and away...
One of the advantages not to use static scenery objects but AI moveable aircraft, isn't it?

Cheers,
Markus.
