Required-aircraft

Postby jtprophet » Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:57 pm

Hey I am trying to just for kicks a CRJ-900 for a originally assigned CRJ-700 for the following example of a flight below; in the traffic file where are the "required-aircraft" codes for each airplane pulled from so that I can give the 900 the right code, as you can see I have tried CR-9 but I'm not sure if that is right or not.

Thank-you
John

Hi John, the "required aircraft" is used to match the route and the parking space. You shouldn't change that. I think what you want is the "model" path to point to the AI aircraft you want to use. In your case if it doesn't have a representative mode! In the AI folder you would have to create one.

We do not have a CR9, not even a CR7 in AI models.

From what I can see in AAL traffic file, flights marked as operated by CR7s are actually flown using/showing the CR2 AI model. (Line 2 vs Line 6 in the code below)

As rightly indicated "required-aircraft" is just the (common) key between Aircraft tables and flight tables in a traffic file to simplify flights and models association. see http://wiki.flightgear.org/Interactive_traffic

Thank-you I appreciate the response; would you have time to have a look at a groundnet file? I created a gate A2 that is in Charlotte Delta accomodates this Terminal mostly and I have created startup, and pushback route for the 717 to taxi but the problem is instead of pushing back backwards following the route I gave it in taxidraw it goes forward and does a 180 then connects to the route.

If this is not the right place to ask of this please let me know and I will go to the proper forum.

Thank-you.
