Guest Ross Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hello, I recently purchased MT3D for use in a tower simulator. I noticed that there is no aircraft.cfg in the C172 folder. Does the package not come with a C172 model, or did I not install something correctly? Thanks. -Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 This folder is a placeholder for soundai references only. The package does not come with a C172 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ross Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is there a reason why it doesn't come with a C172? It seems odd to me that an AI aircraft package that includes GA does not have a C172. Was it left out because it's based on an FSX product, and FSX has a default C172? If so, it sure seems like the P3D version should include a C172 because P3D does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Making an Ai aircraft model in GMAX takes between 200 and 400 hours of work. The sales numbers of any P3D addon do not justify such an investment if it is not needed for FSX too. For FSX a Cessna model is somewhere on the list to improve the frame rate. Since most users of P3D do also have FSX installed, it is easy for them to copy the additional aircraft folders over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ross Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Makes sense, thanks for the response. I'm using P3D for a commercial ATC training simulator so I cannot use FSX content. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere to fill out the GA models. I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have for commercially-licensed GA aircraft models. Thanks again. -Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm not aware of any GA plane that can be used for AI traffic but the stock ones and those I built myself. So this argument increases the priority of a C172 for MyTraffic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
