active AI Aircraft not flying anymore

Hi,

 

How do I decompile and remove aircraft that have been decommissioned, such as the RAAF PC9.

 

thanks Denis

Hello, 

 

My expertise is in AI boats, not planes but in that there has been no reply yet, take this for what it's worth. 

 

In your SimObjects\Airplanes, find the pertinent model. It may have a number of liveries.  Open the aircraft.cfg with notepad.

 

You will see entries like this example:

[fltsim.1]
title=Commercial Airliner Paint4
sim=Commercial_Airliner
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=4
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=I-HKSN
atc_airline=Orbit
atc_flight_number=
ui_manufacturer="ACME"
ui_type="Commercial Jet"
ui_variation="Orbit Airlines"
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby="Lockheed Martin"
description="Commercial Airliner"

 

Make a backup or copy of the aircraft.cfg, then delete the entire pertinent [fltsim.n] entry and renumber any remaining so there are no missing numbers. 

That should do it.  If the sim crashes, revert to your saved original .cfg. 

 

If that aircraft is pilotable, you will no longer have that option.

 

Cheers
