Not sure how you are getting the models to show at all neo4316, I cannot get any to show up unless I move the AI folder into the community folder as a standalone addon. That done many liveries show up in parking spots but the live traffic is hit and miss. The very first flight it spawned was a British Airways flight and it did not load the correct livery, it loaded a default Asobo one.
I dont think any system that tries to use the generic models for live traffic will ever succeed. There seems to be an inherent limitation on how many flights it can load with correct liveries.
I don’t agree that the liveries on these generic models are better than the A320 ones anyway to be honest. Many are backwards on the fuselage and the forward doors cover some of the airline lettering. At least on the A320 models the logos are the correct way around once you are close enough and are intact too with letters correctly displayed across the forward doors.
We dont need 4K and 8K textures for AI, its not necessary for aircraft that we see at a distance so I continue to believe that the A320 mod is the best we can get at the moment until FSLTL is released.
yes, I posted to that developer and he added abiout a dozen airlines that I requested. I tried to get him to make the most common planes flying atm.
I don’t use it for AI, since AI is stupid in thias game. What I did was install only the core custon ai file. I left out his file that gets rid of default generic aircraft. I did that because , like you noticed, it caused a problem.
Basically, planes that he didn’t have a livery for won’t show up. By keeping the default aircraft file, the static aircraft are a mix of liveries and non livery. But when a plane , live traffic plane, is of an airliner he doesn’t have liveris for, it atleast shows , but without livery.
For example:
Alaskan airline, no livery, default will show.
Luftansa will show because he has it.
I wish I knew how tto add liveries. I have tried but they didn’t work. Wish that guy could be contacted and make more.
Actually, I tried your method(we pmed remember?). It didn’t work good for me. I saw propellar planes sometimes that were airliners. A few had no livery, that was in the package.
Too be honest, I would love to find a way to just have more liveries with the mod I have. 42 liverieas atm. With all the legal mumbo jumbo going on, I am not counting on those other developers to reach the public with their “alledged” mods anytime soon. If they do so within the next 3 months I will eat my pilots hat. There seem to be less transparency going on.
The planes can’t even land correctly. 75% of time they do go arounds for no reason. Sometimes it is because there was a plane slow to leave the runway. Once a plane does a go around, it rarely EVER lands. I had dozens of planes buzzing the airport that was a go around that refused to land, even when no activity on runways.
I dont know why you saw propeller planes when the mod does nothing more than alter the generic twin jet to the A320 twin jet instead. And any with no livery should load one of the default AI liveries that exist within the A320 folder, there are three of them specifically for AI.
I dont doubt what you say but I think its because AI and live traffic is a bit of a mess in the sim and what works for some doesnt for others. Today for example somebody sent me a file of AI planes that he had working in his sim but with quite a few issues with it suppressing flights with no matching liveries in his case whereas I could not get it to work at all.
I’ve got and use the mod you are refering to. It was made by NIMMIO and updated on several occasions. On the last update it counted with 40 liveries.
A pity there are no further updates.
I’ve tried but I don’t have the knowledge to do so.
Yes, looking at your folders that is the same mod I was sent yesterday. I could not get the sim to show any of the aircraft though with that folder structure.
[FLTSIM.0]
title = “Airbus A320 Neo American” ; Important must equal for work with user traffic livery!
texture = “AAL”
icao_airline = “AAL” ; Set to airline ICAO from https://www.planespotters.net/
atc_airline = “AMERICAN” ; Set to real callsign from https://www.planespotters.net/
atc_flight_number = “” ; Must be empty
atc_id = “” ; Must be empty
atc_id_enable = 0 ; Must be zero
isAirTraffic = 1 ; Must be one
isUserSelectable = 0 ; Must be zero
This livery show only with any trafic AI/GEN/USER but not show in you aircraft liveries.
Well, I can.. but the thing is that mod is behaving really weird that I don’t know how to solve. Basically, if you have a live traffic with an available livery from that mod, the traffic spawns with the livery and everything’s good. But if the sim is trying to spawn a live traffic that doesn’t have the livery from the mod, it doesn’t spawn at all.
I would love to have the file even though it is not working correctly. I wouldn’t mind having 380’s or 330’s moving around. It sure beats the A320 all over the place.
