Hey Folks,
So, I was wondering if a project like this would be interesting for FlightGear. I was already pleasantly surprised when I discovered AI airplanes, at a local Dutch airport (EHGG) when demonstrating FlightGear to a friend last week, so I assume that FlightGear can now generate generic trafiic at any given airport? But, is AI traffic currently limited to one airport, or can AI planes already fly between airports.
It is supported for airports that have ATC (sorry no AI traffic at EHLE). But indeed Eelde has ATC support and therefore can handle ATC traffic at the moment.
I have followed an AI Cessna once but I lost in when it literally flew through a mountain, so I guess it is distance limited.
So my main question are: What would be needed to generate and handle AI traffic based on predetermined routes? I think it would be incredably cool to have a feature like this and would like to invest some time in this.
Robin Peel already has air corridors (airways) data for X-Plane which probably could be used by FlightGear as well. I think it is DAFIF(T) based so we can generate them ourselves also.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'd be able to use any of the project AI material, because their licence is pretty strictly freeware, and thus not compatible with the GPL.
It might be worth a shot to convince them to use GPL (or less restrictive) instead.
