Hi Vivian Well, I found out two things. 1. The WAIT entry doesn't work in the Aircraft Flightplan xml, and 2. I still don't have the foggiest idea how to find your new AIShip files.
After searching flightgear.org and wiki.flightgear.org, and finally Googleing "data/AI/FlightPlans/PA_PA-Victoria.xml" all I have come up with for the xml file is: [FlightGear-devel] Weekly CVS Changelog Summary:FlightGear Data /var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9/data/AI/FlightPlans/PA_PA-Victoria.xml and /var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9/data/AI/PAVictoria_demo.xml. No reference on what precedes the "/var/...". I gather this must be common knowledge in the FlightGear community, but I'm so new here it doesn't mean anything yet. PLEASE HELP! :) Cheers, Neil > Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:37:30 -0000 > From: "Vivian Meazza" > > Neil Smith > > The WAIT entry in the flight plan looks like this: > > <wpt> > > <name>WAIT</name> > > <wait-time-sec>1800</wait-time-sec> > > </wpt> > > and should be placed immediately after the waypoint at which you want the > AIShip to pause.
