Hi,I want want to dirive many airplanes to fly automatically and all
the airplanes' flight information are saved in a file.Stuart gave me
an suggestion that I can use the AI sub-system to define the flights I
want the aircraft to take,but can I save all my flight
information(maybe millions of data of lat,lon and alt) in the
flightplan XML files' waypoint section.And can I set many airplanes
and flightplans in the \data\AI\aircraft_demo.xml,and how can a
airplane know which flightplan responses to him correctly.
Another question,I JUST want to all the airplanes fly automatically
drived by my data.So I don't want to control any aircraft.But I when I
start up the fgfs,I get a aircraft to control by myself.And how can I
view any airplane flight in the FlightGear.Just like play
Counter-Strike(a computer game),the surveillant can see any player he
want to see.
Yes...is the easy answer, there are two ways;
AI-Traffic Manager that I haven't used but gather you specify Airports
and times etc and these are flown rather like a schedule ie multiple
planes, multiple routes.
Scenarios, I have used these. The are more for making objects follow
specific non-airport points on a flight plan. I use one to control two
ferry models going backwards and forwards between the North and South
Islands of New Zealand. You write flight plans in a xml formated database;

Then refer to these flight plans in the scenario file thus;

I hope this helps
