Right – there are two issues – do they work right, and do they need a performance boost. We’re trying to keep one unified plane for ‘do they work’, so no new edition. We may SOMEDAY make ‘lightweight’ versions graphically, but first we have to analyze the perf issues and figure out what to do – the speedups might not require a new .acf. That’s on my TODO list for post-VR.

Uh… I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Most of the planes we ship currently (excluding things like gliders & rockets) are already AI flyable, and they will remain so in 11.10.

would you consider providing AI friendly versions of the default aircraft? so that it would at least be possible to have some AI wherever you are flying.. I fear most developers will be very slow to update plus if you don’t own it, you can’t have it as AI.

It’s author set ahead of time, so if an author marks a plane as AI friendly and it’s not, take it up with the author.

It might be a good idea some basic AI validation criteria, sorta similar to WED’s validation checks. At the very least to ensure that the AI is able to fly the plane.

Under the hood, XPWidgets uses the XPLMCreateWindowEx() API, so XPWidget windows will indeed get scaling for free.

I know it will be a long time before the aircraft can follow some real-world procedures or even schedules, but I would love to see them to be able to at least land consistently (right now the 737-800 doesn´t manage to do it even on a 10.000 foot runway) and maybe park in a sane way (not enter a stand from sideways or even through the terminal…).

I think with the limited capabilities the AI has, it should at least get those right.

Not necessarily – we may also find that our aircraft can be dual-purpose, at least for now.
