I wondered how it would work as an AI. Here's the answer. Southend to Schipol, 0750 GMT.
In fs9, engines start after pushback, so it pushes back with it's steps still down!
Takeoff at EGMC watched from the Bell
En-route at 9500 ft over the North Sea
During the descent into EHAM
Going for the localizer - EHAM in the distance
Turning finals, lowering the gear
Finals to land
Touchdown
Taxying in
Parked
For newcomers, this is how it's done.
After the takeoff which I watched directly, I moved to EHAM and parked looking up the approach on the active (actually, this time I got it wrong as the landing rwy was different from the takeoff!). Set the time to 5-10 mins BEFORE the AI is due to arrive. The idea is that you can watch the AI approaching if you want to.
BUT if you hit Ctrl-Q you open up a window and if you keep hitting Ctrl-W you page through the 'nearby' AI traffic. Eventually if you're lucky (which I was) you get the one you're interested in.
If you hit W, the small window opens up onto the whole screen and you can then just watch your AI for as long as you want. Use your hat switch and you can move all around it as well.
Toggling W takes you back to the main screen with the small window and Ctrl-Q closes it eventually.
Sorry for repeating all this for the folks who know, but there are always newbies around who might appreciate it.
