AFS4 Airprox NZAA

A recent small update introduced localised AI - that is, the mobile scenery should now be appropriate to the region. Good idea, but...while I was trying out possible early morning screenies today, this happened.
Fortunately, the Air NZ plane dematerialised before it reached the turnout, so we all lived to tell the tale :rolleyes:
I do wish AFS would make some of their excellent 'hand-made' airports for NZ. None of the majors look right.

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Soo..is the AI real AI, or just tied to the local scenery?

Charl, it is not modelled on actual schedules, like WoAI was. The planes are scenery objects and some airports have some planes flying circuits and bumps. The improvement stops things like Alaskan Airways appearing at Suvarnabhumi, or Ethiopian at Anchorage.

Surely this could be worked into lyrics for a ballad? :lol:
