Bolshie Euroharmony pilots

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1838 Andrew:
I have recently installed the Euroharmony AI fleet and have noticed on recent flights that ATC will call out that Euroharmony xxx you are x above or below your assigned altitude climb or descend to x Euroharmony (AI )acknowledges,but a thirty seconds later ATC repeats the instruction to the offending pilot and so on.Any idea whats going on please?
Cheers Andy

EHM-0361 Karsten:
Hey Andy,

Same thing has happen to me. I think it's the inbuild ATC that creates that. I have heard it with other airlines, so i don't think it has anything to do with the AI package. I haven't heard anything like that since I started using Radar Contact instead.

EHM-1612 Paolo:
Does it always do like that or only at main hubs with many EHM AI?? Maybe under the name Euroharmony xxx are listed all EHM AI planes...but it seems strange :s

EHM-1465 Dominic:
I don't know if this is the answer but I remember seeing an article a while back about how the .air files for FS2002 were quite different from those for FS2004 - you can see for yourself if you use AI aircraft from the big sites like AI Aardvark, they include different flight dynamics for the different versions of FS.

If you watch addon AI traffic at a big airport you'll see some planes bob about on approach and after take-off because their flight model is not very stable so they are always seeking the right altitude which makes them go up and down a lot...

So my point is that EHM AI traffic was originally written for FS2002 and I think the planes' .air files might be FS2002 ones. If so, these might have trouble holding a stable altitude in FS2004 which causes them to rise and sink and therefore ATC keeps picking up their movement and asking them to correct it.

Of course I could be well out here (there are certainly bugs in the FS2004 ATC!) but it might explain what you are describing...

EHM-1838 Andrew:
Thanks guys for your thoughts and help.Dominic your idea about the AI originally being for 2002 and maybe a conflict there seems plausible.I will keep monitoring the situatuion and see how it goes,but will probably have to (sadly)remove the Eurohamony AI.
cheers Andy
