Indonesia
Version: 1.0
For FS2004 / FS9 only
Initial Release Date: February 2007
Project Managers: Barry Taylor and Stewart Pearson
This freeware AI package, produced by Military AI Works in cooperation with World of AI, is part 3 of 13 separate packages that covers all Lockheed Hercules C-130 users in Asia.
Next up is the Indonesian Air Force. Package includes repaints for each individual Herk currently in service (as best we could tell!!)
Package also contains custom AFCADS for Halim International and Abdulrachman Saleh, along with callsigns and flightplans.
Please note the package also includes custom smoke effect for the C-130E
Due to lack of information and no satellite imagery, the afcad for WIAS, is purely fictional and is created entirely to facilitate AI Traffic.

3. Units Included in this Package
32nd Squadron, 2nd Wing, Malang
31st Squadron, 1st Wing, Jakarta
Step 1) Install this package
2a) Read the installer page regarding installation of this file: http://www.world-of-ai.com/installer.html
2b) Install the package in accordance with the World of AI Installer instructions
NOTE: If a un-install is desired at a later date, only the aircraft and flightplans will be removed. All scenery files, including AFCADs, will need to be removed manually.
Step 2) Remove duplicate AFCAD files
Open your “Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery/scenery” folder and remove any previously installed AFCAD’s for the following airports (e.g. “AF2_XXXX.bgl,” “AF2_XXXX_DEFAULT_XX.bgl” or “PAI_AF2_XXXX_DEFAULT.bgl”)
NOTE: LEAVE ALL AFCADS BEGINNING WITH “MAIW” as they were installed with step 1:
WIIH
WIAS
NOTE: Failure to remove these duplicate files may result in problems with AI aircraft parking and operation. It is recommended you move these to a temporary folder instead of deleting them; however, you should not need them again as the AFCADs included in this package are thoroughly researched and highly detailed. If you are using add-on scenery for one of the above airfields, it is recommended you do NOT remove the AFCAD for the add-on scenery, but instead remove the MAIW AFCAD file (e.g. MAIW_XXXX_DEFAULT.bgl) after installation.
Step 3) Install callsign voicepacks
3a) If you don’t have the EditVoicepack 3.1 freeware installed, download it and install it by clicking here.
3b) Run EditVoicepack and import all vcpmod files included in with this installation
3c) Choose “Import” from the “File” menu
3d) Find the folder
“Flight Simulator 9\Military AI Works\Asia\Exotic Alberts Part 1\Indonesia\Voicepack Callsigns - Indonesia”
in the “Look in:” window
3e) Click “open” for each file
INDONESIAN AIR FORCE
3f) Update the Voicepack for FS9 by choosing “Update Voicepack” from the “File” menu--ensure the “Custom/Callsigns” box is checked in the left hand window. (note: the update may take a few minutes—do not attempt to start FS9 until the update is complete. Look for “Ready” in the lower left corner)
3g) When ready press save to keep the modifications
Step 4) Activate MAIW Scenery
Not applicable, no additional scenery was included in this package
That’s it! You’ve successfully installed this package. Your AI traffic files will be automatically updated the next time you run FS9
Problems addressed:
“I’ve installed the package, but there are no Military AI aircraft at the airports”
“When I go to an airport, there are AI planes parked on top of one another”
“I can’t find the aircraft in the aircraft selection menu”
“When the Military AI planes talk to ATC, they use only numbers, not callsigns”
“I’m following the Military AI aircraft, and they won’t come back for touch-and-gos”
Problem: “I’ve installed the package, but there are no Military AI aircraft at the airports”
Potential issue: FS9 AI traffic density set too low
Fix action: In FS9, set the AI traffic density slider to at least 60%.
Problem: “When I go to an airport, there are AI planes parked on top of one another”
Potential issue: Multiple AFCADs active for the same airport
Fix action: Using Windows Explorer, open the folder “Flight Simulator 9/Addon scenery/scenery.” Look for duplicate entries for the following airport identifier:
WIAS
WIIH
Files may be named in several ways. The most common are “AF2_KXXX.bgl,” “AF2_KXXX_DEFAULT_XX.bgl” and “PAI_AF2_DEFAULT.bgl.” Keep the file names starting with MAIW and remove all others with duplicate airport identifiers.
The AFCADS in this package are called.
MAIW_WIAS_DEFAULT_SP.BGL
MAIW_WIIH_DEFAULT_SP.BGL
The two excludes are called
WIIH_exclude_SP.BGL
WIIH_exclude_2_SP.BGL
Problem: “I can’t find the aircraft in the aircraft selection menu”
Issue: These are AI aircraft and have been programmed to not show up in the flyable aircraft selection menu
Fix action: If you simply must select these aircraft, use an editing program such as AirEd and change the Aircraft type from “2” to “0”
Problem: “When the Military AI planes talk to ATC, they use only numbers, not callsigns”
Potential issue: Callsign Voicepacks were not installed correctly
Fix action: Run the EditVoicepack software. Look for the following callsigns in the “custom modifications/callsigns” section of the program:
INDONESIAN AIR FORCE
If any of these are missing, choose “File/import” and open the appropriate .vcpmod file in the folder:-
”Flight Simulator 9\Military AI Works\Asia\Exotic Alberts Part 1\Indonesia\Voicepack Callsigns - Indonesia”
Once this is complete, or if all callsigns are present, ensure the “Custom/Callsigns” box is checked in the left hand window and choose “File/Update Voicepack” to install them into FS9 (this may take a few minutes, do not open FS9 until the lower left of the EditVoicepack screen says “Ready.”)
Problem: “I’m following the Military AI aircraft, and they won’t come back for touch-and-gos”
Potential issue: You’re following your AI aircraft
Fix action: Stop following your AI aircraft. For some reason, a watched AI aircraft does not always behave the way it is programmed to. If you wait for the aircraft at the airport, it will arrive on schedule
This package was built by the Military AI Works online community. If you are interested in making Military AI traffic more realistic, visit this site!
Flightplans:
The flightplans are fictional, but have been researched via Internet and message forums.
We have tried to make the plans as “realistic” as possible, but as the Indonesian Air Force does not publish their weekly C-130 flightplans we have had to use our own judgment!
All flightplans were created using Notepad.
Flightplans were installed using Lee Swordy’s TrafficTools freeware traffic compiler.
Callsigns:
The callsigns used in this package are actual callsigns used by these units, based on information obtained in manuals and on internet.
All callsigns were created using the ingenious EditVoicepack freeware. This program is extremely simple and fun to use—if you need a new AI callsign, give it a try!
AFCADs:
All AFCADs were created using Lee Swordy’s AFCAD v2.21. This has got to be one of the finest freeware programs ever created. Want to add some AI parking to your local airport? AFCAD makes it fun!
