C5 Galaxy as a static library object

**Ganter** · July 3rd, 2017, 03:09

Could anyone please point in the direction of a C5 Galaxy as a static aircraft object to pad out some scenery I'm working on.
I've looked around and can't seem to find one.
Many thanks,

Jim

Go to flightsim.com and do a search for Guy Diotte. He has done a very large selection of static aircraft.

I dont know how handy you are with ADEX and making traffic file's, but i prefer using Ai aircraft and placing them as statics rather than using scenery bgl's, they look better and seem easier on frame's, and you have the option of introducing some movement to your scenery when you get some confidence.

The Owls nest is the place to look for Ai, there are a number of dedicted C-5's already out there, maybe with the right unit markings for your scenery, hope this helps.

Guy's work is excellent. Unfortunately he hasn't done a C5.

I'm using ADE to build the airfield (Greenham-Common EGVI, circa 1987) I assumed that a static object bgl would be less heavy on frames than AI.
Others have said you can schedule a flight for an AI at midnight once a week so it just sits at the parking the rest of time looking pretty. This is what I'm trying to achieve so will look into the whole Traffic thing.

What's the easiest to get an initial handle on?

Many thanks to both you chaps.
