Lockheed L1011 TriStar
AI Model for FS2002 & FS2004 ATC
by Dee Waldron, September 2004
Update #1
***************************************
This model was built with FSDS version 2.24, primarily for use as an AI model in FS2002 and FS2004's ATC traffic. It's simple, low polygon design plus 3 lower resolution LOD models make it ideal for AI traffic use.
General Notes:
This is another one of my "community project" models.
This model continues to be in development and I'll make more updates to it as I get reports from people who use it.
The texture is a basic master, 8-bit, 1024x1024 bitmaps. Chrome reflections, and lightmap for night lighting are activated. User is welcome to repaint the model in any livery(s) desired. Uploads of repainted models are also welcome. No prior permission is required.
The lightmap texture (_L) included with this archive is a simple placeholder file. User must build their own lightmap file for end use.
Flight dynamics are based on Sam Chin's FS2k FDE for the L1011. It will need some tweeking to work well in FS2004. If anyone does do a successful FS2004 FDE for this model, please send it to me.

Update #1
The main model was modified to a smaller polygon count and 3 lower resolution "LOD" models were added.
Installation
Unzip the archive directly into your flight simulator's Aircraft folder. It will automatically be setup as a regular, flyable model. To include the model in your ATC traffic, you need to use utilities such as Lee Swordy's "Traffic Tools". This is a freeware utility available at most major flight sim websites.
