FSX USS Macon (ZRS-5) AI

USS Macon (ZRS-5) brings the famous rigid airship to life in FSX with an animated model suited to missions, scheduled AI traffic, and multiplayer, plus a lighter non-animated variant optimized for AI Carriers operations. Movement requires water under the hull, delivering believable carrier-style maneuvering and presence.

USS Macon (ZRS-5) AI. The Macon AI's consist of a fully animated version suitable for flying both in a mission scenario and as a scheduled AI, and multiplayer use as well, and a non-animated version suitable for use with the "AI Carriers" program by Lamont Clark (AICARR2.ZIP). As with any AI carrier, there must be water under the hull for it to move. These AI's have about half the polys and drawcalls as the full version of the Macon.
