I have tried everything, changing the sim file etc....
i have copied others i have converted but alas still no appearance.... bit of a bugger to be honest...
i thought it was me messing up the ttools side, but i get other a/c to appear no problem!!

Hmm..

I don't have the freeware Alpha Jag loaded anymore so the only thing I can suggest is that you check your cfg entries and check em again just to make sure that they reflect what you're putting in Ttools. I've made this cock-up a few times before and it's taken me ages to sort out what ended up to be.. finger trouble :roll:

Keep at it and let us know how you get on ;-)

One of the hardest to spot is a stray space at the beginning or end of a vital filename.the name looks OK but......

I've had that before stopping models or paints reading.

Funny when spotted it's usually obvious....but not before....if you follow. :brick:

Basically I'm suggesting to check out the simple things first

Which echos what Dave is suggesting

Hi Neil..

Well.. I can't see anything obvious from that entry. Do you actually fly this model yourself or is it specifically for AI?? I usually cheat a bit with my AI in that I duplicate the model and rename the title and UI Manufacturer to reflect it's AI. It doubles the aircraft in some cases but is handy for keeping them separate. My system can't handle full versions with panels so I make AI versions which also allows me to convert the AI textures to DXT3 and keep the good stuff for the aircraft I fly. None of this however, would make any difference to what is posted above. As long as your Ttools entry reads AC#1,400,"Jag-GR1" (as an example).. it should be working mate

Clutching at straws a bit here but would the hyphen make any difference?? Been so long since I've fiddled, I can't remember now :roll: Try renaming the title to title=Jag GR1 and likewise the line in Ttools. This probably won't work but I'm running out of ideas :think:

Cheers Dave

i have duplicated the whole file, for the same reasons as you pretty much....
i dont like flying the a/c as i thinks its poorly outdated, and im praying :prayer: :prayer: that some one will release a lovely model of this under modelled baby!

however....i will have another bash.....
i dont want this to defeat me, but hey....!!


again many thanks

Neil
