I'm trying to think of a reason for the VC not showing, if you've exported the model properly which as you've managed the aircraft I'm guessing you have, then I'm guessing it's something to do with the set up. If you want me to try hacking it into an aircraft I'll send you a PM with my e-mail address.
thks, that would be brillient. i'll send over the A300B2 tester i'm using to try to get it to work :S

Hiya everyone,

Just a little news update on this, Not much has happened apart from sorting out the panel and sound set. We've also scrapped the A300B4F (due to someone else beating us to it with the same basic source files :-( ) but we've back tracked our B2 source into a B1 instead. Unforgently, although we've spent close to two months on the VC, we can't get it to work what ever we try :-( so unforgently, these WON'T have a VC :-(

However, we feel its at the stage where we're happy to start releasing them to the wider world. First one out will be our Beluga :) Just some shots of em as they are at present:

we did try to shorten it but i can't change as i've lost the source file (along with my entire hard drive thanks to windows update) :(

Only just got FSX running again on the new one :(

Also lost my A310s :(

true true. That's why i've got the complied MDLs, they were on my memory stick. Just not the gmax files :( So techniqcally, its halfway between a B1 and a B2 by the sounds of it which ain't to good to be honest :-(

might scrap teh B1 then :'(

Maybe no one will notice :lol:

If you do scrap it someone will only paint one of the others as a B1 so back to square one. :brick:

I suggest you put it out but just say what it is

Leave the punters to choose if they want that. ;-)

same skins also?

please be careful when claiming credit for work that was done elsewhere. what you have done is simply exported from Gmax and took the credit

Hi Gaffer,

I think it was made quite clear from the opening post that it was using GMAX source files from Tom Ruth. At least your link will enable Jon to re-download the original source files which he lost.

Regards

John
