DM 1-11 Installation query

Post by speedbird591 »

Although I fly the 1-11 frequently, I only tend to use one or two liveries. Today I decided to use something different and unearthed a problem with my -500s and the -500HKs.

They've been installed using Dave's installer, so I've haven't done any fiddling, but some of the liveries don't show up in the aircraft selection box. I've checked through the aircraft configs and can't see any discrepancies and they're all aliased to the correct panel and sound in the DMFS folder. Yet some aircraft in the same config file show and some don't. The ones that don't show under 'BAC' show under 'Unspecified' and of those some show untextured while others do show the texture yet if I choose an aircraft from the 'Unspecified' section it has no sound and no panel.

I've deleted, re-downloaded and auto-installed the latest -500 zip file (20/01/08) from DM's site but the result is the same.

Would somebody (with FS9) please check whether these textures are showing under BAC in the aircraft selection box so that I can tell if it's a local problem? Bahamasair, Hapag-Lloyd, Germanair, Ryanair, Cyprus Airways, Swissair, Courtline and Monarch. All the other 500s and 510s are fine.

Ian :S

B*gger :( That's what I expected :lol:

Thanks very much for doing that, Garry. Not sure what to try next - my likeliest move is to ignore it and fly the ones that do work!

Ian :lol:

It's OK thanks, Garry. I've found the problem. I'm desperately looking around for somebody to blame but there's only me and the cats here - so it's probably Fudge's fault 8)

I recently downloaded DM's AI 1-11s and the AI folder has got the same aircraft config in it as the main folder. For those textures that I'd listed I hadn't changed the 'title' to differentiate the AI from the full models. So the config titles were duplicated.

Thanks again for your help.

Ian :)
