Arlanda - Kastrup

[johannes_jj]

Hi!
I'm going to share my flight from Stockholm Arlanda to Copenhagen Kastrup with you.
With me in the air was my two friends, David and Fredrik. One of them actually learnt the procedure of landning with the ILS during this flight. :)
I've got a question to, scroll down to the end to see it.
This is the first time I'm posting screenshots, let's see if I get things right...


This is me, at the gate.

This screenshot shows my question.

We were all flying 737:s, but to me all the planes (except mine) appeared to be cessnas. This happens to me everytime we are flying online, not to the others... :/
Send and recieve detailed information is turned on.

Generally, this is caused by your fellow flyers flying a model that you don't have yourself. Thus, it defaults -- sometimes rather oddly -- to something you DO have.

I was flying a helo online and invited others to join me. Someone had a chopper that I haven't downloaded yet, and so it appeared on my screen as a hovering C-17 Globemaster! Quite frightening.

The strange thing is we are all flying default aircrafts. :(

Hey Johannes,

make sure these are set in the Flight Simulator 2002 configuration file ("fs2002.cfg"):

ALLOW_PLANE_MODEL_SEND=1
ALLOW_PLANE_MODEL_RECIEVE=1

You'll probably also want to:

ALLOW_TEXTURE_SEND=1
ALLOW_TEXTURE_RECEIVE=1

Although I havn't flown with others yet, I've been told every other aircraft will show as Cessnas if you don't put those two statements into the configuration file, so I guess this goes for planes shipped out of the box as well.

Kind regards,
Peter Eriksson

PS: Let me know if you guys have room for another pilot next time you fly!
