mgh Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It helps to give us at least some information. For example, what sort of files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 OK, it's a panel and an added FMC (2 different downloads added together) and then added to a TDS 787. I'll give it a try. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxsttcb Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Here is the safest way I know. Easily reversed: Create a folder on your desktop and give it a name that corresponds with your download. Unzip the download to that folder. Generally there will be a "readme.txt" file that includes comprehensive instructions on how/what/where the files go. In this case it is a panel. It is only a 2D setup, so, if your bird has a VC, you'll have to copy the [VcockpitXX] sections from the original panel.cfg to the new panel.cfg. I ALWAYS rename new panel folders to reflect the download ie: panel.tds_787_p_p When that panel folder is placed inside an aircraft folder, open the aircraft.cfg and put the new name in the panel= Line ie: panel=tds_787_p_p If you don't like it delete the new folder and return the aircraft.cfg to it's original state. If aircraft.cfg points to a panel folder, that has a name after a period, such as panel.FSX If you place the new name then // in front of the original, ie: panel=tds_787_p_p //FSX You'll know what the original was, in case you want to put it back...Don HAF 932 Adv, PC P&C 950w, ASUS R4E,i7-3820 5.0GHz(MCR320-XP 6 fans wet), GTX 970 FTW 16GB DDR3-2400, 128GB SAMSUNG 830(Win 7 Ult x64), 512GB SAMSUNG 840 Pro(FSX P3D FS9) WD 1TB Black(FS98, CFS2&3, ROF, etc.), WD 2TB Black-(Storage/Backup) Active Sky Next, Rex4 TD/Soft Clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I just tried it. Very strange that it loaded up to about 80% and gave me a crash to desktop/Fatal error and, of course, no error in the Event Log. I might give it another try.
