Cessna140usedtobe Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Windows 10 and FSX I downloaded the Zenith CH701 file for FSX and installed it according to the Readme and the information in the write up by Andrew Heard at this link https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?2063 When I select CHANGE to select the new aircraft, it does not show on the page with the other available aircraft. If I choose to view the aircraft by manufacturer - in this case Zenith Aircraft - the manufacturer's name is listed. When I select it and choose the DETAILS button in the window I get the rotating view of the aircraft and the information about the CH701 BUT there is no way to select it so I can fly it. Can someone tell m e what is missing that prevents this aircraft from being selectable? Thanks, Dale Gloer PS. I have downloaded and installed other aircraft successfully.

mrzippy Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Do you have your aircraft selection page set up like this one? Attention to the things circled in red. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Also did you rename the panel as directed: The Zenith A/C company manufacture a range of kit built light A/C. The CH 701 is a highly regarded STOL 2 seat kit A/C. This model is also suitable for FSX. To use in FSX you need to delete the standard panel cfg file and rename the supplied panel_fsx.cfg file to panel.cfg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cessna140usedtobe Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yes, my panel is set up correctly and yes, as I said I followed the readme instructions. I found the solution. By accident, after I got the details display by selecting the manufacturer in the filters at the top of the page, I pressed OK twice and I was able to fly the airplane. After some investigation of other aircraft files I saw that all the Thumbnails were in jpg format but the CH701 kit only had it as a bmp. I reformatted the thumbnail to a jpg and now it appears in the selection window. Dale Gloer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
