How to install Hawker Siddeley Trident? FSX


Visyxl

Recommended Posts

How do I install the Trident? I've looked at several forums regarding this, but I always end up in 1 place: All textures except for the 2d cockpit are gone and unable to be installed. This is where I install the trident: https://simviation.com/hjg/aircraft2/dmhst/trident.htm 
I've tried the Trident 1, Trident 2, Trident 3, it does not work! Can someone share a file of their aircraft so I can fly it? 
Specifically (if you can) the Trident 2, PLEASE HELP!!!

You'd have got a quicker answer had you posted on the HJG forum .... where you've apparently obtained these files 🙂

 

That's where the expertise associated with the file version you're apparently accessed is located.

 

Only seen this posting now ....  stumbled upon it by accident.

 

Can verify there's nothing wrong with the any of the HJG supplied TRIDENT files.

 

All TRIDENT files (in fact all HJG supplied DMFS files) are FSX portable.

 

Basic FSX installation procedure/s are as follows ....

1.TRIDENT

BASE PACKS FSX INSTALLATION

 

The CFG file named "AIRCRAFT" is exclusively for FS2004 use only.

The CFG file named "AIRCRAFT FSX" is exclusively for FSX use only. 

FS2004 users must use the "AIRCRAFT" named CFG file  .... this CFG is active and ready for FS2004 use by default. 

FSX users must delete the default FS2004 CFG .... then select the "AIRCRAFT FSX" named CFG file and rename it to read "AIRCRAFT".

PLEASE NOTE: The FLTSIM.XX data for each of the 3X included textures is already incorporated into both FS specific AIRCRAFT.CFG versions.

FS2004 users must install this HS121 TRIDENT 1 V1 aircraft base pack inside the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft folder.

FSX users must install this HS121 TRIDENT 1 V1 aircraft base pack inside the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder.
 

2.TRIDENT PANEL/S

FSX INSTALLATION:
 
1. Install the DMFS SHARED FILES folder with its contents (3X sub folders named .... HS121 TRIDENT PANEL, HS121 TRIDENT PANEL VC FSDS3, and HS121 TRIDENT DOCUMENTATION) inside the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder. "DO NOT" separate the HS121 TRIDENT PANEL, HS121 TRIDENT PANEL VC FSDS3, and DOCUMENTATION folders (or their contents) from the DMFS SHARED FILES folder .... install these folders intact and precisely as supplied and instructed.
 
PLEASE NOTE: If one's Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder directory already consists of a DMFS SHARED FILES folder from installation of the original versions of these panels .... then .... open this folder and delete the original HS121 TRIDENT PANEL, HS121 TRIDENT PANEL VC FSDS3, and DOCUMENTATION folders and replace them with these updated folders.

****BE CAREFUL WITH THE FOLLOWING STEPS 2A AND 2B****

2a. Go to your HS121 TRIDENT 1C, HS121 TRIDENT 1E, HS121 TRIDENT 2, HS121 TRIDENT 3, and HS121 TRIDENT SEPER 3B aircraft base pack folders .... open the PANEL folders and their PANEL.CFG files .... and ensure the FLTSIM data appearing in the PANEL.CFG for each HS121 TRIDENT PANEL (only) reads precisely as follows ....

[fltsim]
alias=DMFS Shared Files\HS121 Trident Panel

.... and "SAVE THIS EDIT".
 
2b. Go to your HS121 TRIDENT 1C, HS121 TRIDENT 1E, HS121 TRIDENT 2, HS121 TRIDENT 3, and HS121 TRIDENT SEPER 3B aircraft base pack folders .... open the PANEL VC folders and their PANEL.CFG files .... and ensure the FLTSIM data appearing in PANEL.CFG for each HS121 TRIDENT PANEL VC FSDS3 (only) reads precisely as follows ....

[fltsim]
alias=DMFS Shared Files\HS121 Trident Panel VC FSDS3

.... and "SAVE THIS EDIT".

****BE CAREFUL WITH THE FOLLOWING STEPS 3A AND 3B****

3a. Open the HS121 TRIDENT PANEL folder .... identify the REPLACEMENT FILES FOR FSX folder .... open this folder then select and install its contents (2X files) inside this HS121 TRIDENT PANEL folder only .... and select "OK/YES" to any/all overwrite prompts. 

3b. Open the HS121 TRIDENT PANEL VC FSDS3 folder .... identify the REPLACEMENT FILES FOR FSX VC FSDS3 folder .... open this folder then select and install its contents (2X files) inside the HS121 TRIDENT PANEL VC FSDS3 folder only .... and select "OK/YES" to any/all overwrite prompts. 
 
PLEASE NOTE: "DO NOT" install the content of these REPLACEMENT FILES FOR FSX folders in FS2004.

4. Install the contents of the VC PANEL TEXTURES folder (15 X files) inside the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Texture folder.

5. Install the contents of the SMOKE EFFECTS FSX ONLY folder (3X files) inside the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects folder.


IMPORTANT NOTES:

The content of the DOCUMENTS folder forms the manual for these TRIDENT panels. In FS2004 (only) this manual may be accessed and viewed via the panel Knee Board facility in these panels. PLEASE NOTE: In FSX it is "not possible" to access and view this manual via the panel Knee Board facility (this is true of the original DMFS release also). FSX users are therefore encouraged to print the content of this manual and refer to it accordingly.

 

 

"IF" addition help's required then register and post on the HJG forum and your query will be picked quite promptly there.

 

Understand please it's not really practical for HJG to post support on forums other than its own  .... workloads behind the scenes prevent representatives from being in 2 places at once 😉
