wmkj Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hi guys, Good day to all of you. Sorry if the issue that I am about to bring has been discussed. If so kindly redirect me to the post. 1- Recently I installed (to my FSX SP2) a complete aircraft of AirAsia A320. However the aircraft didn't at all appear in the FSX thumbnail list. The installation was made as instructed. Prior to that I did also installed Air France A320 & it worked fine. Any advise? 2- I did also installed a complete airliner aircraft of Posky B777-200 series. Was found that some of the switches in VC mode didn't work i.e Knobs for Altitude, Heading etc. Or was it meant to be that way? And the VC flickers. However the aircraft is flyable. Appreciate in advance for any of your input. Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate in advance for any of your input. Cheers ;) 1) Does the plane appear at all in game? It may be missing a photo for the thumbnail. Also, ensure "show all variations" is checked in the game. 2) A lot of Posky a/c have the eyepoint set too far back. Try this: In virtual cockpit view, move the eyepoint closer by tapping the ctrl + backspace buttons on your keyboard.

wmkj Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hi Kingnorris, Really appreciate your response 1) Does the plane appear at all in game? It may be missing a photo for the thumbnail. Also, ensure "show all variations" is checked in the game. The plane did not appear at all & I have checked the "show all variations" box. The installation was really staright forward i.e. just copy to the respective folder as instructed & was very sure this model was for FSX. I had reinstalled it but to no avail. 2) A lot of Posky a/c have the eyepoint set too far back. Try this: In virtual cockpit view, move the eyepoint closer by tapping the ctrl + backspace buttons on your keyboard. Thanks & I have sorted the VC view. However was still unable to operate few of the panel switches as mentioned before (in VC mode). Again thanks for dropping a note. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 When asking for help with an aircraft or scenery download that you can't make work, it's always a good idea to give the file name of the download (if it's from the File Library) or a link to it if it's from another site. A possible reason for it not showing is the panel might be aliasing an aircraft you may not have in your Sim. A possibility of downloading a 737 that aliases the 737-400 panel.

napamule2 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There is no VC in either sim. There IS a thumbnail in texture, and it 'shows' in FSX. But, this is a 'non-standard' (for lack of a better word) method of installing the same files and same folders to both FS9 and FSX. You install to FS9 and FS9 will only 'see' the (sim.0) info. The alias work (737-400 ). You will only have one 'paint' loading, not two. You install to FSX and FSX will only 'see' the (sim.1) info. The alias work (A321). You will only have one 'paint' loading, not two. I have both FS9 and FSX Accel and loaded this model in both with NO problems or any changes to anything. It DID blow my mind, though (hehe). In FS9 you install to/under 'Aircraft' folder. In FSX you install to/under 'Sim Objects \Airplanes' folder. So if you don't see it in FSX it is due to you installing files/folders into the wrong folder (ie: it has to be installed to/under 'Airplanes' folder. That's it.

mrzippy Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I agree with napamule2 about the way this developer did the download for this aircraft. Just plunking the folder AirAsia QPR A320-216 9M-AFV into my airplanes folder it does show the FSX aircraft with no problem. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

wmkj Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 In FS9 you install to/under 'Aircraft' folder. In FSX you install to/under 'Sim Objects \Airplanes' folder. So if you don't see it in FSX it is due to you installing files/folders into the wrong folder (ie: it has to be installed to/under 'Airplanes' folder. That's it. Chuck B Thanks napamule2. That was what I did exactly to my FSX 'Airplanes' folder. Guess I have to redo the installation. That made me wonder. And.... Thanks mrzippy. It also blow my mind when I looked at your screenshot :cool: Appreciate you guys help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingnorris Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Looks like gauges are missing. Is there a guage.zip file you need to unzip into FSX>Guages?

kingnorris Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Checked the file. There's no installation readme either, so I have no idea. I see it's a TDS model, and I have my personal (negative) opinions about them. Sorry I can't help.

mrzippy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That 787 aircraft is using a 777 cockpit. Download and install completely this file from the File Library. pt_b777-300er_fsx.zip This is a complete 777 aircraft and it has an auto installer that will put all of the necessary files that come with it in the right places. If you don't want the 777 aircraft, you can always delete the aircraft folder later. There is a couple of gauge files that are necessary to show all other 777 panels in this download.
