Ha ha indeed - posting here in the FSX forum is a force of habit! I shall now change that...:p

Hi all, Have recently made the change to P3D and am thinking that I've made the right decision! However, upon testing out the Nemeth Aw109 I have hit a snag...I retracted the landing gear after takeoff then switched to outside view only to find the gear still down. This was about 30 minutes into the flight. I then viewed the landing gear handle and it was up. I tried to move it to the down position but all that happened was a quick bounce up and down of the handle and a few quick bursts of the associated handle sound. The landing gear lights remained all green. So - please help! Apart from that the 109 is a great ship!! Thanks

Hi all, Have been wanting an S-76 for a while and was pleased to discover that Nemeth Designs does one. So I have the aircraft installed and running and it's ultimately not that bad - but there are a few problems. The first of these is that - even when the battery switch is off - the battery drains to the point when you come back after shutting down the aircraft won't start because the battery is too low. Also of note is that the aux power unit doesn't affect the battery at all (it won't charge it). The second problem is that the interior views show the VIP cabin config but the exterior views show just a standard passenger version. It would be great to have these problems fixed so let me know of any possible solutions! Kind regards

No worries - thanks for your help all. Will settle with a different paint for now but will try advice above if required. Cheers :)

Indeed - the only thing's that look to be a problem is the fact that one of the textures doesn't show the contents in the icon menu (the others show the contents) which leads me to think that perhaps it's corrupt. Secondly - the thumbnail doesn't display the contents either (which the others do). Yes I have the helicopter and yes it has the ec130 air file and yes was using the model=sa version. Did you take a look at the cfg addition that goes with the new repaint?? If so let me know if you think anything should be different. Apart from that - and I checked the whole cfg entry - it's hard to think why it doesn't work. Let me know some other potential solutions!! Thanks

Hi all, Am near getting the ND Ec130 ready for flying - last step is to install some repaints. However, when I try to install this - https://edrm-repaints.com/aircraft.php?id=ec130 - repaint I get nothing in the FSX aircraft select menu. Have tried playing around with the aircraft.cfg file but still can't get it to work. Of note is that a few of the files within the texture file are un-openable and don't display textures like the other paints. The thumbnail is a jpeg but it says that it can't be opened - strange. Please let me know a solution!

No problems. Install seems ok but my guess would be the altered interior is part of the Flight 1 install. Thanks for your advice - will leave this as solved. Very best

Ok so I don't have a Texture.d folder and the ec130_i06_c.dds file I have only has the interior for the grey seats and plastic flooring. I may have made a silly mistake...does the Flight1 instrumentation come with the singular EC130 download or do you have to have the Flight 1 instruments purchased separately? In addition, clearly you have the files mentioned above, so why don't I?? The textures I have are just numbered although I have textures a and x and then textures (x) and another finishing with a letter in the float version. Let me know your thoughts! Edit: I have textures 1-7 and textures a and x in the no floats version and textures 4 and 8 in the floats version Edit 2: Here's a link to the Nemeth EC130 site - says Flight 1 is a separate purchase. If you look at the interior with the Flight 1 products however it shows carpet and tan leather seats. So I assume this is an upgrade you get if you go to Flight 1. I may do this in the future although would prefer to stick with the original panel. What would be great would be if someone could send me the interior textures with the carpet and tan leather seats. Thanks again!

Indeed I too thought that this would be a solution - however. The aircraft in the screenshot is actually the one I've been using and - like all the others - it doesn't have carpet and leather. The only other thing I can think of is that when you have Flight 1 integration (G500 and GPS) you get the leather and carpet. Would be strange though, especially as most of the aircraft are VIP transport. Any further suggestions appreciated!

Hi all, Have been flying the Nemeth EC130 and have been wanting to change the config of the cabin. Here's an example https://www.google.com/search?biw=1920&bih=967&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=QxjNXbM8ueLPuw-s9bFo&q=ec130+fsx&oq=ec130+fsx&gs_l=img.3...12622.12622..12919...0.0..0.221.221.2-1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.kBTLCH-Oz3o&ved=0ahUKEwjz6dH7q-nlAhU58XMBHax6DA0Q4dUDCAY&uact=5#imgrc=q0gq6ZIlcnxg-M: The only floor cover in the Nemeth versions is the rubber circle. In the link above the EC130 has carpet and tan leather seats - which is what I'm wanting. So, could someone please suggest a way to change the carpet and seat style?? Have googled for repaints and from the small amount I found the cabin is the same as the default Nemeth ones. Thanks!!

Very nice!! I have since found other aircraft to use but thanks for posting!! :cool:

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. Will try out Wim's idea of lowering the setting - I'm almost certain it won't be my mouse as the cursor moves. Will get back with some more updates. Thanks

Hi all, Recently did a 2.5 hour flight in Carenado's Embraer Phenom 300. After the flight and once landed, the click spots in the virtual cockpit started to work only intermittently. They started working again but only for about 20 seconds then they stopped again. Hopefully this doesn't happen again BUT if it does can anyone recommend any solutions?? Kind regards

Thanks so much for all your suggestions guys. I've decided to settle with what I've got now and not worry about adding objects until I can get Scenery Shortcut. Hopefully Abacus sorts out their website soon! Thanks

Ok thanks for the tips guys. I have the SDK file on my computer - CRJ pilot I had to download the bglcomp.exe from the Prepared website - there wasn't one included with my version of FSX (steam). Both BGL Analyze and ModelConverterX look slightly above my paygrade so am unsure if they will help create a bgl from xml. F16 Jockey, how do I run the bglcomp.exe from a command prompt window? I get to opening the command prompt window but don't know where to go from there. Tips on Google proved unhelpful. From what I can remember using scenery shortcut was a breeze, somehow I need to get back to this level of simplicity! I assume there is nothing else out there that will create a BGL from an XML? Update: I am currently in the process of following the first link in CRJ Pilot's post - the FSX SDK. Hopefully this will be a more useful version!

Hi all, So I finally have BglComp.exe on my computer. Have created an xml scenery file and looking to convert it to bgl. When I drag and drop the xml file to bglcomp.exe all that happens is a quick flash of command prompt then nothing else - no bgl file is created. Any relevant suggestions please!! Thanks

Ok so I tried running the bglcomp from the desktop, same thing happens, just a quick flash of command prompt then no file output. I've tried running from Command Prompt but get to opening it then don't know where to go. Will post a new thread in regards to this issue. Thanks

Ok great thanks, I now have bglcomp.exe. Have created some scenery but when I put the xml file over the bglcomp.exe I see a code box appear quickly and something does happen but I can't find the bgl file. Where would I find that? I haven't moved the bglcomp.exe from the original c/programmefiles/lockeedmartin location. Also I searched the entire computer for the bgl and it returns nothing.

Yes I have seen this option before and have explored it. In the path you mentioned above, there is no BGLComp.exe file, all there is is a bglcomp.xmr (sorry may have the file extension wrong - not on my main system). Any ideas why I don't have the BGLCOMP.exe file? I am running FSX SE.

Hi all, Thanks to the very helpful users I have been able to get the object placer present in FSX. The final hurdle it seems however is to be able to convert the files from XML to BGL so that they will show in the sim. Abacus's website is down and even when it was working there was a fault - it wouldn't let me add anything to my cart. I have searched through a number of pages to try and find an alternative to scenery shortcut - to no avail. Please let me know of any alternatives to scenery shortcut and any other way of converting the XML files to BGL. Thanks Very best

Will start a new thread in regards to the file conversion. Nothing out there it seems that will convert from XML to BGl other than scenery shortcut.

Hey guys, So now the Abacus site is down completely - I can't find any way to convert the files to BGL. Any ideas for an alternative to scenery shortcut? Needing to convert the files to BGL so I can see them in the sim, as I'm sure you're aware! Thanks

Thanks for your help guys! Pleased to say I am now seeing the tools menu appear with the object placer. Only problem is Abacus won't let me download scenery shortcut - must be a problem with their site as it won't let me add anything to the shopping cart. Is there any other way to convert the xml file to a bgl??

Ok so just to clarify, when I go into Appdata etc from users there is an FSX and Microsoft folder but the dll.xml in there is very small and there is no mention of the object placer tool. I do have the mission creation folder and the dll.xml in that folder has a portion for the object placer. I have added in what the steam page told me to add to the folder path which is accurate and I have changed the disabled section to false, yet still no tools menu or any sign of the object placer. I find it strange that even after enabling hidden files that there is no dll.xml in the appdata folder under users. On my previous computer that was the magic trick, I edited the dll file to false and there it was. Let me know your thoughts!

A big thanks for the tips re the AW109 - avionics don't quit 5-10 minutes into the flight which is very pleasing. Got it all working like a fine machine. Have just had a quick look re the object placer, will post in that thread any questions which by the look of it I may have. Big thanks to all that have replied!
