Problems in the 737 tds

I have a problem with the 737 tds! Please help me! I installed the 737 tds, but appears a black bar in the aircraft. can someone help me?

I seem to remember someing about raydomes causing this problem. Look in the readme file and see if something mentioned about them.

What are raydomes?

I did not find anything in the files that came with it.

Raydomes are blisters on the top and/or bottom of the aircraft that house wifi or other such antennas. This has been discussed before. Try a forum search for tds raydomes or TDs back bar.

Not to pick too many nits (do YOU know what a nit is? :D ), but it's actually RADOME, not raydome. Contraction of radar dome. It's originally a designation of the non-metallic blister, on top or bottom, out on a wing, or on the nose, where the radar system antenna was housed, so the skin of the aircraft, nowadays mostly a metal of some sort, wouldn't attenuate the radar signals. On most fighters, for example, the nose back a ways is the radome, and made of fiberglass or carbon fiber. If you get a chance, tap it with a knuckle, and you'll hear the difference between it and, for example, the fuselage half way back.

Take a look at the Phantom II's, for example. That black painted nose area is all radome, and fiberglass. The entire radar system, except control panels, displays and such, are in there.

Now, they call any non-metallic blister, or even just a small patch of the aircraft's skin, like for a radalt, on the aircraft to allow an antenna to function, but reduce the aerodynamic drag, a radome. Antennae are such a drag, after all :D

Have fun, and good luck with the black bars!

Identifying radomes, what they are for (or cover) and other fun stuff on military aircraft is an informal science, known in the RDAF as Bumpology.

If l can remember correctly, this problem can be caused by either a missing texture or wrongly named texture file.
