Dave Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 You just downloaded a 3rd party aircraft. So now what do you do with it. Well hopefully this little section will help you. Most basic file structure for installing any of the 3rd Wire sims is C:/Program Files/Thirdwire/xxxxxxx. In this folder there is an Objects folder. Inside that is a folder called Aircraft. This is where you put these fine 3rd party aircraft. Things to make sure before you put it in the Aircraft folder: 1. Do you have winrar or 7zip on your computer so you have no issues unzipping your file? 2. When you unzipped the file, did you make sure there wasn’t a folder hidden in another folder? This can cause your plane not to show up in the section menu. 3. Are there any files in that unzipped folder that need to go into any other folders i.e. a folder with sounds for the aircraft or effect for the aircraft so you have a visible after burner? Make sure you put them in correct folder. (Provided the person who put the files together clearly marked or stated what files goes where.) 4. Finally is the aircraft folder named the same as what is on the data.ini? If not it won’t show up in the selection menu.
column5 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 In all seriousness, CA should look into hiring Mr. T to make videos for this kind of thing. "Fool! Is the aircraft folder named the same as the data.ini? If not, Mr. T will introduce you to his friend PAIN!"
