Hi. I asked how to fix the problem of not seeing AC in SimHQ forum yesterday. Thank you very much for your answer. I tweaked FLIGHTENGINE.INI as you told. But I still cannot see the aircrafts in the game. I installed the extactor - extracted FLIGHTENGINE.INI to "flight" folder from the cat file - change [GraphicsSettings] of the ini file-save and exit the ini file. Is there something to do more?

Can you provide more detail on exaxctly what aircraft you see and which ones you do not see?

What video card driver?

Is it the latest driver?

Are there any other issues?

Do other games have issues?

Have you reinstalled the game?

Is it patched up completely?

Hmm which aircraft is it again? Mk2 and I can help you.

If this is the same person who said they could see the weapons and effects, but not the aircraft itself, then you probably do not have all the lod files in the aircraft's folder.

 

Lods are the actual 3D model files. Without them, you will not have a visible aircraft (or weapon, or ship, or ground object). Make sure that there are files with the .lod extension in the "offending" aircraft's folder.

Thanks for your reply. It's the detail as you asked.

 

- Which AC? : BPAo F-14A, F-14A(iaf) and Jaguar I don't see, all others I see.

 

- What video card driver? : FX6800GT with the latest FW71.89 Driver

 

- Are there any other issues? : No other issue with SFP1.

 

- Do other games have issues? : No issue with other games.

 

- Have you reinstalled the game? : I reinstalled SFP1 two weeks ago just after reinstalling Windows XP Pro. SFP1-SP1-SP2-SP3-Addon AC & Weapon Pack

 

- Is it patched up completely? : I updated SFP1 with SP3.1 a few days ago and intalled Jaguar.

Check to make sure there are .lod files in the aircraft folder and make sure the plane in not installed in a sub folder.

This might be a basic observation, but with the F-14 and Jaguar you only need to install to the strike fighters folder, NOT strike fighters/objects/aircraft.

I already checked to make sure there are .lod files in the aircraft folder and the plane in not installed in a sub folder. I have experience to install add-on AC because I have enjoyed MSFS for 7 years.

 

And I forgot something to tell you. "There is no sound either with F-14A and Jaguar." Will it give you another hint? Sorry for annoying you with my problem.

[+Dave 2,318]

Drop me a PM with your email address and lets investigate this further.

[+MK2 12]

mad, how did you install them?

[madzxcvb 0]

Thanks for reply.

I tried to install them with installer first. But this mothod failed to show AC and external view sound. So I tried another method. I install them to a temp folder and I copied the contents of the folder to SFP1 carefully keeping folder structure as BPAo intended. However the second try just failed again.

[+Dave 2,318]

Well then my friend I am not sure how to help you. Hard to troubleshoot from here. Sorry

Thank all of you for concerning my tiny problem for a few days. There will be a way to fix that someday later. I'll see you soon with a enjoyable subject not a teasing problem. Ciao.
