NZ GA AI Missing Texture

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby SeanTK » Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:12 pm

I was flying around Dunedin in FSX and noticed an all black (missing texture) aircraft. One of the AI packages I am using is the New Zealand General Aviation AI "redux" package at Flightsim.com, and I identified it from this package.

The aircraft in question was a Cessna 421C, registration ZK-STV. I looked in the original zip file and noticed that the texture is missing from the original package as well.

Any help?

Sean the original aircraft.cfg was bogged up as I recall.
Does yours have
[fltsim.3]
title=AI Cessna 421C Ard ZK-STV
sim=AI Cessna 421C
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=ZK-STV
kb_checklists=
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type=421C
ui_variation="ZK-STV"
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=STV
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=
atc_parking_codes=
atc_parking_types=GATE
description=AI Cessna 402B by Henry Tomkiewicz

If yes: STV is actually a 402.
Quickest fix is to cut + paste that entry as
[fltsim.4] into the AI C402 aircraft.dfg (at the end)
The STV texture is there.

You could go the whiole hog and rename the title as a 402, decompile the traffic file, and rename the a/c there too.
Then it would show up as a 402 not 421.
