Chris evan's planes not working in fsx?

Postby Pomeranian » Thu May 18, 2017 4:40 pm

I don't know if this is the right place for this or not, but I couldn't find anywhere else.

I downloaded a few of chris evan's planes today that are supposed to work on p3d and fsx, (a320 easyjet, a319 easyjet, md-11 ups, md-11 fedex) but I ran into issues with all of them,
For the a320 and a319 the VC's only seemed to work when I was facing backwards and would completely disappear when I looked forward.
And with the md-11s' there wasn't any texture it was just white and the VC was just white aswell.
The only mod I have installed is FSUIPC, and I don't know what else could be effecting it.

Hi

I rarely run FSX these days but fired it up. I usually use P3D.

Just tried the MD-11 - both 2 at the top including the UPS and found the VC OK in my FSX.

I also tried the Easyjet A320 in FSX and also found the problem you mention. I tried it in P3D and the VC was fine.
I will see if I can find a solution. It could be that the A320 internal model or some gauge is causing a problem in FSX.

I admit I only use Prepar3D now but previously I always found my updates and mods did work in both FSXA and P3D.

I will look at this and see if I can find a fix for the A320. I am sure that my earlier updates did work (100%) as I used to only use FSX and I have been modifying panels and tweaking aircraft for many years. It must be something I added quite recently which is not compatible which makes certain models not work properly in FSX.
I'll get back

The issue of the no textures was because I had dx10 enabled, that fixed it.
Thanks for responding and working on a fix for the airbus' though, it's appreciated.

Not sure if this is right place but the recent Embraer FedEx plane (at least this one...might be more) works great, loos great from external and flight dynamics side but the cockpit is all black - can see gauges and looking outside of the VC to wings same thing...but any other view from outside is perfect. Thoughts on how to fix? (P3Dv4)

Hi I never upload an aircraft without fully testing and this is what I see in that very aircraft.

Your problem must be the texture.cfg file inside the Texture.fedex folder and how your setup reads such files.

Right click the folder of your aircraft and make sure under Properties \ Security that all files are as this shot

It WILL be something very simple to resolve

Another quick fix option is to copy the contents of the 'textures' folder into the 'Textures.fedex' (etc) folder. (The contents of the 'textures' folder are shared)

Sorry no idea why the textures are missing, but I love the sky in your shot, is that standard P3D V4 or an addon.

Resolved - Generally I use AddIt Pro to install planes and scenery - and mostly it works well. However, it seems in this case something was missed...not sure how - so I manually installed all four Embraer 120 and they work fine. Have always appreciated your efforts towards the sim community! Much appreciated.
