Select a Flight problem

Postby Capt.Propwash » Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:05 pm

anyone else see a problem here???  When i click FLY NOW, it will actually be the "Craft" that I have chosen, which in this case is the Bell 206...

I've had that happen where the title line of the aircraft in the CFG has been the same....which I find hard to imagine it would be in this case. :o

in FSX this will NOT be a problem as each texture has its own "thumbnail.jpg" in the texture folder, but FS9 does not use this ...... logic.   any thoughts or ideas?

What happens if you select the Greyhound?

I would try temporarily removing the Greyhound from your FS9\Aircraft folder to see if that fixes it.

If this is the first time you've ever loaded the plane, then I sometimes get an incorrect display.  I just ignore the display and click Fly Now and the correct plane loads just fine.  FS9 bug.  :)

Hope this helps,

if i select the greyhound, it shows the greyhound and when I hit FLY NOW, i get the greyhound.

its just random times that I get the wrong picture for the craft selected. was just wondering if it happens to anyone else, and if anyone knows of a way to make it show the correct craft for the one selected.

I've had it happen a long time ago, and if memory serves, it had something to do with loading a saved flight after the aircraft for that flight was deleted or changed in some way.
