Simviation Forums

Hello, I just downloaded aTDS 737-700 from simviation .The plane came with 4 wing views(left and right wing/left and right engine) views. The views are there but the aircraft is invisible. I have seen this before and can usually correct this by making some minor changes to the camera definitions. Problem is,there are no camera definitions in the aircraft cfg. I have tried to copy and paste the correct camera definition to the aircraft cfg but to no avail. Funny thing is,the shadow of the wings and plane show up on the ground even though the wing is not visible. Hope someone can shed some light on this as I an about to give up on this plane. Thanks,Ed

I found this in the Aircraft.cfg file of the tds B737-700 from that other site we do not like to mention here.

I can confirm that Gary is Correct on the above.

I once experimented with deleting the part of the phraseology and sure enough, NO WING Views, they disappeared and other views didn't work either.

Certain parts of that DON'T DELETE wordolgy have to be left as is, or problemo's will occur !!

Interesting. Thanks for the response. I will have to be careful when altering the cfg. Ed
