nice whirly bird
 
I got it about an hour ago and its invisible  
the flight model loads but no visual model external or internal  

A stealth Apache. Sounds interesting. So where did you get this amazing bird? Is it for FS2002 or FS2004?

Check your planes Model folder make sure there is a valid mdl file here This might be a AI only plane
If you do not see a panel folder in the aircraft folder this is A AI plane and not ment to be flown.

The aircraft would not be selectable or function without a MDL file or a Panel folder. I suspect the problem is with the texture format.

sorry for the delay, had trouble logging in last night.
Its the 2k4 mode from hovercontrol, theres a thread in freeware screenshots  with it  8)

LOL Craig. You guys are so sparing with information. I almost have to apply the Hagar water torture to squeeze the facts out of you.

It would be so much easier for me to help people with problems if I have details on where to download the file. For example:

I'm having problems with the WAH-64 here. http://69.44.154.34/cgi-bin/ifolio/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=File-Downloads/Helicopters&image=AH64_v2.zip&img=&tt=zip It's selectable & flies fine but it's invisible. Any suggestions?

Easy ain't it?

As always, I'm happy to check out any file posted on SimV providing it's not a big download. I don't like helos & wouldn't usually bother with files from other sites but as it's a small file I'll make an exception in this case. If you installed it correctly I suspect the problem is with your system, particularly your video card or drivers. In this case I might not be much help unless it's also invisible for me.

OK. I checked it out. Works as advertised in FS9. Invisible in FS2002. I suspect it's the texture format. I might mess around with it later.

thanks  8), sorry about the details  :-[

LOL No problem. I'm used to it by now. You have no idea how frustrating this can be at times.

Plan A didn't work. I don't have a Plan B at the moment. I might not be able to figure it out. As I mentioned before it works perfectly in FS9.
