INCOMPLETE FILES BEING POSTED

The latest files that appear to only have thumbnails installed by danny garnier are not complete in fsx. no texture repairs no sound repairs no gauge repairs. So my question is why dont these planes get tested before posting ? some dont even have vc moreless gauges . With FS
and all the quality downloads availibly why does sim v even consider
low quality non repaired aircraft with the exeption of thumbnails , at which we all can pretty much place ourselves , to be posted as fsx repaired planes. After all the time the origianal designer and the repairs done by myself , nor-cal members ,and all others who seem to show great interest in working on and sharing the hard earned artwork that takes very much time to produce , having someone who claims a repair and posting it next to the hard work that we all commit to for just the pleasure of sharing it with all is just sad to see .I personally
nor will nor-cal contribute any more files until quality control has resolved this issue . Sad to see my favorite download site slip like this.
Still find sim v the best just needs tuning

Hi,

Maybe you can give an specific example. I tried out the latest Staggerwing, the Do225 and the AS350. All seemed fine with useable cockpits, etc.

Like some of your own maybe there are some teething problems that need fixing?
But like I say the ones I tested seemed fine.

Edit: I am removing the Staggerwing as it sinks in water. Anyone know how to fix that? I've emailed the uploader - maybe he can fix. It is probably a simple aircraft.cfg edit ...  :-/

Unless you know how to build a plane, you may not understand some of the difficulties in building a VC. The VC is actually part of the model itself, not something that is added later.

Like I say - can you tell me which one? Generally we do test files if there could be a reason to suspect it may be a problem . Many are not posted or removed if problems are found.

I've been looking at these files & all the Danny Garnier uploads I've tested so far have VC's with working gauges. He simply seems to be identifying FS9 a/c that work in FSX and adding thumbs. He doesn't claim to be making mods or repaints.

I did remove the Staggerwing when it was reported it wouldn't land in water. I found that to be true & I am awaiting a fix.
Thanks for your great uploads too BTW! :)
