TDS perpetual problem

[spilok]

What can I do to get back the full wings of my TDS 737's, 757's, 787's for P3d? Something happened a year ago or so, perhaps with a Microsoft update, where when I open a TDS plane, my wings are half...not whole! I've searched my registry to see if any TDS entry can be deleted so I could start over again, but can find nothing. I've tried various fixes that are unbelievably confusing to perform, and I can't get it done to any satisfaction.
Please tell me what I can do so that I can download a TDS plane and have it be complete.

Someone out there can help me. Please let me know.

Thank you,

Stan

HI, What version of P3D do you have? You mention Microsoft - do you mean FSX?

Is it all the TDS aircraft or just some? If only some, can you possibly give an example of those which are good and those with the problem?

Thank you.

Yes. All TDS planes are affected by the half wing problem. I think I probably could correct it if I knew what I could delete in my Registry. There is something in there that TDS is connected to. I have searched but have been unsuccessful. This happened after I tried to clean up all my unused aircraft in P3d (version 5.4). I probably erased something that I shouldn't have. I've tried the very consuming advice on how to restore the wings but I've been unsuccessful.

What can I delete in my Registry (safely) that would eliminate any traces of TDS so I can download a VIRGIN 737-800 from TDS and have it be WHOLE?

I wouldn't do anything like that. That might cause all kinds of issues.
I would do one small thing at a time.
Try moving all the TDS planes in P3D into a Temp folder (for easy re-installation). Make sure you have no TDS planes in your Airplanes folder.

Then I would restart your PC and start P3D. See if everything looks normal. See if any other aircraft have display issues. If all looks good. Close P3D again.

Then move one TDS aircraft back into the Airplanes folder. Start up P3D and see how it displays.

I will certainly try that particular ORDER you recommend but I may have tried that in the past. I'll do it again and see if I didn't do it correctly. Thank you for being involved in trying to help me with this problem.

I followed your instructions perfectly; however, the TDS jet (800) comes back with half wings. There's got to be something in the registry which controls that. I appreciate your help though.
Thanks,

You should follow the instructions at the top of the aircraft.cfg file.

The following is from a TDS 737 for FSX, but they will be similar for P3D.
So the top of your aircraft.cfg file should look something like this:

// WARNING NEVER TAKE OFF "FREEWARE_(C)_TDS_16AUG2013" from title= -------------------------
// If you do those , wings will be gone and other unexpected things will happen. |
// Title must be under 127 character since FSX will cause error when exceed. |
