Re: POS Delta 767-400
Reply #16 - Today at 10:41:52 I am apparently the one who is baffled...everyone keeps speaking of a "Sound=" that needs to be changed...or the value eliminated from it, and a "Texture=" entry that needs to be added...Apparently I am not explaining this well enough despite posting the as extracted Flightsim.0 entry from aircraft.cfg at least twice in here.
Once again, as extracted I do not, I repeat do not have a single value next to the "Sound=" entry in the aircraft.cfg file as extracted directly into the FS9/aircraft file. from the downloaded .zip file.
This is exactly the same regardless of whether I download the file from Simviation or POSKY directly.
With the N843MH aircraft model downloaded directly from POSKY, this is my Aircraft.cfg file entry.

No where in this file entry do I see anything after the Sound= entry.
The texture= entry should remain blank because the texture folder is named simply.....
For the Delta NNC aircraft as extracted again, from the .zip file directly into my FS9/aircraft file, this is how it looks....

Now, unless I am missing something in the context and translation of all of this I think I am doing exactly what everyone is telling me to do...
Please if I am missing something, someone smack me up side the head with a 2x4.
Either way, this aircraft works fine in the flight model. It flies as perfectly in all phases of flight I would expect it too. But it is still a big grey 767. both in the aircraft selection window where is spins to right by its vertical axis...and in the actual sim....while flying it. from the exterior view.
I do appreciate all the help and advice..I just wish I knew what I was missing. Again I am computer literate enough to understand the context file names assignments and values necessary to make an aircraft work in flight sim. I know enough about flying to know what should be happening with over 11000 hours of real flight experience.
I am no dummy in that regard. This airplane as extracted does not work in my computer from the point of the actual Delta Livery paint. But at this point I see no use in belaboring the issue..I certainly do not want to tie everyone else up with this one problem....there are I am sure higher priority issues to contend with...Thanks veyr much everyone..but at this point I am simply going to delete the airplanes and find something else to download to ruffle my feathers with.
