DeHavilland Heron

[Bubblehead]

I downloaded and installed the DeHavilland Heron (PINAIR) along with its numerous textures. When I select the aircraft however (any of the textures) there were ground vehicles all around the aircraft. During take-off all the ground vehicles take off with the aircraft. Weired! How can I get rid of the ground vehicles altogether?

It probably add-on scenery that linked to the aircraft...Read the Read-Me...Usually, things like this can be sent away with the Wing Fold/Tail-hook/ or exit commands...Make sure you read the read-me first

Hi there,

[Bubblehead]

Finally got rid of the ground equipment. Went to the aircraft.cfg file and erased the last two of the texture statements pertaining to ramp and parking. which brings me up to another question:  The panel has no gauges however, in the panel folder was a gauge sub-folder followed by two more sub-folders containing lots of files. Which of the two do I copy to the main gauge folder?

I just downloaded that file to check this for you.

You should move both of the folders,"JH.Heron" and "Sav_Dove_Devon" directly into
the "panel" folder within the "De Havilland Heron  114 Prinair 1" folder.

These two folders contain all the XML gauges and their BMP files. The panel uses gauges
from both folders.

As these are unique to the Heron I recommend you keep them in the Heron panel
folder rather than your main gauge folder, however they can be placed there if
you wish. Do not move any of the files contained in the folders OUT of the folders
or they will not be found by the panel code.

Gypsy:    I've already copied both gauge folders to the aircraft panel and also to the FSX gauge folder but still no joy. I did not copy the files directly like I did in FS9. I will be willing to load the files directly into the aircraft panel folder but I'm hesitant to copy it to the FSX gauge folder since it will be very difficult to determine which belongs to what.

On a different note. I was curious about the two pictures (USS Dewey and the Super Connie). If you were an airdale, what were you doing in a skimmer ship? I was aboard sewer pipes until making WO then went amphibs.

I installed the one with many textures. All had ground equipment around them and I had to press "L" to remove them otherwise they'll be shown taking off with the aircraft. I will remove the two gauge folders from the FSX gauge folder and try it that way.

Hummm...putting bot those folders containg the XML gauges INTACT into the pabnel folder SHOULD
have worked just fine. That's the method I choose to use in FSX...to keep gauges ( cab files, folders, etc )
that are for a specific aircraft in that aircrafts panel folder.

Your panel folder should look like this:



You don't need to have the Gauges.zip file there. That's just where I left
it after I unziped the contents into the panel folder.

As to the "black shoe - brown shoe" thing, I was an ET aboard the Dewey in the
early 60's. Elmo Zumwalt was my skipper. Great times and a wonderful ship!

I then went on the ET "B" school on Treasure Island for a year and then
stayed on there for 3 more years as an instructor. As my shore duty tour
was ending, there was a request for "volunteers" ( ET's ) for a "special program".
No details other than "you will be attending civilian factory schools" ( GREAT, I get
to wear civies ) "you will be flying" ( GREAT again...flight pay, more $$$ ) and
" you will get hazardous duty pay" ( Even MORE money! ). So I volunteered

Wound up going to some schools back in PA then to Oax River to what was then
OASU and later became VX-8 and then VXN-8.
The reason they needed ET's was that the mission involved flying around in 'Nam
transmitting TV from the Connies...one channel for the GI's and another channel
for the Vietnamese. We flew every night and was on the air about 3 hours AIR.
The planes had commercial radio and TV broadcast equipment on board and
since the airdale AT's  were used to only swapping boxes in and out, we ET's
were trained to actually troubleshoot and repair our equipment

I also flew as a crew member on our "radio plane", a Connie equiped with commercial
radio transmitter gear. Every night we'd "go north" over the South China Sea
and precisely the time the NVN station would go off the air, we'd come on. Same freq.
Ran tapes provided by the South Vietnamese government

These same sort of missions are now carried out by the Air National Guard flying
C-130 "Commando Solo" aircraft.

So, thus the seemingly confliting pictures

Got it figured out, Copied the two sub folders to the aircraft panel and got my gauges now. thanks gents.

gypsy:  I kinda thought you were a "twigit" or maybe a CT. I flew on one of them Connies from North Island to Atsugi. Other than participating in "Blindman's Bluff" we spent our time in Nam doing plane guard off North Vietnam.

Take care.
