How do I...

...Put a VC into a plane that didnt have one? I got the Opensky 747 Shuttle Transport, and now i want to put the original 747 VC into it.

Unless the model is a TRUE FSX model.. you cannot.

FS9 port-overs can't use the 2-model (exterior/interior) format. The VC must be a part of the original model..

Yeah, it is. I downloaded it from the SimV Archives just hours ago.

That doesn't mean it's not a port-over...  There are very few TRUE FSX models out there..

Which model is it.. and I'll tell you if it's true FSX, or an FS9 port-over..

Unfortunatly, it's not a true FSX aircraft.  It's a FS9 that had a thumbnail added. A lot of the uploads to the FSX download are FS9's that were "adapted" to FSX. A lot of them work pretty much the way they were designed, but some have issues, like misaligned smoke effects (the 747 shuttle carriers wingtip and condensation trails are off, for instance), or serious gauges not supported issues..

You have to be cautious, since just because they are downloaded from the FSX section, it not saying it's a true FSX add-on.

Thanks Boikat

[NitroPower]

Thanks Boikat  

I'm double checking it now..


Edit:

Yeah.. it's a port-over..  No VC can be added..

Great... A beautiful Visual, but nothing underneath...

Darn,
I wondered why it dint do that either.  :-/

I found one with the exact same visual, but with the default 747 VC, except the VC is Grey, instead of Brown.  :)
