Hi all,
Im a long time flight simmer who has just added the acceleration pack for FSX and have downloaded the P51_NZTS pack that uses the default acceleration Mustang, i followed the instruction in the readme but it will not show in the Sim... Has anyone else found the same, i got the pack from Flightsim.com
It most definately isnt the first aeroplane ive downloaded and added to FSX but its the first one ive had that hasnt shown up in the aircraft list

Thanks in advance

Hayden

Presumably this is repaint pack? Have you edited the aircraft CFG so the repaints shows up?

Hi Naki, the packs instructions say to copy the model and basic texture file to the dowloaded file and then install in the Sim Objects/aeroplane file, there is a config and modified air file in there so there is more weight on the undercarrige and not 3800hp but the stock 1650hp included. I opened the config file to make sure everything was correct and it was, so thats where im stuck as to why.
The pack was done by ABSimulations and the readme has link to the forums here at the bottom. The pack has all 4 of the TAF squadrons, and being an otago guy i wanted to fly the Otago sqdn Mustang out of Taieri

I have exactly the same problem. I have read the readme countless times and thoroughly checked the cfg etc and still joy. I am running FSX Acceleration SP2 with Windows 7

That would be Adrian Brausch (known as "Brausch") here at NZFF who did that Pack. Drop him a PM as he probably hasnt seen this thread.

Is it the model that is not showing or can you simply not select it from the list? If you get a nice empty airfield I would suggest that the model is not FSX compatible under Accelerator, if you had a bare FSX instal turning off DX10 preview wuold allow it to show.

Its not showing up at all, the model or in the aircraft list.. i have been corresponding with the author of the file so i can fly it..

The model itself is the standard FSX Acceleration P-51 Racer and that the texture packs use a modified air file that adds a little weight, changes suspension on the undercarrige and reduces the hp from 3800 to the standard 1650hp of the merlin.

it has brought to my attention that i made a mistake in my upload of the NZTS Mustangs repaints I uploaded to flightsim.com ( P51_NZTS.zip) , the problem was within the panel and sound folders cfg's where I had accidentlally omitted some data which caused the repaints not to show in the aircraft menu within FSX,..,..in the panel.cfg it read

[fltsim]
alias=P51_Racer

...when it should have read

[fltsim]
alias=P51_Racer/Panel

same as the sound folder the sound.cfg read

[fltsim]
alias=P51_Racer

when it should have read

[fltsim]
alias=P51_Racer/sound

I will upload fix to flightsim.com for everyone else. Thankyou for helping me rectify this oversight and apologise for the ballsup !.


EDIT: HAVE UPLOADED FIX TO FLIGHTSIM.COM...
