I downloaded the little patch they put out last time ..... but no good and when i try one of the first series it crashes back to desk top ....WTH , ya pays ya money , and all you get is wings , again.
Im sure they will sort it out ...soon.

What a P-I-T-A...Unless I know I can trust the installer, I install it to C:\Downloads\Area0. I also have folders named Area1 and Area2. That way I can check the file structure of the base aircraft, and put any patches/updates in Area1 to check their structure, before adding them into the base plane in Area0.
When all looks right, I copy/paste the assembled model into FS10\Sim Objects\Airplanes, or Classic FS\Aircraft or wherever it belongs.

Hmm , a P-I-T-A , never heard it, I'm very sure you can trust , just simply getting weird , should be a simple install .

Install was easy , and quick. Aircraft show up in the menu complete ....its just when they get to the sim part ... just wings. I may delete both packs , reinstall , apply the patch and see what happens.
Havent seen anything over on JF that mentions it yet.

On deleting , defrag the HD your FS is on as well before reinstall .

The fix for the same problem on the 10/40 is a 5mb patch from JF .... But as that guy said on FB ... dont work.
Its all good , JF will sort it .

Unfortunately there are reports of some really annoying bugs using it. I'd be interested on feedback from NZFF users on it.

It is strange having the disappearing wing or fuselage texture, I doubt very much if its the XP OS , the earlier 10-40 was fixed , I have a fresh reinstall of FSX a month back.

Just reading more on the JF facebook page ..... seems its only xp users that are affected (at this point) , but they are working on it . I would have thought , having had this before with the 10/40 that JF would have have looked at a "what if" option and done the work around on the new release. The posted specs clearly include my system , in fact i exceed them in some areas ....oh well.
But i guess not every XP rig is the same , but sill a bit frustrating.

I wonder if its loading time that have done it , having so many aircraft installed , simply it runs out off memory, this machine is a XP and have FSX installed, never thought off testing on this system.

Are you sure Ian ? ..... i may be wrong , but im sure i read on their forum /facebook that it was a stand alone .

Hey Marty. Can you confirm if the 10-40 model is indeed required? I dont see any mention either on their site of it being an "expansion" pack?

It is required , the 10-40 series installed... I'm sure the Just Flight team will re word the promotion.

[deeknow]

OK, cheers Ian.

I have tried to install to 10-40 on this XP system and no joy , were as the 50s to 70s did install but with out any model nor cockpit , only wings and black textures , I think this may give the guys a solution .
