Could someone please look at the following and explain why this simple XML gauge will work perfectly well when CAB'd by itself, but causes every other gauge in a set to completely disappear when the set is CAB'd together?The two little bitmaps are placed in the 640 folder...(A:GPS DRIVES NAV1,bool)I've tried placing the two bitmaps in the root folder also, but the same things happens. When the gauge is CAB'd by itself, it works perfectly. When CAB'd with the rest of the XML gauges in TB20GT.CAB all the gauges in that CAB simply will not display!I've pulled what remains of my hair out for two hours... TIA

HIBeen experimenting today trying to get the default Jet Ranger flying as an AI Heli.By using both the De Havilland Dash 8-100 aircraft.cfg & Model.cfg It will taxi /take-off and land on a conventional runway.THE BIG Question IS Has Any One Got A Heli To Land & Take Of With Out Using The Runway ?Any feed back on the best AI cfg files to use or any other info would be most useful.All The BestDave

Does any kind person know how to implement or trigger sounds using the XML gauge format?I have trawled the net and there appears to be no information at all about this rather essential piece of knowledge.With grateful thanks for any advice,Rob Young

Hi is anybody gonna make the a A321 for fs2002 if so tell me cuz i want to know if someone can make a Air Jamaica livery for it...or is it out and then someone can make a Air Jamaica for itthanks......

Hello!I am currently working on some new panels for the default B737 and when I add my own left, right, side, up, and back views for my custom panels, I still see the default "views" underneath them.Are the default views for the 737 part of the model itself, or is there a way to remove them?Thanks!Scott :-)

Hi all!Does anyone know if the rocket engine type is operable in FS2002. And if so, how to ignite? Are there any additional entries in the airfile to get this working?Thanks,ckfly

Lately i grew a little tired of those airplanes, so i decided to create an intermediate project: MI Lizzy.I published a little info and screens on my homepage. Also updated screens of MI PC 100.Just follow my banner and the links in news.Have FunDoc

Can anyone tell me how to go about opening and editing a .mdl file in FS2K2 so that it will refer to a different texture file please. Can it be done in a similar way to editing a .cfg file?Thanks in advance,Phil

Hi there is a A310 airplane @ flightsim.com i want to Know if someone could repaint this aircraft in to these liveries....this is the name of the airline and under is a pic....Lufthansa http://www.airliners.net/open.file/246190/L/CSAhttp://www.airliners.net/open.file/246131/L/TAROMhttp://www.airliners.net/open.file/214188/L/Air Jamaicahttp://www.airliners.net/open.file/156653/L/http://www.airliners.net/open.file/185460/L/FED EXhttp://www.airliners.net/open.file/239878/L/tell me if so thanks....

Anybody know why , that the A321 gives me better frame rates, that the A320 or A319, and is there anyway to get better frame rates on those two? Thanks Matt

Is there anyone who has these jets for FS98, if anyone could make them please do.......Delta 767-300 NNCAmerican 767-300Amerian 777-200bmi A330United 747-400These jets don't have to have moving parts. If they have photoreal textures or at least realistic textures and a good model.Please email me [email protected] if you created a file or post on the forum.Any jets with moving thrust reversers.

Is there a way to have the default virtual cockpit of the the b777 to go into with the posky 777 or noplease replythanks....

Is this possible in 2002?If so, I sure could use a reference for the .cfg file...Thanks!Andrew

Is there any way to assign an effect for the engine startup smoke? I have read the FX sdk, but found nowhere that answers this. Can it be assigned in the aircraft.cfg file? ThanksAl

Hi folks!I'm just about back after a long hiatus from aircraft modeling. I thought I'd share some new screenshots of the totally scratch rebuilt Boeing 747-400 (probably will be designated the VIII) with you guys...One of the new features to be implemented are the animated flexing wings and the usual FS2002 style eyecandy.http://www.meljet.com/images/744V3-01.jpghttp://www.meljet.com/images/744V3-02.jpghttp://www.meljet.com/images/744V3-03.jpgThe following screenshot compares the un-flexed and flexed wing...http://www.meljet.com/images/744V3-04.jpgWhat do you think?:) Melvin Rafi

Hi i want to know if someone can make a A321 repaint of Air Jamaicathanks....

Can someone make a A310 Air Jamaica for fs2002..thanks

Does anyone have or know of any kind of aircraft file convertor that will make fs2000 justs playable in fs98 or any other way of making that happen?

When making the yokes and the rudder pedals in a VC, how do they get tagged and or animated? Any help would be great. I have figured out the guages and all, now this is my only obstacle.

Can anybody enlighten me about this?From which section of the airfile does FS2k2 calculate the cruise_speed entry in the aircraft.cfg?I was only able to get both stall speeds updated.Thanks in advance!ckfly

Does anyone know how to add tail light and the'splash' light on the side of the jt for FS98 aircraft? Also, does anyone know how to, if possible, get smoke system frm each engine. If any one can help please reply.

How, as some aircraft require, do yu turn 3D mode on in FS98?

Sometimes in FS98 while putting the gear up or down and the flaps up and down they take a very long time to come out. The simulator rate is on normal but they move as if on Very Slow. Is there a a way to fix this without changing the simulator rate?

Right now, I have a 757 performing almost exactly as I want. The N1/N2 ranges are right; temps are reasonable...everything scales correctly with the gauges, and my cruise performance is good...with 1 exception: fuel flow. I'm burning about 14.2Klbs/hr at M0.80 at FL310 under ISA conditions. I need to bring this back to about 9K. But this seems to be a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't scenario. I've tried mucking with thrust, performance tables, and inlet area...but the upshot is that if I get the fuel flow right, I have to reduce my net calculated cruise thrust (reducing inlet area, changing the thrust tables 1502-1506, etc...) and I lose my ability to climb and …
