F9 Request help need it, Please !!!

[lovecraft]

Hi all, i`m new here and thanks for your ospitality.

my issue:
i downloaded the Base pack Boeing 707-120B + the sound and the panel for B707-120B (section panels)

1. i extract the 707 120B (aircraft) zip and the folder of the aircraft moved into the Fs9 aircraft folder

2. installed the panel from the zip file into the F9 aircraft/panel folder
note: i installed only the base pack of the aircraft.

3 i follow the point n.4>>> To make this panel display with your aircraft model you must open the "PANEL" folder inside your HJG B707-120B aircraft. It will contain a notepad named "PANEL". Open this notepad and by default it should read as follows :-

[fltsim]
alias=B737_400\panel

5. Pay attention to the line "ALIAS=B737_400\PANEL". Change this line to read exactly as follows :-

alias=fsfsconv\panel.b707-120b

The completed note pad entry will then look like this :-

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b707-120b

so, the Panel.cfg i changed and saved.

Start the sim and there is no in the list the boeing 707 !
What is wrong?

NOTE: THIS IS WHAT IN THE PANEL.CFG I CAN SEE before to change

Thanks ihope its clear and someone can help me
i really like to have your Fantastic aricrafts.

You have not created a folder called fsfsconv and placed ouyr panel files there.
Read the instructions again, very carefully and you sould be alright.

[Mike Monce - HJG]

Could also be that there is no texture downloaded so the first [flight_sim.xx] entry in the cfg file is empty. If it's just a panel issue then the plane would show up in the aircraft menu and load, but without a panel, or a panel missing gauges.

Which brings me to another thought... were the gauges downloaded and put in the gauges folder?

Mike

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

OK .... I think I can see what's gone wrong here .... so far as the panel installation process is concerned.

The B707-120B panel you are trying to install should have been installed inside the "FSFSCONV" folder .... as per our instructions.

This FSFSCONV folder is a standard folder which can be found inside the Aircraft folder of FS9.

PLEASE NOTE .... the panel folder provided with each downloaded B707 Aircraft Base Pack features a default panel configuration only which is set up to use the MSFS B737-400 panel. That is why the PANEL.CFG file within this particular panel folder reads as follows ....

[fltsim]
alias=B737_400\panel

"IF" you are following our instructions "to the letter" (i.e. installing your downloaded B707-120B panel inside the FSFSCONV folder .... as recommended) .... then the PANEL.CFG file within this default Panel folder inside the Aircraft Base Pack must be edited to read as follows ....

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b707-120b

So long as you do not make any errors when editing this PANEL.CFG file then you should not have any problems at all.

Above you have copied and pasted data from the actual B707-120B panel you are trying to install. PLEASE NOTE .... do not edit this particular PANEL.CFG file .... everything there is correct and ready to run.

There are other detaiils you need to check too ....

As Mike suggests above .... open the AIRCRAFT.CFG file for your B707-120B and make sure the very first [flight_sim.xx] reads as follows ....

[flight_sim.0]]

In other words you are changing the "XX" to read "0".

The FLT SIM.XX data for any subsequent textures you are trying add to your B707-120B AIRCRAFT.CFG file will then need to be edited as follows ....

[flight_sim.1]
[flight_sim.2]
[flight_sim.3]

To try and help you identify what needs to be done here is an extract from my own B707-120B AIRCRAFT.CFG ....

PLEASE NOTE .... FOR REASONS OF PERSONAL PREFERENCE ONLY SOME OF MY ABOVE CFG DATA DIFFERS FROM THAT OF STANDARD HJG CONVENTIONS.

The important data has been hilted/bold typed above.

Essentially you must check that each of the following AIRCRAFT.CFG data entries are correct for the Aircraft/Model and texture combination you are trying to install ....

FLT SIM. XX
TITLE=
SIM=
MODEL=
TEXTURE=
UI MANUFACTURER=
UI TYPE=
UI VARIATION=

The slightest error/misconfiguration with any of the above data will result in an aircraft/texture which does not display within the FS Aircraft Selection Menu.


I hope this information is sufficient to help you resolve your problem.

Dear aerofoto - HJG
Thanks, i did and now the Aircraft show in the FS9
but i can see the panel but without gauges in.
Are gauges to download and put into the main FS9 gauges folder?

Thanks for you patience.
and thanks all for the support

L.

[Dan K. Hansen]

See Mikes posting :-)

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

"LOVECRAFT" .... if you are seeing no gauges in your panels then you have probably forgotten to download the B707 PANELS CORE FILES package, or, you may have these CORE FILES incorrectly installed.

For starters .... here's what I recommend ....

1. Go to our BOEING PANELS + CORE FILES downloads page. Identify and download the following file ....

Core Files/gauges
(required for all panels)

This files contains 3 gauge files .... all of which must be installed inside you FS9 "GAUGES" folder. This file also contains a large number of WAV files .... all of these must be installed inside your FS9 "SOUNDS" folder and not the Sound folder of your Aircraft Base Pack.

Do all of the above correctly and you should have "NO PROBLEMS" whatsoever !!!!

I also strongly recommend you download and study the following supporting information files too ....

B707 Manuals

B707 Fuel Management Tutorial

Both of the above files are also available from our "B707 PANELS + CORE FILES" downloads page

If you are new to our B707/720/C135 aircraft then I also strongly recommend you go to our "ABOUT HJG AIRCRAFT" forum page. Identify and read/study (best to print it) my following posting ....

"B707 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES"

There is a lot of information there regarding the performance and handling of both our B707/720 aircraft and panels within FS .... and these notes are reviewed and updated every so often too.

I trust you will find this helpful !

livery for the bae 146

how do you put the livery in the ba

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

You mean the individual aircraft textures/liveries .... right !

All our textures use the same method of installation .... as per accompanying instructions and regardless of aircraft type.

All you need to do is add the texture folder (as supplied) to you aircraft base pack of choice .... then copy & paste the "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data provided with each texture to your AIRCRAFT.CFG file .... then make sure your [FLTSIM.XX] data at the head of each AIRCRAFT.CFG file appears in the correct numerical order as per my B707 specimen above .... and then "SAVE" the entire edit.
