I can say the DC-9 files are all fine .... having been offered by us since 2009 (and coincidentally I'm working with them at the moment). If I understand correctly your DC-9 is appearing in FSX but without any textures .... so this suggests your exp4rience is resulting from a "texture installation error/misunderstanding". Need to know which DC-9 aircraft base pack and texture/airline liver you're trying to install. Can't provide any advice at all until you advise "PRECISELY" which files you're trying to install ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Mark C AKL/NZ

I use FSX and have installed the DC-9-30 Series aircraft with no issues and as Mark indicated you must follow the install procedure "precisely ".

I'm currently using the DC-9-10 JT8D-1 base pack and with the same EASTERN AIR LINES 1965 texture (DC -9-10 JT8D-1 base pack recommended) for flight testing of our new DC-9 base packs and panels .... scheduled for release later this year.
The recommended aircraft base pack file seems to be fine.
I've also checked the content of the 1965 EASTERN AIR LINES texture file too (currently offered on our DOWNLOADS page). I can confirm this particular texture, along with its FLTSIM.XX data, is all correct as supplied.
Each of our DC-9 base packs are both FS2004 and FSX compatible .... and so are each of our DC-9 textures too.
This's likely a simple FSX specific installation error .... on the part of the OP.
I can't attend to this today due to the imposition of RW commitments .... but will try to do so tomorrow.

Hi Goldenage, pleased to see you getting back into FSX. Can I ask a couple of questions? Firstly, did you delete or rename the aircraft.cfg included in the download (I recommend renaming it Aircraft_fs9.cfg)? Secondly, did you rename the Aircraft_fsx.cfg to aircraft.cfg then put the text from the “add to aircraft” in the Eastern repaint into this newly labeled Aircraft.cfg? Thirdly, did you open the panel folder and rename the panel.cfg to panel_fs9.cfg or delete it and then rename the panel_fsx.cfg to panel.cfg? Lastly, have you definitely downloaded the “FSX” sound files.
If you have put the “add to aircraft” details into the Aircraft_fsx.cfg without renaming it to Aircraft.cfg the sim won’t read it. likewise, if you haven’t changed the Panel_fsx.cfg to Panel.cfg in the panel folder, FSX won’t display a panel.
We will do all we can to get you up and running ASAP.
Cheers, Nathan

I didn't expect to be available before tomorrow, but, personal circumstances can, and sometimes do, change so here I am now.
I understand you are saying your DC-9 "IS" appearing in FSX, but, "IS NOT" displaying the EASTERN AIR LINES texture your are trying to install with it .... correct ?
This means you've made no mistake installing the AIRCRAFT BASE PACK .... but .... you have likely a mistake installing the "texture folder only".
You mention using the "DC-9-10 JT8D-1". We offer only 1X EAL texture for the JT8D-1 aircraft base pack. This is the "1965 EAL" livery for "N901E". If this is the texture you are trying to install with this particular base pack then you have made no mistake either.
Each of HJG's other EAL DC-9-10 textures represent much later aircraft deliveries which use the JT8D-7 DC-9-10 base pack .... as per information provided with these textures also.
Earlier today I checked the contents of the "EAL 1965 DC-9-10 N901E" texture. The FLTSIM.XX data for this texture is correct as supplied. I can also confirm the texture is fine as supplied too .... because I'm currently using it myself and with this very same base pack myself and with no problems at all.
I suspect you may have the actual "EAL 1965 DC-9-10 N901E" texture folder still contained within a containing folder from the Texture ZIP file (this has been a common mistake in the past). "If this is the case" then FS will not be able to recognize and display your EAL texture and your DC-9-10 will appear in FS but without any texturing at all .... exactly as you describe.
I want you to do the following ....
1. Open your "EAL 1965 DC-9-10 N901E" texture ZIP file
2. Identify the sub folder named texture.eastern_mdc_1965_11_n901e .... PLEASE NOTE: This folder is composed of lower-case titles only.
3. Install the above named folder inside your DC-9-10 base pack.
4. Do not change the name of the above named texture folder.
5. Do not change the TEXTURE= data line within the FLTSIM/XX data for this texture.
If your DC-9-10 JT8D-1 is appearing in FSX .... as you say. And if you also perform the above steps 1-5 correctly too .... then there is no logical reason why your "EAL 1965 DC-9-10 N901E" texture should not appear with the 3D model in FSX (or even FS2004).
In addition to Nathan's advice please note the following details also ....
The DC-9 PANELS currently offered by HJG "ARE NOT" FSX compatible. These Panels cannot be used in FSX. For this reason you will need to use the default FSX B737-800 panel. In order for this default panel to be displayed with your DC-9-10 you must edit the PANEL.CFG file (located inside the PANEL folder contained inside your DC-9-10 JT8D-1 base pack) to read precisely read as follows ....
[fltsim] alias=B737_800\panel
PLEASE NOTE: HJG's FSX compatible DC-9 Panels will not be available until later this year.
ALSO .... HJG offer separate FS2004 and FSX specific DC-9 sound packs. If you intend to use this audio then select the "DC-9 P&W JT8D-1/5/7" version only. Ensure you also select the "FSX" specific file version too. If you intend to use default FSX audio options then you must edit the SOUND.CFG file, located inside the SOUND folder contained inside your DC-9-10 JT8D-1 base pack, to read precisely as follows ....
[fltsim] alias=B737_800\sound

There should be no problems any of using these files in either FSX version (provided they are installed correctly of course) .... according to our past 15 years experience since 2009.
Follow the instructions I have advised .... please.

If everything is done "correctly" then there's no reason for it to not work ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Have you checked your EAL texture folder as I recommended ? Are you sure your texture folder is not still inside the container folder from the ZIP file .... or maybe not inside the aircraft base pack ? Again this will cause the texture to not appear on the 3D model. Is the name of your texture folder identical to that appearing in the TEXTURE= line of the FLTSIM.XX data for your EAL texture ? If you're using the "EAL 1965 N901E" texture .... then the name of this folder will read exactly as follows .... texture.eastern_mdc_1965_11_n901e.... and the TEXTURE= line in your FLTSIM.XX data must accordingly read exactly as follows also .... texture=eastern_mdc_1965_11_n901e"DO NOT" change the name of the texture folder. "DO NOT" change the FLTSIM.XX TEXTURE= data line for this texture either. The slightest mistake with any of these details will cause the texture to not be recognized by FS and then appear on the 3D model. If you are using an entirely different texture then you need to tell me exactly which texture you are trying to install. In this case you must state aircraft type, airline/operator name, livery date, and aircraft registration. I need to be know. If the above advice does not solve your problem .... then you must have done something that you are not telling us. In this case I want you to copy & paste the FLTSIM.XX section of you AIRCRAFT.CFG (not the entire contents of the CFG please) and post that information (only) here. Once again .... "if everything is done correctly" then there is no reason for it to not work properly since the files I understand you are using are each fine.Mark C AKL/NZ

I’m using FSX Steam Edition, so no problems there. I’m pleased you have got it sorted, it sounds like you have the default setting to start the sim using the Virtual cockpit. You can change this in the setting to start in the 2D cockpit if you wanted.
Cheers, Nathan
