B727 Load issue

[ricco6]

I have successfuly loaded and use a range of aircraft inlcuding the 727 - 200 with Dan-Air and Sabre textures.
For some reason when I load the Alitalia textures, having correctly copied the relevant sections into the 'aircraft' document, it creates and error and closes fsx down. Yet it works with the other two texture sets and when I use the other aircraft and livery combinations i've downloaded.

I'd welcome some ideas as to how this problem can be overcome.

Thanks

I note you refer to FSX .... so .... I've moved you posting to here .... our FSX SUPPORT fOR HJG AIRCRAFT forum.

This's the first report I recall seeing of any issue like this !

If you can run the both the DAN AIR and SABRE AIR textures for B727-200 ADVC without any problems .... then .... there's absolutely no reason why your ALITALIA texture shouldn't run equally well too.

Is anyone else experiencing what "RICCO6" has reported ?

I just want to check .... that you are useing your ALITALIA textures with the VISTALINERS/HJG B727-200 ADVC model/s and aircraft base pack/FDE available "HERE" .... on the HJG website .... and not any files obtained from elsewhere.

Would you kindly COPY & PASTE .... "here on this thread" .... your complete ALITALIA B727-200 ADVC "ADD TO AIRCRAFT"/CFG data .... so we can have a look at that !

It's among this data that any error, "IF" there is one indeed, may be located .... and may be the cause of your particular problem.

Mark,

I just downloaded the subject aircraft and looked at the cfg file. Here it is straight from the zip:

[fltsim.xx] // Change "xx" to next
title=Vistaliners Boeing 727-243 Adv ALITALIA 1977
sim=B727200A_VL <--------------- IS THIS CORRECT?
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=727-243adv_alitalia_i-dirj_1977
atc_id=I-DIRJ
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_codes=
atc_flight_number=722
atc_airline=ALITALIA
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=727-200Adv
ui_variation=ALITALIA (1977)
description=One of the most successful commercial jet airliners ever designed. Production totaled 1,831 aircraft between 1963 and 1984. \n\n Paint by Tony Madge -HJG www.simviation.com/hjg
visual_damage=1
atc_id_color=0x00000000
atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0
id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0

All of my ADVC -200 aircraft textures reference sim=B727200ADVC_VL

It would still be a good idea for the original poster to post his cfg file so you can see what is what.

Hope this clears it up a bit.

Best Regards,
Tom

Thank you for the replies so far and for advising of the move into another thread. Makes sense.

I can confirm I've taken the folders form the correct area of the HJG site. I downloaded all of them at the same time.
The 'add to aircraft' wording is as follows (copied direct from the zip file)

[fltsim.xx] // Change "xx" to next
title=Vistaliners Boeing 727-243 Adv ALITALIA 1977
sim=B727200A_VL
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=727-243adv_alitalia_i-dirj_1977
atc_id=I-DIRJ
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_codes=
atc_flight_number=722
atc_airline=ALITALIA
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=727-200Adv
ui_variation=ALITALIA (1977)
description=One of the most successful commercial jet airliners ever designed. Production totaled 1,831 aircraft between 1963 and 1984. \n\n Paint by Tony Madge -HJG www.simviation.com/hjg
visual_damage=1
atc_id_color=0x00000000
atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0
id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0

may be the suggestion you make is the reason. I will try it.

I have made the change to the sim= line and the aircraft now works.

Thanks for your advice

Thanks for confirming that Tom !

"YES" .... that current SIM= line for the ALITALIA B727-200 ADVC "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data, as it appears there, is incorrect !

As you have observed it should read as follows ....

sim=B727200ADVC_VL

I see "RICCO6" appears to have resolved his problem now on the basis of your advice .... so .... thanks again

I'll get Dan to edit the "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data for this ALITALIA B727-200 ADVC texture .... as soon as he's able to do so.

Fixed now.

Sorry for the delay, I'm having quite a few thing to cope with in real life at the moment...
