B727-100 Fails to show up in FSX!

[swva4420]

Hi Folks,

I'm having a problem with the B727-100 Early version not showing up in FSX at all, and I'm at my wits' end.

Here is part of the texture list my aircraft.cfg file -

[fltsim.0] // Change "xx" to next number in sequence starting from 0

I have 8 textures total, and none of them show up in the select aircraft listing. I have the 727-200 ADVC and -200 Super showing up just fine, and everything is the same in their respective aircraft.cfg files as for the -100....weird!

I have the panel.cfg file aliased properly as well. The texture folder names also match the folders.

Any ideas on this? I see there's a post similar to mine below, and that problem was a typo in the name of the sim= line; however, the sim=B727100_VL matches the name of the corresponding .air file in the aircraft folder, so that's not it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim

Problem fixed - conflict with Captain Sim's B727-100 - the "ui_type=727-100" is the same for both the CS version AND the HJG version - simple fix --> I changed the ui_type to B727-100 for the HJG version, and now they show up under the HJG grouping....they were mixed in with the Captain Sim planes before. So, if anyone else runs into a similar problem, it's an easy fi!

"SWVA4420" .... glad you got it sorted .... and thanks for letting us know that little bit of interesting information about the potential conflict too.

It all helps !

Always a usful line. I paint for a VA and we put the Airlines name in the ui_manufacturer line and the aircraft type and reg in the ui_type so all the aircraft appear together.

So if you did that with the real stuff using for example

ui_manufacturer=TWA
ui_type=Boeing 707-331 N707TW Delivery

all your TWA would appear in one list and all your Pan Am for example would be under P. In each list all the aircraft of the same type would be grouped together too

On my setup I have Brooklands and the Viking, VC 10, One-Eleven, Viscount, Vanguard and Varsity at the museum appear together in that list ;D

Hello all....Not sure if this is the correct 'thread' to post this....
ZA Here. I've just joined your site, some brilliant aircraft and textures. I'm particularly interested in early aircraft and in particular SAA livery, joy to see it here! However, I'm new to the re-painting of aircraft, the quality of your work seems really good, ( a reason why I joined) I've responded to the above question as I seem to be having a similar problem..e.g. no show on FSX, but in the files. I downloaded the 727-100 base pack and the late 1960's texture. (Now remember I'm a novice please!) I followed the instructions (correctly ...I think) When I come to paste the text from the Notepad..I think I'm going wrong...Here's why, I've got so far..

Am I getting the number sequencing wrong..? This probably seems like the obvious..but desparate to fly these splendid Aircraft...
Thanks for any help!

Yes you should only enter a single 0 not a double 0...the reason it says so, is when you install your tenth texture you have to enter 10 ... :-)

[fltsim.0]
[fltsim.1]
[fltsim.2]
[fltsim.3]
...
[fltsim.10]
[fltsim.11]
...
etc.
