E-3D installed but not displayed (FS9)

[hitperson]

hi guys i have downloaded the E-3D base pack, a texture and the relevent sound and panel files.

i have installed them as per the readme's provided with said files, unfortunatly the aircraft is not displayed in the aircraft selection menu

provided is the aircraft files contents.

Your missing the Aircraft 'header', copy and paste the "add to aircraft.txt" file, right above the 'General' section.

[hitperson]

ahh so it is the wrong way round??

many thanks.


E: sorted.

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

He had the ADD TO AIRCRAFT data/header there .... it seems .... but .... it looks like he'd applied to the very end of the CFG rather than at the very start of it !

"HITPERSON" .... I trust you're all sorted now ?
