MD81 won't show in FSX

[fsxflyingac3]

I have a problem making the MD-81 show up in FSX

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

FSXFLYINGAC3 .... I've moved you MD81 related posting from the CONCORDE SUPPORT forum page to here/the "MD80/90 SUPPORT" forum page

99.999 % (if not 100 %) of all FSX "NO SHOWS" (indeed the majority of FS "NO SHOWS generally) are the result of a missed, or otherwise fasiled, installation step.

I would suggest you probably first need to check/focus on each of the following ....

- Check that you haven't got a valid MD 80 file (namely the aircraft base pack folder itself) still contained within the/a containing folder from the original ZIP file.

- Check that you have activated (and therefore correctly renamed) the "FSX specific" AIRCRAFT.CFG file inside the Aircraft Base pack .... and aren't inadvertently still using the default FS2004 version of the same.

- Check that the default PANEL.CFG assignment inside the Aircraft Base Pack Panel folder is correctly aliased to the FSX B737-800 (I think it is)

- Check that the default SOUND.CFG assignment inside the Aircraft Base Pack Sound folder is also correctly aliased to the FSX B737-800.

I can't provide in-depth FSX installation assistance .... since I don't run that particular version of FS .... BUT .... I can assure you/everyone that the HJG MD80/90 series aircraft "ARE" all FSX compatible (meaning they display fine "IF" correctly installed) .... albeit they (like all HJG aircraft) are not fSX native. Just bear in mind though that easch of the HJG supplied MD80/B717 type panel options "ARE NOT" FSX compatible

I suggest you crosscheck my above suggested focus with your particular installation .... and then compare this with either of the follwing 3 FSX specific aircraft installation tutorials compiled by Dan ....
