Northeast airlines texture B727200_VL

[simliner]

Not sure if this is where I need to be. I downloaded the texture for B727200_VL for Northeast Airlines. I have several for this base model,yet when I put this in my list for that aircraft, will not show up in FS9. I have print screen for it, but do not understand how to put it in your website. Thanks Kenny

In a bit of a hurry at the moment

Suggest you read "this following forum posting" (on the "BOEING SUPPORT" forum page) and which covers all possible reasons for your experience with the B727's ....


If Your B727 Simulation Does Not Display - then "READ THIS"
tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/8349/b727-simulation-display-read


Without seeing your AIRCRAFT.CFG based FLTSIM.XX/ADD TO AIRCRAT data "for the texture in question only" .... then .... the following explanation may apply to your particular case ....


Have you assigned a model folder name to the MODEL= data line within the FLTSIM.XX/ADD TO AIRCRAFT data for that particular texture .... as instructed per the the installation instructions for each B727 base pack and in relation to all pre October 2015 uploaded textures ?


If you feel none of the above apply to your case, and if you still can't resolve this matter yourself on the basis the information provided, then, I want to copy & paste the data for that texture only (not the whole) CFG) so I can see it .... and asdvise further if necessary.

I have print screen for it, but do not understand how to put it in your website

The protocols required for displaying images on this form are "standard and in accordance with most others" too .... I.E. any image needs to be uploaded to an image hosting service first, then, its URL linked back to this form and contained within the Insert Image/image display brackets selected from the top menu bar among the tools/options visible at the top of whatever you're posting. It's quire easy and straight-forward.

Just reviewing this query .... prior to your expected reply.

I've looked at the texture package for this particular NE B727-200 subject.

The data we provide is correct and needs no adjustment .... other than editing the MODEL= data line (within FLTSIM.XX/ADD TO AIRCRAFT DATA) with a model folder name from the base pack you're using. This's "essential" since this particular texture is a "pre-0ctober 2015" release and won't have its MODEL= data added by default .... as is forwarned within our forum base support/service notes.

I think I can now deduce what you've done wrong though .... that's probably causing this texture to not display within FS.

I suspect you've mistakenly applied this particular texture subject to a B727-200 ADVANCED base back .... and not the intended "B727-200 EARLY" base pack version.

This particular NE B727-200 subject is a standard/early prioduction B727-200 .... and "not" a -200 ADVANCED series aircraft (in fact it represents the very first B727-200 to enter service). It can be used with any HJG supplied "B727-200 EARLY" base pack .... but again .... you must remember to edit the MODEL= data line of the FLTSIM.XX with a model folder name from the options available within the base pack you opt to use.

If you want an "authentic configuration" .... THEN .... use this NE texture subject with the following specific "B727-200 EARLY" base pack


b727-200_early_tl_jt8d-9_v2.0


Edit the MODEL= data line within the FLTSIM.XX data to read ....


Model=TL


ALSO ....

Use the HJG supplied "B727-200 (not ADV) JT8D-9 panel" .... with this base back recommendation.

And .... use the HJG supplied "B727 P&W JT8D-17 soundpack".

PLEASE NOTE: there's no major audio difference between the JT8D-9/-15/-17 on the B727 (whereas there "is" in regard to the D-7 and which is reflected within each of our soundpacks) .... hence the multiple aircraft/engine type applicability in regard to our JT8D-17 soundpack .... as is stated within the forum based manual.

Thanks Mark C, for your expertise help. For the early B-727-200, there is 4 base models. Which one should I use? I am using the HJG Boeing 727-200 early TL JT8D-7 v2.0. I have other textures in that folder with no issues, the model has Model TL & the air file has B727200_VL just like the other textures has. Thanks again, look forward to your assistance. Kenny

Kenny ....

Your stated MODEL=TL data line is "correct" (regardless whether you're using your selected JT8D-7 or my own suggested JT8D-9 B727-200 EARLY base pack)

Your stated SIM=B727200_VL data line is "correct" too (this remains the same for either of the above base pack options)

So long as that's what you've actually done then you've made no mistakes at all.

However .... something still isn't right in regard to your installation .... obviously

To be able to determine what this may be (and it may not be your own fault .... it could be caused by conflicting data among what you already have installed .... a very rare scenario but one I have seen happen previously) I need to see the entire FLTSIM.XX section from your CFG .... showing me "every texture you have installed inside that particular base pack and edited into that CFG".

Without this particular information I can only "guess" at what may be wrong.

Again .... I need you to copy & paste here "the entire FLTSIM.XX section" from your CFG

As may be seen below ....

There's nothing at all wrong with the texture .... or it's supporting FLTSIM.XX/ADD TO AIRAFT data.

Nor is there any issue with the base pack/model instructions or advice provided (so far) by us either.









I made these images this afternoon after installing this texture from our website.


Kenny .... there are 2 more standard checks you need to perform (s state within my above linked "IF YOUR B727 DOESN'T DISPLAY" document) and which are as follows ....


1. Check that the FLTSIM.XX data line for your NORTHEAST texture entry has been edited in numerical sequence .... following the FLTSIM.XX entry preceding it.

2. Check also that you have not got the valid texture file still contained within a containing folder from the original ZIP file.


Both of the above scenarios are the most common causes for texture no shows in FS.


FAILING THIS ADVICE .... and as previously requested ....


ONCE AGAIN .... I need to see the "entire CFG based FLTSIM.XX data section Kenny .... not just your NORTHEAST data only. I need to be able to review the FLTSIM.XX data relating to "every individual texture you currently have installed inside that base pack" .... without that information I can only guess.

Kindly post a copy & paste of this data with your next reply.

I do have a hunch as to another possible cause of your issue a very rare scenario which I've only seen occur twice previously over 18 years), but, I'm reserving comment in regard to this .... until I see your data.

The sooner you get back to me/us with the requested information .... then .... the sooner I/we "may" (possibly) be able to have you up and flying NEA .... as per the above images
