Where is DC-9 model.09?

[ssi02]

I am in the process of installing DC-9s from your site.  Am currently at the DC-9-30 page and the .cfg entries in both "dc9-30f_alitalia_cargo_system_1968_32f_i-dibk.zip" and "hjg_dc-9-33cf_nasa_1969_n650ug.zip" make reference to a "model.09."  After checking all the other DC-9s I've got installed I've found the "model.10" file but nowhere in any of the DC-9s installed on my copy of FSX do I find the  "model.09."  Where does it reside?

In the case of both the ALITALIA CARGO DC-9-32F and the NASA DC-9-33CF .... you're obviously using these textures with "the wrong aircraft base pack".

For these textures you must use either of the following two aircraft base packs (only) and which which are available within the "DC-9-30 CF/F" section of our DC-9-30 downloads page ....


Douglas DC-9-30 CF/F (Base Pack)

Douglas DC-9-30 CF/F (Base Pack)

Version JT8D-11 v1.13


"MODEL.09" is the convertible/freighter version of these aircraft ..... featuring an animated forward fuselage port side maindeck cargo door .... and that model is included inside both of the above base pack files only (for reason of the FDE required to aiding the working cargo door animation), but, intentionally not included in any of the PAX version base pack files.

These models "ARE" there .... because I've just downloaded both DC-9CF/Fase packs and checked, and seen, this for myself.

All of the textures we provide (not just those for our DC-9's) must only be used with base packs available from within the same sections as the textures. That's why base packs are located within each texture section.

In the case of our DC-9's .... don't use convertible/freighter intended textures with any of the PAX intended base packs .... or you'll find either some of the built-in model animations wont't work (for lack of FDE data required to support these) .... or you're texture/s won't display in FS for lack of the assigned model/s.

Download the either of the DC-9-30F section base packs (the JT8D-9 version would be most appropriate for both of these textures) .... then add your texture folder and FLTSIM.XX data accordingly .... and you'll be fine.
