Greetings all,
As some of you might already know, I am making all of my planes available to simviation in both CFS1 and CFS2 formats. However, I have come across a problem I havent had before.

I have a Bf110C that flys well in CFS2, but when I put it in CFS2, the engine dies after a few seconds in flight and wont restart. When I am on the runway, I fire the engines so they are turning, but when I apply throttle they die and wont restart. These are the same engines that work in CFS1.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm not quite following; you said it flies well in CFS2 -- without the engines running? Or did you mean it flies well, with engines operating, in CFS1 but not in CFS2?
Did you make a seperate .air file for CFS2? Seperate engine entries, proper fuel limits? Also, make certain there aren't multiple related, or conflicting, entries in the file.

Hi H,
The plane's engines die once I select altitude free flight. However, I used the default B-25 and copied every entry across from my air file to the B25 air file and it works. Little bizarre, but whatever works. I found also that the DP file positions my plane on the runway, but when I click off pause, it sinks a little(mud perhaps?) The wheels are sitting in the ground a little. In CFS1 I would adjust the landing gear, height or angle, but none of these work in CFS2, is there a parameter in a file I am missing?

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't get back to this post until now. In honesty, I'm not really that familiar with CFS2. I've installed it recently but I've been busy redoing WW1 planes for CFS1 use.
In CFS1, I've made the positional adjustments in the .air file, not the Damage Profile (.dp). When I've reverted a plane programmed for CFS2 to CFS1, the .air file won't work as is -- I have to delete a number of its entries -- and have to change the COG and view points in the "fuselage" section of the .air file for any size changes.

EDIT: found your "Design" forum entry so it seems you're OK, now.
