Hello gents:
recently i keep getting this message when i try to load a gmax aircraft:
failed to startup the flight model "name of the plane".
Fact is i re-installed the whole thing and it went ok, then i installed another plane and it came again, but it only says that, after you click on it the model appears and it work. Thisis not a stock plane.
any comments?
best regards

Prowler. My first thought is that you exceeded the CFS2 aircraft limit.
Copied from my CFS2 FAQ page.

Q I keep getting error messages when I either try to load free flight or mission editor. The problem usually is solved by trying again in freeflight, and the thing loads right. I'm probably going to have to reinstall.
A You may not realise that CFS2 has a "100" plane limit. I think this limit is set by the Mission Builder but it also affects the sim itself. I supect you're over or near the limit. The easiest way to fix it is to create a Hangar sub-folder in the CFS2 Aircraft folder & drag some of your aircraft into it. You could also delete anything you don't wish to keep. Make sure you don't move any default aircraft or 3rd party aircraft used in missions. That should stop those error messages. You can reinstall planes from the Hangar as you wish, providing you drag a corresponding number back into it.

If this does not explain it be a little more specific & we'll try something else.

37 aircraft is well under the limit so back to the drawing board. ???
Maybe you can take a shot of the error message & post it here.
If this only happens with certain aircraft I need more details so I can check them out myself. No big files as my limit is 10Mb these days. The file names & page numbers where they're posted would be a big help. If they work OK after the first time maybe it's not worth bothering with.

it´s just once that this happens, just once and it happened after i installed some other planes. besides that they work ok.
odd...it only happens in freeflight and when i click onthe plane (the plane name appears in freeflight startup menu) but when i just use it (no clicking)nothing, it works great.
Did i mention that this happens just once? only once then nothing but the plane works.
best regards

Yes I get the picture. LOL
I have no idea what would cause this. As I said before, if it works OK afterwards it might not be worth worrying about. I'll be pleased to investigate further if you're more specific on the problem aircraft. Not that this would prove anything. All systems are different, not to mention the CFS2 installation, & it might work fine for me.
