Hi all,

yes I know this has been donebefore: I have installed into the default dc3 folder the RAE and BBMF versions, the RAE one is there but not the BBMF one... if I change the texture on any other dc3 entry to point to the texture.bbmf i get the BBMF textures OK.
In fact what I have done is copy the fltsim4 entry and just editted it to be the BBMF C-47.

Can anybody see what is wrong with my aircraft.cfg
fltsim.4 works fine but fltsim.5 does not appear, both were originally UKMIL designs but I think both were from here.

The fltsim.5 entry is copy pasted from the readme.txt file with the download, I've tried changing the atc id to dc-3

It was a luxury airliner that boasted cabin heat and running water in its on-board lavatory. With the right balance of efficiency, range, speed, and payload, the DC-3 was the first aircraft to earn a profit for its owners just by carrying passengers. The hero of early airlines, a handful of DC-3s are still at work today.

If the two versions you have in your aircraft.cfg file are the only ones, shouldn't they be shown as [fltsim.0] and [fltsim.1]? In one of my aircraft.cfg files, I listed the first airplane as [fltsim.00], and that kept it from showing up.

Hi everyone who replied,

Artkl on't worry about it showing fltsim.4 etc , there are 0 to 3 there as well which are the original dc3 entries when fs9 is installed, I just pasted the basic to show the problem because both were from UKMIL.

Incidently Doug? , I deleted all the dc3 folder and recreated it from the disk 1 .cab files, hence I'm not 100% sure that the [[ was there first time but I'll find out as I can't think of a reason why when I copied and pasted the first time why there would have been 2 ['s

I'll let you know as it didn't show up in the installation checker either, fsacc I think I used. That program shows loads of errors with Just Flight aircraft.

Been playing with flights sims for a very long time now, 1981 I started, it became more of a substitute for having to stop gliding in 1995, I've flown once since and couldn't do aerobatics.
I guess you never stop learning - thanks for the help guys, I'll post an update once my other half lets me back on the PC

Hi all,

problem was the [[

I now have a C-47 Dakota entry under the DC3.

My other half does'nt use the PC, I just don't stop her using the Wii  I just watch out for the shadow of her thumb
