According to the read me....."This airplane's panel is for FSX Deluxe Edition ONLY"

Seems like the model itself should work without deluxe

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Look closely at the names of your aircraft and make sure that all the names line up with the correct image. This download does not include a thumbnail pic....so FSX sometimes won't display the aircraft even though it's there. If this is the case, simply choose the plane when you find it, take a screenshot of it, then size it and rename it "thumbnail". Then insert it into the aircraft's texture folder. It should display properly if you do this

Hope this helps...

If they show up with a ? mark....then you're not suffering from the problem I described......sorry Undecided

I'm sure that someone else will have the answer

You beat me this time Chuck79! Word for word what I was going to suggest. Tongue

Another way to grab a thumbnail is to copy the thumbnail from the download page and paste it into the texture folder, and rename it "Thumbnail". Saves lots of time. Wink

The "!" point should not have cause the aircraft to not show. I left it on the folder I installed, and it shwoed. But whatever works!

I think what happened is this:
The aircraft did not show because the panel was not compatible with your version of FSX. So, when you aliased a new panel to the aircraft it caused it to show up.

I don't know why I didn't think of it before........the plane won't show up if it doesn't have a panel Wink
