[Problems with PMDG Format - again]

Volker,

Again, so many thanks for coming on so quickly. I do wish I understood more about the intricacies of your wonderful programme - I use it day in and day out {sorry - English saying} - without thinking about how it works. Until it goes wrong!!

This time it was the DBC - I did not realise that a change within FS9 scenery would stop the programme converting to other formats - yet would still allow a save in the pln format.

We live and learn. Re-running DBC in both 8.3 and 8.4 {I reinstalled back to 8.3!} solved the problem.

So we are back on line and ready for VATSIM - once I get everything else installed.

Vielen Dank.

[Problems with PMDG Format - again]

I have been running FSC successfully for many years including saving plans in all formats. I have just re-installed FS9 and at the same time updated FSC to 8.4 and I now find I cannot save FP in PMDG/LDS format. They are saved in the correct FS9 folders for the aircraft but only in the FS9 pln format?

I have tried different Airac cycles and ensured both FSC and the aircraft have the same cycle. All with no effect - FP are only saved in pln format

V grateful for help on where to go next!

[FS9 - LIRF - Texture Problem]

:D

Downloaded the latest FS 2004 LIRF file and the problem has disappeared.

Well Done.

[FS9 - LIRF - Texture Problem]

I have done some more "trial and error" work and found that the problem file appears to be the scenery file "lirfveh1.bgl". If I replace this file with the original from the FS2002 installation, the missing textures [static bus etc] reappear!

Great!! But the only problem is that the Jet Docks do not then work properly - lots of flashing shadows, docks and vehicles appearing and disappearing etc.

So I reinstalled back to the original and the Jet Dock worked perfectly but again I had lost the relevant static textures again.

Is it possible for the author to look at this file again - its a great airport and this is such a very minor glitch.

Many thanks

[FS9 - LIRF - Texture Problem]

Not been able to get a picture yet but I have more details.

1. Delete and re-install - no change.

2. The problem appears to be the static airport bus as in files lirfvh02.bmp and lirfvh02_lm.bmp. The other vehicles shown in these files are displaying ok.

3. The problem vehicle shows a blank outline but I can see the wheels and, at night, its lights.

4. The dynamic airport bus is all ok - moving around and showing all textures.

If you start at LIRF Stand E2 Regional you will see a small car parked next to your aircraft - no problems. But ahead oy you ab cross the taxiway, a bus ai parked next to a twin engined turbprop. In my installation, this bus has no body textures. Also you can see one or two other buses in the distance with the same problem.

Emphaise - only in FS9 - FS2002 remains ok.

Hope that the above might help with clues to my problem.

[FS9 - LIRF - Texture Problem]

I have 203 texture files - exactly the same as in my FS2002 LIRF texture directory.

[FS9 - LIRF - Texture Problem]

I recently upgraed LIRF to FS9 - all appeared OK except that I have problems with textures on some of the vehicles .. I see the vehicles - but they are blanks - whilst the dynamic vehicles seem to show and move around ok. I have checked with my FS2002 installation and I have the same texture files and in FS 2002 the vehicles are ok.

V grateful for any help in finding the missing textures.
