SC Designs F-16 - 1.01 UPDATE OUT

I just downloaded the update, and "tried" to install it. Just Flight's instaaller ran fine, but did not ask for the Community folders location. Mine is in the default location right now, with another folder from a previous installation being in the XBox folder, moved there by XBox. I use short cuts for each folder in the Xbox folder installed in the default folder, to try to keep the size down. Have not had any trouble. But I digress. As I said, the Just Flight insatller ran fine, and the installation shows up in the Installed APPS list, but I cannot find the aircraft folder, and the aircraft doesn't show up in the sim. In fact, none of Dean's and Scott's aircraft show in the sim, except the F-4s, which are only available through the Marketplace. They all were in the sim before I had to reinstall when one of the recent previous sim updates completely FUBARED my installation. Is anyone else seeing this??
 
Installer worked for me -- placed the plane in my Community folder, but I have a custom Community folder location.

I then dragged it to my Planes folder I use for Addons Linker, no problems. (It did delete the previous Addons Linker symbolic link.)
 
I have checked all my known folders that are used, not in any of then, and not in the sim. I think I will have to contact JustFlight support.

Edit: I found them. Was looking for the wrong titles.
All is well.

I have to admit to using the keys E/X to start / stop this jet. However X to auto shut down doesn't seem to work now?
 
Like with the DC F-18, the landing gear looks to be excessively elevated/extended. Compare video at around 18 sec with most images of the F-16 and the oleos look like there's no weight on them.

Like with the DC F-18, I trust a similar fix can be applied. With the edits to the lights and model info sections, it sits perfectly - hope the same is true here. A nice model, though, one I might get yet. Perhaps after the Harrier.

Do you by any chance still have a link to the F/A-18C undercarriage MoD / fix please?

You bet. It's on the flightsim.to page for the C model Hornet, one one of the umpteen pages of comments. I created a file for myself for future reference if needed, so I'm going to write it out for you to save you hunting for it.

There's two files you want to edit: flight model.cfg, and systems.cfg. The edits to each, in the [CONTACT_POINTS] and [LIGHTS] sections respectively, are as follows:

That has the F/A-18C model sitting pretty much dead on where it should, instead of all giraffe-like as it comes stock.

Hope that helps,
