Question for conversion gurus

[gavinc]

Hi,
I have a question about converting aircraft from FS2004, specifically with regards to de-compiling and re-compiling.

I have started working with SCASM to fix little issues with converted aircraft. I am currently working on Greg Peppers HU-16 Albatross which converts well using MDLC except for 2 minor issues, the right cowl flap doesn't work and the landing lights stay down.

I managed to decompile the converted code using mdlc and get both cowl flaps working and the landing lights linked to the landing gear.
The issue is that the plane now will cause a CTD when I exit the flight, before I decompiled and re-compiled I could exit without any issues.

This happens even if I don't do any modifications to the code, ie if I do a straight de-compile, re-compile.

These are the commands that I am using to compile the SCASM (where %1 is the name of the mdl file)

MDLC /m %1.sca
MDLC /l %1.bgl
MDLC /c %1.mdk
copy %1.MD2 %1.MDL

Does anyone have any ideas

thanks
Gavin

Hi Gavinc,
It could be the Crash check. or something with the light. CFS2 does not support these things.

Thanks,
I checked the g_LightState and it "appears" to be ok. I hadn't thought of the crash check.

Thanks BC, I didn't want to bug you too much.
