Bdp files not generating

Hi all,

Does anyone know why an aircraft does not generate a .bdp file in use? I can't see anything in particular wrong with the various files within the aircraft folder.

Ta.

Does it show up in the menu? Normally, if it doesn't generate a bdp file, it means there is a problem somewhere in the xdp file, and the aircraft won't be available...
 
Hi Clive,

is it sorted now? I'm seeing bdp files generated with the Hampden's. is it possible for that folder its been set to hide system files? I believe the game will run without bdp files it just takes a lot more PC resources to run the game.

I cant say I have ever seen that in any of the CFS3 work I've done, usually as Nigel says if I stuff something up then it will give the error message about the aircraft, still start the game but the plane is not available for selection. and no bdp file is generated.

let us know how you get on, I am interested to find out what happened.

regards Rob.
 
G'day Rob! Yes probably to do with file types not showing - I think it's yet another Windows 10 issue! I wish I'd never installed it and it's too late to revert back to 7! :(
