CFS3 Model Viewer Not Working

[gecko]

I have forgotten how to make the model viewer work. I have the correct shortcut per the knowledge base sticky, and it will load the model viewer window, but it crashes immediately after opening. I am running in a stock install, since I know Ankor's shaders are one of the causes for it not working. I can't figure out what I'm missing. I am running in Windows 11.

Thanks for any help.

I've had mine crash for splash screens it didn't like.

Hmmm.... everything is stock in this install.

Daft questions, but do you have the 2 patches installed?
Is the shortcut definitely pointing to the right install? (I've done it myself!)

Lastly, try an exe file from a different install.

I thought one viewed a model by changing the exe file somehow by adding another ending to it. can't fine mine yet

hey what is the text that needs to be added to a new short cut to view the models we have in the sim?

Also doesn't work in TOW. Tried it in CFS3 back up install CFS3v2 by Daiwilletti and also no go, as well as ETO Expansion.
