  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

DC F-14 does not show up...

I have trouleshooted what all I can think of that might cause this problem, but so far no success..

No matter what I do, Dean's Tomcat is not visible for me in MSFS :mad::banghead::banghead::banghead:. NC
 
Weird. Do you mean the plane is invisible in the sim, or it doesn't show up in the menu?

If it's invisiible in the menu, does your folder right below the root of your Community folder look like this?

And do you have the latest update?

If it's invisible in the sim itself, if you have the Marketplace weapons pack installed for any plane, make sure you have the latest version of the weapons pack. Using an old weapons pack can turn DC Designs planes into Wonder Woman's invisible plane.

If you bought the F-14 from Just Flight or anywhere besides the Marketplace, just delete these files:

If you have the Marketplace version, grab the latest weapons pack update: https://flightsim.to/file/51186/dc-...e-purchase-weapons-re-activation-modification
 
The problem was due to the liveries I had. As to which one(s), I don't know. I guess I will have to add them one at a time to check. Thank you. All good now! NC
 
Glad you got it figured out!

MSFS Addons Linker is a wonderful tool for troubleshooting... Easily turn things on one at a time.

My 2020 sim would take an hour to load if I didn't use it after four years of collecting add-ons.
 
I had a similar problem with Pilot's DHC Dash -7. It was in the Community folder, ticked in Add On Linker, but wasn't showing on the aircraft selection screen. Eventually, I turned off everything in AO Linker, reinstalled the Dash, then one by one switched everything back on again. It worked, but I never found out what caused the problem in the first place. That aside, Add On Linker is the essential utility, in my view.

Oh, I can identify with that. I have had to add additional SSDs for storage. I almost feel like a "Add-on Junkie", as I have downloaded and organized hundreds and hundreds of them. Were it not for Add-on Linker, the sim would be completely unmanageable.
