    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.

Exporting Ski Version of C-47 from Jahn V2 to Jahn V3.12

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

I exported C-47 ski version model base along with livery folder from version 2 to new version 3. Everything works well in version 3 except all black cockpit panel and black propellers. However, I solved the panel problem by aliasing to the v3 interior and everything in the virtual cockpit panel works very well!!!!

However, I cannot figure out how to solve the black spinning propellers that spin in black circles. I even copied propeller texture from v3 liveries into ski version livery and no luck.

How do I solve the black propeller problem in the ski version in model version 3, please?

Thanks,

Aharon
 
The earlier version uses a file named propdisk1.dds.
The latest version uses propdisk.dds.
I think you need to rename the propdisk.dds file in your repaint texture folder to propdisk1.dds.

Yep, it sound like the textures files can't be found. For me its unclear what you exactly mean with "I exported C-47 ski version model base along with livery folder from version 2 to new version 3." Did you just place the model file, the aircraft entries and liveries in the V3 version? In that case the "old ski model" needs the "old files which were shared in the "old texture" folder.

To avoid overwriting, you can best copy these files from the "old ski model" directly into the livery folders which belong to the "ski model".

I hope this makes a bit sense.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Ncopper,

Okay I will try the renaming file trick for props. Thanks for suggestion

Huub Vink,

Everything regarding ski version works well in version 3. The only remaining problem is spinning propellers that spin in black color.

Aharon
