Free SSW Fiat G91: Installing went fine, but no textures...

Hi,

just downloaded the fantastic SSW gift Fiat G91 and installing ran fine. But after starting P3dv4.5, I got only black textures/missing textures in the preview box.
Can anybody help, please?

EDIT:

Oh, not familiar with SSW texture options, but I can't found any texture folders with textures in it. I only find "textures/textures" and a lot of liveries, but all contain a texture.cfg file. Did I lose anything while downloading?
 
You need to download the textures separately from the SSW website.

Edit: Henk beat me to it!
 
Hi Guys,I have the exact same problem. I tried a reinstall, but have the same result. The ONLY texture folder in the "SSW-G91-RX-PAN_Textures" folder is a "cockpit.common" folder. My SSW F-84, F104S and FRF-104G TEXTURES folders all have folders for the textures that are called for in the aircraft.cfg file. This is NOT the case for the Gina (G-91). This appears to be a faulty download, based on SSW previous aircraft practice.Bill
 
Forget my previous post

Dave is correct. I guess I forgot that there was also a separate download for the textures for my other SSW aircraft. They are all superb, and well worth the extra installation. Best regards to you all,Bill
 
Me again - well, got all textures, thank you again.

But I have to ask for forgiveness again: Now the Bella appears fine, but some options still don't seem to work properly (it's not the aircraft, it's the stupid Kraut in front of the PC for sure :very_drunk: ):

Beforehand: I downloaded also the "SSW-keyless-installer-unified-v1.0.2.exe" and ran it - it was installing directly into P3Dv4 without any options. So that way, I am correct that the aircraft is activated automatically?

My issues so far:

1. I am not able to open the canopy, neither by shift+E, nor by clicking inside the cockpit on the cockpit lever.
2. When I open the configuration menu, I can find only a few options.

First, in menu "general" there are no options, for example aircraft state, pilot or any other things. I only found the key-icon below saying that "key is: 0". Does this mean anything?



2. Fuel/weapons selection:

None of the 9 configurations seem to work - I can scroll to the appropriate set, but can't apply any:



3. Option "properties" only shows two clickable squares: "Bitching Betty" but nothing happens...



A stupid user is looking forward to some hints, it's such a beauty...Thanks a lot in advance!
 
Canopy

OK, I found and installed the keyless installer. Can start the engine (Ctrl + E), but then I can't figure where to pull down the canopy (assuming it works like the SSW F-104's).Bill

Electrical switch, lower left on front panel. Hold button down to close, hold up to open. And above that switch is the handle to lock it. Had to research it myself.
 
I got a note from Simmarket that both the model and the keyless installer had been updated. I deleted both from my PC and uninstalled the model and redownloaded and did a clean install. Works perfectly. I had bought the model from FS Pilot Shop before they folded and got cut off redownloading it and the textures so I am glad to have this option to fly the G91 again. Huge thanks to SSW for doing this! I am very eager to buy the new TF-104 when it comes out later this year.
 
Thank you. I read this message on their site, but that only affects downloads before 4:00 pm. I downloaded it around 6:00 pm, so this seems to have included the new installer. How about your configurations? I can't get any to run....
 
I have to add that while downloading, my exe didn't start promptly - not until I changed the compatibility mode to "Win7" the installer started...
Latest state: No pilot, no configurations... will try to reinstall it tomorrow... Fantastic aircraft anyway! :applause: Thanks for this gift, I am sure I will get the Queen working...
 
Missed the sale even though it's only 4:30 pm on 4/1 here in the USA, but note they've dropped all their prices to 10 Euro for the time being -- still a great deal.
 
Is the correct sequence for the installers to run the main installer (and the textures) then the keyless one? I've got the updates to both from SimMarket, and I still get kicked to demo mode after a while.

That's how I did it and it works fine. And of course then the textures.
:ernaehrung004:
 
Thanks. Did you tell it that you needed a new key generated when that prompt appeared? I'm wondering if that isn't the issue
 
So far unfortunately unusable. No pilot, no configuration possible, no switches working. Reinstalled, new installed...
No changes...

Is it possible that it does not work in P3Dv4.5?
