Golden Oldies. Another one that works great in FSX!!!

Is there a main texture folder though mate? if so you may need to copy the files from that to each folder or to save memory mafe a texture.cfg file that relates back to the one with all the .bmps needed for ya aircraft .... sorry I can't seem to get my words out as I've been to the pub but does at least one texture work for ya... I know ya an sp2/Accel user so please pm me, I'll install this bird and let ya know what I made of it later tomorrow

All the texture folders have the same four files. From what I can see there are no shared textures in them. The only thing I can think of is that they are somehow part of the model itself.

I've looked thru all my FS9 files but can't find any interior textures...

Damn same here mate, I'm stuck sorry mate we need to ask these guys who have got it working although looking at it they may not be sp2/accel users!

 

[Helldiver]

I got the same darn results as Lateral. Who ever ported it over and it works, must be enchanted...

 

[peter12213]

Rgr that mate!

 

[Naki]

I have this too and keen to give it a go..maybe the FS9 update needs to be included (available from the Dreamfleet site) before instaling it in FSX?

 

[falcon409]

I'm also wondering how this ever ported to FSX as was mentioned at the beginning. This is what I get:

I tried porting it over and this was the result:

How do I get the missing textures to show?

I get the same result as well. Im running FSX SP1 and Acceleration.

Falcon..did you install from disc or copy over from a FS9 install?

If its from your FS9 install did you copy the gauges from the FS9 gauges folder to your FSX gauges folder as Ive got all (bar one) gauges running just that its minus all interior textures?

 

[falcon409]

I tried installing to the FSX folder but it wouldn't so I installed to FS9 and moved the files over. I used the F1 Installer, plus the updates.

Yep, roger that Helldiver. I'd love to have this to fly, but I was pretty sure it had major problems and this confirms it. Not sure how expat got this working, but it's not a "one size fits all" installation apparently.
Think I'll go look for the other true FSX version and see if it's worth messing with.

 

[falcon409]

Ok, quick update. . .I ran a search for both authors of the FSX version mentioned here in both Avsim and flightsim.com and found no mention of a 310. I did find one Cessna 310 by Mr. Reyes that was originally a 2002 model and had an update to make it work in FSX. File size was 1.4meg so that should tell you something about the simplicity of the model, lol.

Let me please apologize to all who are having difficulties and frustration. I should have explained better how I did this but it was back in March and I had to go search for the instructions I think I used.

I could not get the installer to work because I can't remember or don't have the credit card I used to buy it with back in the day and you need that for the last 4 digits since that's the passcode needed to install.

I just copied the files from FS9 and put them in the associated folders in FSX.

expat,

can you provide a list of the files that need to go in the texture folder?

I can't use the installer because of the above mentioned problem I have. If I know the file names then possibly I can find them in FS9 and move them over.

Right now there are only four files in each texture folder....

thanks,

Yea, I was more than a bit surprised when I saw this post. I knew there had been a lot of discussion about this airplane not working in FSX. Currently, my problem is the VC. Nothing is clickable, there are no sounds for the VC including simple ones like the door opening. None of the gauges for the pilot panel are showing up despite the fact that in FSPanel Studio they appear to be loaded.

I assume that there is a sound dll file that has a lot to do with this and I have copied from the FS9 folder any sound/gaugesound dll I could find but no joy.

For those who haven't found them, there are 24 or 25 textures that must reside in the main FSX texture folder as well. Since the Installer will not accept any other installation path besides FS9 I don't see how anyone can say they just redirected the installation to FSX. I tried that and it would not allow it.

Note: LateralG, the textures are in the FS9 main texture folder and all are df310 textures. They're all together, just find that grouping and highlite and cut and past in to the FSX main texture folder.

Ok I tried it and it works great. No graphical issues. But I have not flown this for years and I'm wondering if the flight model needs tweaking for FSX. It's just so unsteady to fly...

I gotta say that the VC has aged well. It still looks outstanding.

I'm happy for you. Please explain how you installed with no problems while most of us are about 30 seconds away from trashing it.:isadizzy:

Thanks Falcon! Your tip on where the missing texture files resided worked. I copied those files to the main texture folders for each paint and !viola! it worked:

I don't have an a/s indicator but I will try to fix that later. The prop/clouds issue is there but that's a model deal due to SP2/Accell...I can live with that. The switches ARE clickable in my VC. I don't know why they are and Falcon's are not unless I already have the needed files from other ports I have made from FS9 and the needed files are already in FSX. Sorry I can't be more help there....

All I did was copy the original files from their respective locations in FS9 and put the C310 gauges in the FSX gauge folder and the main aircraft folder in the FSX simobjects/aircraft folder.

Also FWIW, I had previously updated my FS9 version with the fix from Dream Fleet (exe file; FS2004_Update_C310). I think for those of you that haven't done this previously for the FS9 version will need to do so prior to porting over to FSX.

I hope this helps the rest of you to get the DF C310 to work in FSX.

Actually I did nothing special. I installed it to dummy sf2002 folder and copied everything to FSX folder accordingly. Works right off the bat.

Yep same thing I did,only I still had the installer on my hard drive,and sent it to my FSX path where it added an 2002 folder ,that I just put the contents out of into my sim objects airplane folder,and downloaded the two updates from the Dreamfleet site,and yes as I stated in an earlyer post I have sp2 also.

I'm gonna try the updates if they do any good with the flight model.:mixedsmi: And SP2 here also.
