had this happen before

I just downloaded the Alpha XIAN H-6H@M from SOH and can't get it to show in the sim. I have AC man so I know I don't have too many planes, I put the contents of the Aircraft folder to Aircraft, the contents of the Senery DB to weapons/ scenery folder and the contents of the Scene DB to weapons/scenery/texture folders . The download includes 4 planes two AI and two flyable.
The planes show in the Windows root tree but not in the sim.
I've had this happen before but can't remember the solution. Is it the sound files? thanks

The answer is simple. YOU NEED TO INSTALL THE FIRST XIAN H-6 PACKAGE (ALPHA_XIAN_H-6) AVAIABLE HERE:

All planes are alliased to Xian H-6A. The AI are only avaiable for missions. All these instructions are in the ReadMe file.

made some progress

Ok I made some progress BUT, although the planes now show in the sim , there are two problems , one is that the AI planes don't show in the AI bombers list or if in dogfight mode they don't show in the planes you can fight , second I get two error messages for the H-6 c model ,they both say "cant find model wep_fab-500 and the other says the same for fab-250 in weapons libary".
Also there is an M model in both downloads so it says there is already and m model do you still want to install it?I said yes which may be a mistake.I was going to rename it to H6m-2 but didn't. The main thing is how do I get the AI planes to show in the lists for planes you can fight? I know they won.t show in the plane list of planes you can fly but I had hoped they would show in the list of AI bombers , which is the main reason I went through all this in the first place ,so I would have a target for my F-106.
I could just delet the c model ,,but what about the AI planes?
 
HURRI

Just reading the Read-me and it appears that the AI's are for some missions. I don't have those planes loaded but Peperez is the designer a suggestion would be to contact him for guidance or wait to he reposts here on this. Be calm and patient it will get sorted. Quick question though, you do understand that the plane is a BOMBER not a fighter and therefore would not appear in "Dogfight" as that is fighter vs fighter. Set your game for fighter vs. Bomber and it will/should show
 
I know it's a bomber

I know they are bombers but was trying anything to get them to show. I already tried the AI bomber list and they don't show. I'll give it a while and see if anyone has any ideas , but if I can't get them to show in the AI list I may as well take em out.
 
just wondering

Was just wondering if it would hurt to delete the C model xian that gives the "can't find weapons" error message ,and the H6M that there were two off, (one in each download)? I had renamed the M model M2 and it showed in the CFS2 tree but not in the sim ,so I'am thinking they are both the same plane.
By the way while flying last night I thought sure I saw another XIAN flying off my left wing then peel off. Maybe that was one of the AI planes or I'am finally loosing it altogether.
I searched all the sites that had missions and could find none for the XIAN's. Doesn't really matter as I can fly them in KOREAN COMBAT PILOT against other KCP planes.

That's why I uploaded TWO H AND M FILES, one, the upgrade version, for those, like you, that already have the original package. The right one is WITHOUT the turrets. Pick this one, select all and press Ctrl + C. Open the older H and M package and press Ctrl + V. Say YES when Windows asks you if it can overwrite the files. To make AI planes to appear in the Quick Com you need JSQED, a fantastic program. You also need to edit the mdlnames.txt to add them.

The Xians are Cold War planes. You must fly them against Phantons, Crusaders, F-16, F-14, F-18 and F-15. In the read me it's a complete history of them...

Did you install the OBJECTS_DP and SCENEDB that comes with the older package? Just unzip it again and move all folders to CFS2 root directory.

Thanks but

Thanks for the list of utilites but I havent a clue about how to use the JSQED . I unzipped 4 files to CFS2 and don't know where they are or what to do with them if I did.Also don't know how or what to rename the midnames .txt , or where their at?I just deleted the C model that gave the error message and also the M model that I renamed. I still of course have the M model just not the rename in the CFS2 tree.
You gotta remember your not dealing with someone as knowledgeable as yourself. I'am sorry for all these posts ,hopefully if I still can't get what your talking about ,like in your post before last ,I'll just live with whatever I have. I gotta keep things simple for my tiny little brain.Thankyou so much for your taking the time to help. Would have liked to know what caused the modules error although it might have been because I was trying to get winter terrrian to fly over and was useing diferent planes in my winter part of my Dambusters addon. After the crashes at first it seemed to get better hopefully I can get through a whole QC mission cause after the first crashes I flew for about a half hour with no problems. Just have to restart a few times before things seem to straightn out.Kinda ruins the immersion , but I can live with it.
Hopefully I won't be bothering you too much anymore until I really start flying combat which is a whole other thread.

Just keep them together and create a shortcut to JSQCEd.exe. Before mix up, create a backup of your Quickcom folder.

Good luck
