  • 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.

Help an old guy out

I attempted to install the AVRO 621 in FS X and I don't get sound or gauges.

The installation instructions are to point the installer to a separate folder and move the aircraft folder into sim objects and the effects files into the effects folder.
I did so but as I say I get no sound or gauges.
Any ideas?
thanks JB
 
Basically the aircraft is self contained except for the effects.
If you can see the aircraft when in the sim then quite possibly an antivirus stripped out needed files during the extraction from the .exe. Perhaps the download was bad too, although I highly doubt.
Below is the file tree for the whole aircraft (possibly slightly different) within FSX, panel gauges & sounds highlighted.

Take a look in the aircraft folder and see if there is a sound folder and a panel folder. Is there .wav files inside of the sound folder along with a sound.cfg? The panel folder should contain gauge files.

Pretty much what Roman has shown!
 
Thanks fellows, In looking at that structure I see that the sound and gauge files are named " $$A file " instead of wave or xml and BMP
 
I just ran it again with AVG off and it seems that was the problem. I didn't know it would rename files. I wonder how much else it has messed with.
Thanks Guys I appreciate it.
JB


PS. thanks to all involved with the AVRO It looks great.

WOW!! That's some serious messing with files that in no way could harm your computer.
Anyway... Glad you got it into your sim as it should be. :applause:
