Hi Capt Mercy. I'm lovin' the Fairchild C123B Provider.

Just a couple of oddities I noticed. And you may have already covered these somewhere else in this thread. If so then I apologize for being redundant.

First off, I am not seeing any gauges in the VC.

Second, and this is just kind of weird, when trying to load the sim with the Fairchild C123B Provider loaded, making it the 95th AC, it gives me the old "failed to initialize" database and "failed to load quick combat" messages. But as soon as I remove an AC, any AC, everything is jake. Normally my max AC number is 98.

MR
 
Okay. Never mind about the gauges and VC. I had the panel aliased to the wrong Fairchild c123. However, I still get the error messages about failing to initialize and all that stuff under the circumstances I described earlier.

Time to take some screenies!

Sweet!!

Sweet!! Have you tried out the audio player yet!

on the error messages I seem to remember that each repaint counts for an aircraft
even though there is only one paint for this plane you might have a couple more somewhere else messin up your count
 
Yes, I have concluded that whatever the issue is, it has zero to do with your Fairchild C123B Provider.

Still its a bit weird.

I always break-up multi-paint-job AC into separate AC folders- one for each paint-job, so that I never have more than one AC per folder. I also always have 5 folders inside the Aircraft folder that contain no AC at all. One is for AC panels, one for AC sounds, one for Brit Pilot, one for Jap Pilot and another for Allied Pilot. I do all moving around of AC using Martin Wright's ACMan. I have around twice as many AC sitting around in "Hangars" as I keep active in the sim at any given time.

Whats weird is this: depending on something I have yet to figure out, I still keep getting those database failed to initialize error messages.

Thanks for the great Fairchild C123B Provider!

MR

PS: No I haven't tried out the audio player yet. It went right by me. But I will.

Just listened in. Very nice. A little tactical radio chatter to fly by. Excellent! Thanks!

BTW, No matter what I did and what AC I eliminated from the AC folder I still kept getting those messages. However, CFS2 wasn't shutting down. All I needed to do is choose another AC and everything was fine. But the first time in from a cold start I kept getting those messages. Finally figured out what the issue was. Turned out to be an issue with too many objects in my OBJECTS_DP folder. A few hours prior to downloading and installing your Fairchild, I had downloaded and installed No Dice's Viet Nam Piers pack. I tried them all out in MB and eyeballed them but never fired up the sim and did any flying with them installed. Anyhow, as soon as I uninstalled them the messages ceased. So, I went in and eliminated a bunch of miscellaneous DP files from the OBJECTS_DP folder, ones I am sure I have never used for anything, and then reinstalled No Dice's VN Piers and everything is jake. Funny how those five little DP files drove me over the magic number right at the exact time I installed you Fairchild. I currently have 1456 DP files in my OBJECTS_DP folder. So my magic number must be right around 1460 or so.

Cheers,
MR
 
Whew!

Ok was getting a little worried there at the start thanks for pointing out that everything is ok with the plane it’s important to me to make sure it’s good to go
