• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The cats out of the bag!!!

Having a problem here,the A/C does not register when I start the game,I get the corrupted or missing file message.:kilroy:
 
There is missing white space, so for now you can just cut and past this into the .xpd file and it will work fine. I wasn't sure where the white space was missing so I just cut out all of the description text lines and it works now.

From the Catalinas Manual.pdf

"In the Catalina GRII-A version (float plane), when starting from the water, it is not modeled with landing gear, but the game still assumes it has landing gear and you need to press the G key to raise the imaginary landing gear. This wil stop the message landing gear above max airspeed damage may occur from displaying."

So simply put the float plane wasn't modeled the same way for whatever reason; probably a choice of "either or but not both"?

I'm backing up my "clean" ETO folders and am going to install these planes now, thank you Lewis for the quick-fix solution to the .xpd file error(s?) which I assume is the same for the W_QZ.

I enjoy the thrill of debugging CFS3 almost as much as I enjoy flying in it. To wit : I had to copy the .xpd files to desktop to open them with Notepad as I recieved errors when trying to do so with Adobe Reader. Hopefully I can get these AC tucked in correctly after the above mentioned wrenching as I've been looking forward to flying these Catalinas.
 
Hint: in the <Description String=""/> using note pad in the text change all of the " for ' and every thing will work fine :jump:
Cheers!
 
The Cat is IN the bag

Got them in using Lewis' advice, will now check into what gosd has stated. Thanks fellas!

Indeed the error was in the description, removing the description altogether worked as per what Lewis posted.

Then I applied what gosd said, and I did find a few instances of " (quote mark) being used inside of the descriptive lines instead of ' (apostrophy).

When I made those corrections and reloaded the aircraft (after deleting the .bdp files first) it still showed ******** asterix in the descriptions.

It took me a minute to realize the situation there, but it came to me from years of modding CFS`1 :


Even with the " 's inside of the .xdp files being corrected to ' 's the descriptions themselves are too long.

They are at the time of this writing beyond the character limit and display as *****************.

So I trimmed them down to just the informations given after the Note : and the aircraft specifications that follow them.

With that done, I have those AC installed now with a proper descriptive for both aircraft working, and totally loving it.

I suppose I shall notify both the author Ted (Nachtpiloten) Kaniuka, and Beau Brummie about this little hiccup immediately.

I cannot thank you guys enough for your shared knowledges and expertise in troubleshooting, Hats off to the SoH Forums~
 
Well the Cat is out of the bag in more ways than one. I finished uploading last night (night for me anyway) and intended doing some testing today before I made any announcement...but there are some very keen people out there:icon_lol:

As it appears the Cat problem is with the descriptive string then it is my fault as I added the detail after Ted sent them to me. I'll upload a corrected model ASAP.
 
Hot Damn!

If you are looking for test piloten for that project, then sign me up!

Kinda funny how you've got that in the hanger already, great minds they say...
 
Someday...

Someday I'll get to this plane. Hey, my brother lives in Saratoga, NY on Glensvoort Drive I think....
 
Hello,
I have installed Both (with correct sound and corrected XPD file) ) in CFS3 and when I select "free flight" and try to select the aircraft I have 2 entries with the same name "TK_PBY5A_DH_Y" .... ??
When I select the one or the other CFS3 Crashes ...
Correction 1 aircraft Crashes CFS3 the other flies OK .

But I do not find the "other " Catalina ......


I found why ythe XPD correction is ONLY for 1 of the Catalinas
<UnitData>
<General Allegience="0" LongName="TK_PBY5A_DH_Y" ShortName="TK_PBY5A_DH_Y" ModelName="TK_PBY5A_DH_Y.M3D" BlastDamageScale="1.0" ImpactDamageScale="1.0" FireDamageScale="1.0" Priority="2" Type="moving" EnteredService="03/01/1940" LeftService="12/1/1957" BlastDamageMod="1" ImpactDamageMod="1" FireDamageMod="1" Category="tactical_bomber" Country="britian" AllowSpawn="n" />
<GunStations>
After the installation of the corrected XPD in BOTH aircraft BOTH have the SAME Name !!
":kilroy:
 
Maybe you copy/pasted lewis's corrected XDP into the XDP of the wrong airplane?

Or added the text instead of overwriting it?

just a wild guess
 
Hello,
Changing the Longname , shortname and Model name ..... and it is OK!

I do not understand the left and right gun stations design.


Out of this the machines are great, thanks

Your welcome Phenozo, can you post the portion of description you used so I can past into my .xpd

The obvious reason would be that it is a flying boat and not an amphibian... ;)

Excuse my ignorance Frosty, I thought all models of the CAT were amphibs (guess not).


Ted that is one fine aircraft, and John those are awesome texures. You guys crank these out so often that we take it for granted, but thanks for the hours of hard work for our recreation!
