hi, dont have a pic, but when I select a plane, a pacman or yellow ball with eyes appears instead of plane. I am doing Preeze's luft 46 ga night fighter bit it gives me this. Any fix?

:wavey:It's usually caused by the hex editor not being used right. Are you trying to repaint or making an stand alone?
 
Hi, trying to fix the folder of preeze's luft 46 ga nightfighter. Got it from here but the folder is so disorganized and you have to rename stuff so it does not conlfict with his other version.
 
You need to retain the same base name for the aircraft m3d (Xxxxxxxx.m3d), the cockpit m3d (Xxxxxxxx_cockpit0.m3d - following cockpits if applicable are numbered sequentially, so Xxxxxxxx_cockpit1.m3d, Xxxxxxxx_cockpit2.m3d, etc) the air file (Xxxxxxxx.air) and the xdp file (Xxxxxxxx.xdp).

You also need to open the xdp file and correct the entry here:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<UnitData>
<General Allegience="0" LongName="3GB Beaufighter Mk 1" ShortName="3GB Beaufighter 1" ModelName="3gb_Beaufighter_Mk1.m3d" BlastDamageScale="1.0" ImpactDamageScale="1.0" FireDamageScale="1.0" Priority="2" Type="moving" EnteredService="09/01/1940" LeftService="4/1/1943" BlastDamageMod="1" ImpactDamageMod="1" FireDamageMod="1" Category="fighter_bomber" Country="britain" AllowSpawn="y" InfoURL="help\topics\infomosq.htm" ChecklistURL="help\topics\infomosq.htm"/>

So that it reflects the correct name. Use Notepad.

Finally you need to change the entry in the aircraft.cfg file:

[fltsim.0]
title = 3GB Beaufighter Mk 1
sim = 3gb_Beaufighter_Mk1
model = 3gb_Beaufighter_Mk1

The sim name and model name are the same as the m3d name without the tag. The title line is redundant.

Hope this helps.
