After all these years FS2004/Golden Wings still has surprises for me! When I started to do a repaint I wanted to add a texture folder to my Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-10 and change the aircraft accordingly. Although the extra entry was made the alternative livery didn't appear. As I was not in the mood to sort things out I just swapped the textures and continued with my repaint.
When I started another repaint, I though I should figger out why the second Bf109 G-10 doesn't show up. But Whatever I did and changed only the livery which was in the default folder was shown.
And it becomes even more weird. To edit the aircraft configuration file I removed it from the Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-10 and placed it on my desktop. When I strted up my Golden Wings, I realised the aircraft configuration file was not in place yet. As the flight with the Bf109 G-10 was set as default I expected an error message. But no without any problem the G-10 appeared.
At that moment I thought I knew what caused the problem. I though i had put a second aircraft configuration for the G-10 in an other aircraft subfolder. But when I removed al other aircraft. The G-10 kept appearing as nothing was changed. I did a search but at that moment there wasn't a single aircraft configuration file in my entire Golden Wings install. Only after I has also remove the G-10.air file I received expected error message.
It seems it loads a aircraft configuration file somewhere, there isn't one in my Goden Wings install and I don't have the Bf109 G-10 installed anywhere else.....
A absolute mystery for me, but do you have any ideas?
Cheers,
a puzzled Huub........
Edit: I have by-passed the system by renaming the model file and chnage all references to the model name, but nevertheless it remains a complete mystery for me!
