Updating A380 model for FSX
Posted: 30 Jun 2010, 20:46
Hello all !
Just downloaded the freshly posted PA A380 ( Emirates model ). It's great but since I fly in FSX, I tried it out and it works fine.
But 2 things can be adressed easily :
1 - Problem : missing thumbnail when it comes time to select the aircraft. A default graphic is presented instead. To correct, make a screen capture of the A380 and then
save in a file called thumbnail.jpg in the texture directory corresponding to the airline painting ( still in the A380 directory )
2 - Problem : no sounds. Solution : open the sound.cfg file in the sound directory of the A380 and make sure this line ( alias=b737_400\sound )
is corrected ( change de 4 for a 8 ). The 737-400 was replaced by the 737-800 model.
3 - Additionnal views of the aircraft are one of the new features in FSX but it seems complex to create. I don't know how anyway.
Hope this helps someone out there,
