No worries, Rich....thanks for the quick fix. No rush for the upload given the current situation!
Hope you have a safe and happy break from 'routine' (whatever that is these days:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

Hi CQ
Just following the post traffic between you and Rich. So Rich has corrected the missing MDL files and set up a new installer for them, but the installer still has to be uploaded to the server, and this may not happen over the course of the Easter weekend due to the holiday? Do I have that right?

[Rich]

The new installer is up now. Just go to the EA Forum and grab it from there: https://traffic.justflight.com/topic/999/traffic-global-1-1-1-4/2

The DL is still listed as 1.1.1.4 (1,455,788KB....vs. 1,459,781KB of the original DL)
Should it have been displayed as 1.1.1.4/2 as per the link? Or is it just the way it's uploaded?
Also, should the same installation instructions be followed that you posted for the original DL?

Thanks Rich

Hi Rich,

I've just downloaded the update/fix & uninstalled/reinstalled and am happy to report that the some of the planes are now visible in a completely clean install of FSX-SE (dx9):

Baron B58 still invisible, no lights and tends to taxi off the airport into the undergrowth
Bonanza B36 still invisible
C152 OK! but all the repaints are the same!
C208 OK!
C172 Skyhawk OK! but, again, all the liveries are clones
Citation nope, still can't see it
Kingair B200 OK!
Piper Cherokee 140 doesn't appear to even load into the sim

[Since this was only the results from a cursory test of flightplans created to park the planes up in a deserted airfield, I may have missed some other issues as I've not yet parked up all the repaints for each individual aircraft] Hope that's of some help, anyway.

Is anyone else is having similar problems, or are my cataracts a lot worse than I thought:nerd_face: ?

@Capt-Quirk
After a quick look around I can confirm that:
Both Baron B58 and Bonanza B36 are invisible (didn't notice any unusual wandering off the field, but it's completely possible that they were doing this)
C152 is visible but with duplicate repaints
C208 appear to be OK
C172 the three (3) that I located seemed invisible...two airborne and one parked on the ramp
Kingair B200 didn't notice any....but can go with CQ's assessment that they're good to go
Cherokee 140 again didn't notice any in the look around

I think your eyesight is fine....more likely that as Rich said, there's still some fine tuning to be done on this one.

@Rich
Also Rich just on a side note....I noticed that even with 'Use Alternate Liveries' unchecked....that a Pel Air S340 and Blue Dart B757-200 were sitting on the ramp at KMEM.....actually the B757-200 was parked at a gate but I'm sure it was in cargo config.

Forgot...there was also a Star Track RJ85 siting on the ramp in CYYZ....but it was in a designated cargo area so at least it was paying attention to where it should be.

[Capt Quirk]

@vortexwake
Yep, you're right. I am now starting to see things that aren't there! :kissing_face_with_smiling_eyes:
The C172 is invisible ....and all the Caravans appear to be clones too (though I have found just one other livery on a C152 - G-BYED)
...invisible C172 & visible C152 have no lights
bit unimpressed with the hexagonal passenger windows on the Kingair!

[vortexwake]

@Capt-Quirk
Yep....I noticed that the C208's appeared as clones too.
Didn't notice that the C152 and C172 didn't have any lighting.
Hexagonal passenger windows in the B200 Kingair?....I'm gonna have to find one and take a look at that!
I guess this is why Rich said that this build hadn't been fully fleshed out yet.

[Capt Quirk]

@vortexwake
Just had a very swift look at the texture sheets for some of the GA and they do appear to be different from each other.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with the fallback textures and each repaint is using that for some peculiar reason.

B200 Kingair passenger windows


TG B200 compared with Orbx static B200 (in background)

[vortexwake]

@Capt-Quirk
That's a good question about the fallback textures being used instead of the individual texture sheets for each....especially if they are as you said, apparently different from each other.
Probably something that Rich would have to take a look at and be able to answer.

@Capt-Quirk
B200 Kingair passenger windows

That is just so wrong!.....:grinning_squinting_face:

[vortexwake]

@Capt-Quirk
That looks like a Kingair C90 in the background of the second image....with the correct pass windows.
Must be an add on?....AIG?
Ah....ORBX....got it.
My mistake....that is a B200 in the background.....nice model.
But the detail on the rivets in that close up of the JF B200 is pretty impressive!

[Capt Quirk]

@vortexwake
Nice rivets...shame about the windows!:face_with_tongue:

[vortexwake]

@Capt-Quirk
No kidding!
It almost looks as if the 'outline' of the correct rounded pass windows is there....but wasn't adjusted as such when the hexagonal pattern was laid on for spacing?....just a guess.

[Capt Quirk]

You may be right...there is a shadow of a rounded frame there on the Kingair...
Must admit to being quite impressed with the detailing on those planes that I can see!

Quite...er...rivetting! :persevering_face: [sorry, just couldn't resist!]

Edit: have just spotted a couple of C208s in different livery!

[vortexwake]

@Capt-Quirk
Would have to agree with you, and credit to JF for the attention to detail on these GA models.
Much improved over the previous default GA ported over from T360....I'm not going to miss the AA-5!

Maybe the different liveries on the C208's is dependent on the region?....there are four (4) different textures folders with differing registrations (G-AUZZ, G-EACP, G-EBBE and N-LSLD)
