slipstream 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Has anyone managed to export the A10 over to FSX yet, and if so could you pass on how to do it? Thanks. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid 2 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 HI Keith I was able to instal the A-10 into fsx, a few problems showed up 1)the gun fires continuously as well as the sound 2) you cant bring up the GPS because shift 3 gets you a cockpit view instead 3)when you flip back and forth from virtual cockpit to the 2 D view the two views interact at the cost of frame rates Once changed over though it works quite reasonably,aside from those few problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid 2 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 get back to me and I will walk you through how I did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid 2 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Keith I was able to solve the continously firing cannon by deleating a line of code in the cfg file, it seems that aerosoft uses the lights as cannon fire (bless there hearts) and to get rid of the sound of cannon firing i deleated that sound from the sound file folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxden6 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I tried the A10 install into FSX, following instructions above. The AC setup but FSX will not recognize any gauges when I open the program. Lots of old gauge messages and A-10 crashes. What do I have to do to get gauges loaded/working?

intrepid 2 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The first thing I did was to create a new folder inside the FSX folder. Look in the fsx.cfg file for a group of lines that begin "SimObjectPaths" Insert another line under the last of this group "SimObjectPaths.6=Aircraft" you might have to change the number to a higher one if there is already sixth sim object line ,change it to 7 etc .now save that line to the fxs.cfg file.Now open the FS9 folder and go to the Aircraft folder , open that and COPY ,dont cut. copy the aeorosoft A-10 folder and all its sub folders to the desk top . Now go back to the FSX folder ,find the Aircraft folder we just created and "Paste"the whole A-10 folder from the desk top to FSX folder , Once thats done Start FSX and try it out.I have not had any problems with the guages at all.Did you install the A-10 folder from the aerosoft disc itself or from the FS9 folder? You could, maybe try to deleate all of what you already have in your FSX folder with the A-10 and try again,Other than that I wouldnt know where to start, :? Good luck....Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solareagle 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I get a big black bar at the botton of the screen when using this in FSX, which covers about 1/5 of the screen. Is there any way to correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid 2 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have been getting the same "black bar effect" if after changing screens(from 2D cockpit to 3D) you notice part of one "view" over lapping the other you can at least get back to the black screen only by going to the "MAP VIEW" then cancelling out of the map view... I have tried everything I can think of to alleviate the "black Bar Effect " No luck so far :? ... have you had any problems with your gauges?

gsnde 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 To get rid of the black bar you have to change one line in the panel.cfg. [Default View] X=0 Y=0 SIZE_X=8192 //SIZE_Y=5555 SIZE_Y=6143 You will see this by quite a number of FS9 ported aircarfts and this fix does correct it.

Martin Hey Martin THANK YOU Whew Heww !! that one has been bugging me for a while. One other bug-a-boo of mine is, has any body out there found a way to view the GPS or is there a way to activate it (the GPS) without using the "shift 3" command?

gsnde 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 You're welcome, Randy Let me have a look at the GPS, if I find something useful I will post it here. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsnde 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is not forgotten During the last days I was on a very special FSX mission.... I thought I had an error with my FSX configuration. I did several re-install and finally went from XP to Vista. The error was still there. Let me describe the error: When I was taxiing on the runway their was a tremendous friction causing masses of smoke and debris flying around and partly hiding the aircraft. well, at least that was what I believed I was seeing. Finally I posted some screen shots and was promptly informed that this was nothing more than the snow effect of FSX. :shock: I am an imaginary guy, but how from a completely snow-free runway such amounts of snow can rise into the air and doing so looking not like snow at all ... So now I finally have found something in FSX to rant about. I am still in the process of re-installing everything. When it comes to the A-10, I will check and post my findings here. Cheers Martin By the way, is there a replacement for this horrible effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Martin By the way, is there a replacement for this horrible effect? :? Its A conspiracy I say ... A conspiracy,, that Bill Gates is out to get us all :wink: :wink: I will trundle through the files and see if I can find the "snow effects " and thanks again Martin for the previous fix Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7sudden 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 okay, I feel like an idiot. :oops: I've used Aerosoft installer, and am confused as to what to do from here. I assume that I need to move the files from within the Aircraft folder which was created be the installer, into the SimObjects/Airplanes/ folder. Then what? Any help is very appreciated. Thx!

intrepid 2 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Did you instal the a-10 into fs-9 first ,or are you going striaght from the disk .or was your copy of the a-10 a download? Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intrepid 2 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 thx. I'm trying to install straight from the download copy. If you scroll up this post to August 15 ,I think I covered fairly completely the process I used. I had the hard copy disk ,I don't see why there would be any difference in the installation look to see if the installer created a separate "Aircraft " folder in the program files/Microsoft games/Microsoft flight simulator X,if the installer didn't do that you might try creating a separate folder the Way described in the aforementioned post I did not install the A-10 folder into the Simobjects/Airplanes,folder Good luck, I will check back later Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after some progress I was able to follow directions as above. However, I still cannot see the A10 in the list of available aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid 2 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 In the pictures of the Current Aircraft/Select Aircraft screen on the startup of a Free Flight go to the top left of the screen Aircraft Manufacturer click on All and scroll down that section ,and if were lucky Fairchild Republic will be there,if it is click on that and pick one by double clicking on a picture I hope this works for you as im running out of ideas randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there is some difference as far as the installation of the download version vs. the CD (can't imagine so) I've double-checked everything: 1) Ran the downloaded Aerosoft installer 2) Pointed to the main FSX directory within Vista 3) Installer created two directories, "Aerosoft" and "Aircraft" 4) Edited fsx.cfg to reflect SimObjectPaths.6=Aircraft I am running Vista64-bit, but that shouldn't matter either? -Am I missing something?

intrepid 2 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I didn't know you are running vista maybe there are some issues with that operating system that need you to do things differently.I am afraid that I have no experience with vista whatsoever.The last thing I can think of would be to install the A-10 into FS9 ,get it running there than " copy " the files from FS9 to FSX Other than that I am at a loss :?
