Swess 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi everyone, I tried to install a VA's livery today. I got this error message when I started FSX: "Aircraft initialization failure de Havilland Canadian DHC6-Q300 CXA" Their instructions were to add the texture folder to the aircraft's folder (I chose the 'WHEELS' folder), then change the aircraft.cfg file. That didn't work. So, I sniffed around...and I came across this: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/70584-guidelines-for-uploading-repaintsliveries/ I followed the directions, and the livery manager said: "sorry, this file could not be installed!" The new .zip file I created is attached. What am I doing wrong? Very oddly, the amphibian version worked perfectly as per the VA's installation instructions (not using the livery manager). But the regular wheels version will not work at all. Can I have some help please? Twin Otter Extended CXA Wheels.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 873 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 That livery seems to be for the old version of the Aerosoft Twin Otter and NOT the extended. Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Eric Bakker 736 Posted August 30, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi Swess, I had a look and apparently the CFG snippet is not correct This is the default Twin Otter from the wheel version aircraft.cfg: [FLTSIM.0] title =Aerosoft DHC-6 Series 300 Wheels sim =DHC-6.300.W model =4bladewheelcargo panel = sound = texture =DIVER kb_checklists = kb_reference = atc_id =D-IVER atc_parking_types =RAMP ui_manufacturer ="de Havilland Canada" ui_type ="DHC-6-300 Wheels" ui_variation ="Businesswings D-IVER" ui_typerole ="Twin Engine TurboProp" ui_createdby ="Aerosoft" This is yours: [FLTSIM.X] title=de Havilland Canadian DHC6-Q300 CXA sim=DHC6 model=300 panel=org sound= texture=CXA kb_checklists=dhc6-300-wheel_check kb_reference=dhc6-300-wheel_ref atc_id=CXA### atc_airline=CANADIAN XPRESS atc_flight_number=### atc_parking_types=RAMP ui_manufacturer="DeHavilland" ui_type="Dash 6-Q300" ui_variation="Canadian Xpress (Aerosoft)" ui_typerole="Canadian Xpress" ui_createdby="Canadian Xpress VA" description="Canadian Xpress DeHavilland Dash 6-Q300\n\nCanadian Xpress Livery:\nMarc J. Wheeler (CXA001)\n\n" As you can see the sim folder is wrong, the model folder is wrong, and the panel folder is wrong. Are you sure this is a livery for the Twin Otter Extended? I suggest you go back to the source where you got the livery and ask. [EDIT] Finn was faster while I was typing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swess 0 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Everything works now. I was using the non-extended version of the textures by accident! D'oh! Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
