Aerosoft F-16 missing liveries

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased FSX Steam edition and went ahead re-installing all of my payware aircraft. I installed the Aerosoft F-16 but I noticed that only 3 liveries are available!?

I had a look in the installation folder and all the individual livery folders seemed to have installed correctly but they don't show up in FSX. Yes I have checked the box to show all liveries.

Any clues to why this would be happening?

I wonder why this is happening.. It didn't do this on my previous FSX installation. Maybe its a FSX Steam edition issue.. still it bugs me as I can't figure out how to fix it.. =(

I finally figured it out, as I was also struggling with this issue. After installation, I only had 3 liveries: Thunderbird, BAF Demo and KLU Demo. The reason why all the others won't show up is because the folders "panel" and/or "sound" aren't complete. Simply copy the "panel" and "sound" folder from the "Aerosoft F-16C Clean" and paste and overwrite it into all the other F-16 aircraft files.

How to fix:

1. Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft F-16C Clean
2. Copy both the "sound" and "panel" folder
3. Paste and overwrite to all the other F-16 aircrafts folders

Enjoy :-)

I will have that checked guys!

Sorry guys but seems the "solution" what Kkristians1 posted is not good. At least that's not perfect.

In my Airplanes folder there are 23 "Aerosoft F-16..." sub-folders. 21 for players' aircraft and 2 for AI.

In the 23 "Aerosoft F-16..." sub-folders there are 25 sound-config files. More accurately 23 sound.cfg and 2 soundai.cfg files.

All contain the same - except the sound.cfg in the "Aerosoft F-16C Clean/Sound" folder, what is the source file what the other use as well.

The other 24 must contain this only: (sound.cfg)

[fltsim]
alias=Aerosoft F-16C Clean\Sound
so all the 22 "Aerosoft F-16.../Sound" sub-folders need only the sound.cfg with the 2 lines "[fltsim] alias=Aerosoft F-16C Clean\Sound" description, except the 1 "Aerosoft F-16C Clean/Sound" folder which has the longer/source description.

Moreover both the AI sound files use the same sound.cfg with the 2 lines "[fltsim] alias=Aerosoft F-16C Clean\Sound" description.

so you dont need to copy and overwrite all the sound folders. You need only that short sound.cfg file in all Sound folders ! ! ! (except the source "Aerosoft F-16C Clean\Sound" folder ! ! !)

and now about the "Panel" files

There must be 21 panel folders, 21 for players' aircraft. The 2 AI folders dont need "Panel" folders.
There are 2 different source "Panel" folders. 1 in the "Aerosoft F-16A 9" folder and 1 in the "Aerosoft F-16AM Display" folder.

Only the "Aerosoft F-16C Clean" use the "Aerosoft F-16AM Display" folder "panel.cfg" source file.

this is:

[fltsim]
alias=Aerosoft F-16AM Display\Panel
other 18 "Aerosoft F-16..." folders need/use the "Aerosoft F-16A 9" folder "panel.cfg" source file.
[fltsim]
alias=Aerosoft F-16A 9\Panel
file names in the non-source Panel folders: these 3 needed only:
panel.cfg
asc.cfg
asc.dll
However all the liveries depends on the Aircraft.cfg file.
Cheers

Has anybody ever fixed this..?  this thread is almost 1 year old, but today I go install my F-16 package and find the exact same issue, despite your "I will have that checked" of a year ago..?

Here's the solution.  After I renamed Panel.cfg.Xpack to Panel.cfg, all the deliveries appeared.  BTW I used P3DV3.

 

From the blog below:

...

The problem is that a lot of the F-16 liveries reference the "Aerosoft F-16A 9\Panel" folder and if you look in that folder, there is no panel.cfg, but there are Panel.cfg.SP2 and Panel.cfg.Xpack. So I would conclude an installation step is missing when Aerosoft installer does not recognise Steam Edition and so does not rename one of those files. I simply make a copy of the Panel.cfg.Xpack file and rename it to Panel.cfg.
