Title: Re: fsx don't load "flight model"
Post by CoolP on Jun 7th, 2012 at 2:37pm
No problem. I'm just looking for some entries in the file which defines the aircraft for FSX. It's called aircraft.cfg and it's located at FSXfolder\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B707-300. If you open it with e.g. Notepad (you can choose it with a right click on the file), you will see a lot of text, separated by chapters.

Some of those chapters have [fltsim.0] as title (or another number, instead of '0'). Those are the entries FSX is looking at for e.g assigning the right flight model or repaint to your plane. Now you spoke about an error message which says 'couldn't start flight model' or something. This points at some mixed up entries in those sections, namely in the line where it says sim=csx701.

Here's an example from my system.

Quote:

So look for those entries and post a few of them. Take the first three or so. That's [fltsim.0], [fltsim.1] and [fltsim.2].

Now while I don't know why the installer mixes up those entries, I want to check if this really is the cause of the FSX error message. For this, you would have to post some of those [fltsim.0] entries.

As a general tip on installing the plane, always make sure to right click the installer and then select 'run as admin', to avoid any problems with lacking Windows rights. Also, it's a good step to temporarily disable your antivirus in place. You can trust the Captain Sim installers, so this isn't a security hazard or something. Just make sure to enable it again after installing.
