747-400 JAL photoreal problem

[Peter Z KCLE_EDDN 336]

Hi there,did anyone get this bird to show up in FS2002? I haven't been able to select it, well actually it's not even there.Well, what do you know, after all these years of manually installing, this one simply won't show up. I already checked the aircraft.cfg, model.cfg etc. but I can't find anything wrong with it.What am I doing wrong? BTW, I'm talking about the great repaint from Tom Harlaar that's in the library today.Cheers,Petehttp://members.aol.com/pzsoulman/myhomepage/logo.gifAthlonXP2000,AbitKX7-333(latest4in1),512MB/2700SDRAM,WinXP,DirectX8.1,Geforce3TI200(128MB)(Det.30.82),SBlive(WDM5.1.2601.0)

Yes, I'm having the same problem, and, like Pete, I double- and triple-checked all identifying entries in the aircraft.cfg file. I also installed another airplane into FS today, and this one did show up, so I guess it cannot be a problem with my installation of FS.

Hi Dominik,I just downloaded a Polar Air from Posky's website (that is a 747-400F) and just copied the textures from the JAL to the Polar Air one. After that just some minor changes in the aircraft.cfg to change airline, name etc. and everything's working fine now.Try it Dominik, well worth it, it's really an outstanding paintjob.Uebrigens, ich wusste garnicht, dass Du in Frankfurt bist?! Schoenne gruesse aus Cleveland, Ohio ins Hessenland denn.Cheers,Petehttp://members.aol.com/pzsoulman/myhomepage/logo.gifAthlonXP2000,AbitKX7-333(latest4in1),512MB/2700SDRAM,WinXP,DirectX8.1,Geforce3TI200(128MB)(Det.30.82),SBlive(WDM5.1.2601.0)

Thanks, Pete, this did the trick for me! I woder what might have been wrong with the original file, though.Und sch
