Can someone help me use AI74dupg.zip?

Featured Replies

Can someone help me use AI74dupg.zip? It is used on allot of AI flightplans. I have downloaded from AVSIM the AI Model AI74dupg.zip, which is the aircraft listed for texture b744bcf_atlas_air.zip. I am using this plane for the traffic file AIG_Su10_AtlasAir.zip. When unzipped these are the files: 744-Cathay.gif, 744-Cathay.jpe, 747-400D mdl2_GE.txt, aia_747_400d_ge.air, aia_747_400d_ge.mdl, aia_747_400d_ge_reflections.mdl, Aircraft.cfg.2002.cfg, Aircraft.cfg.2004.cfg. The 747-400D mdl2_GE.txt is as follows: FILES INCLUDED: New reflective and non-reflective models of the 747-400D GE New "Aircraft.cfg" New "x.air" file. WHAT THIS FIXES: This fixes the issue of the original ai aardvark 747-400 visual model being slightly too small. This corrected model is now 2.8 meters longer than the original. The new "aircraft.cfg" is required in order to place the lights in the correct position on the new larger model. The original upload of the aia 747's also included an earlier version of the .cfg than was intended. This resulted in extremely slow approach speeds. This has also been addressed in this new .cfg file. The new ".air" file isn't actually needed since it is identical to the original, but we included it in order so that this model could be used as a "base model" for 3rd party repainters who include only textures in their files.INSTALLATION: Overwrite your existing aia 747-400 .mdl files (The .mdl files are found in the "model" folder of the particular aircraft you are fixing) with the ones included in this package. Be sure that you using the right .mdl file for the particular engine type (GE, PW, RR) of the 747-400. (There is also a "Domestic" version of the GE model which does not have winglets.) As I read this it is supposed to work as a base model. However, it does not have the basic components that I see in other ai aircraft files, like a title, model files, FDE. I found AIA744ge.zip which has Title: AIA 747GE Paint, folder with folder fs2002fde, model folders: model.GE, model.GE_reflective, Photoshop, Texture.Blank, aia_747_400_ge.air file, and aircraft.cfg file.2004.cf. At the top of the aircraft.cfg file is //aia747-400fde (feb. 28. 04). I have checked it against the AI74dupg.zip Aircraft.cfg and it is identical. The MDL files have dates after the MDL files in the AI74dupg so I assume it was changed when the //aia747-400fde (feb. 28. 04) info line was added. I changed the Aircraft cfg text to the Add to aircraftcfg.txt in the "b744bcf_atlas_air" file which is the following:[fltsim.0]title=B747-400BCF Atlas Airsim=aia_747_400_GEmodel=ge_no_reflpanel=sound=texture=Atlas Airkb_checklists=kb_reference=atc_id=atc_airline=Giantatc_flight_number=atc_heavy=1ui_manufacturer=Aardvarkui_type=Boeing 747-400BCFui_variation=Atlas Airdescription=http://worldoftraffic.de.ki/atc_id_color=0000000000visual_damage=0atc_parking_types=GATEatc_parking_codes=GTII placed my AIA_744_GE folder in the Simobjects/UT2 aircraft folder, which works with other AI aircraft I use. I have placed separately, identical folders with just the names changed (AIA_744_GE and B747_400BCF Atlas Air) with the same results. Below is the results:
