June 16, 201213 yr Hi I'm get a message when selecting the C-185 of "Failed to startup the flight model". Any ideas, or do I simply reinstall it? Cheers Mike Mike Dryden
June 16, 201213 yr Sounds like some livery entry in your aircraft.cfg is off. Did you install some mods for the flight model or some extra liveries? To check, open the aircraft.cfg with e.g. notepad and look at the entries. I've highlighted the vital line.

For example, if you run the optional flight model mod from Bernt Stolle, the entry looks like this.It's pointing at the moded air file from Bernt.

June 17, 201213 yr Author Thanks... I'll go have a look. I thought I'd done a plain install, but it was a while ago after a rebuild, so anything could have happened! Mike Dryden
June 17, 201213 yr Author It's got: sim=185_stnd which I hadn't copied across for some reason. Fixed it now, thanks! Mike Mike Dryden
