February 5, 201412 yr Hi, So maybe this is just a celebration of the fact I've reached a plateau in my FSX knowledge where I pretty much feel like I have a good feel for what works, what doesn't, why problems crop up and how to solve them -- all of course with the caveat that FSX is at some level magic and pixie dust and will always leap out at you in unexpected ways..... But, while I'm in my temporary field of deluded happiness, I have this small question: is there any way to control the default size a 3D model of an aircraft is when it shows up in the FSX Free Flight Start Screen? It's only because I have just a couple of add-on aircraft, one of which shows up ridiculously tiny, another of which shows up as a close-up of The Hulk from the knees upward. I'm hoping there's some small edit somewhere I can make to tweak those into normalcy. Any clues? Thanks!
February 5, 201412 yr Not even close, try again please. I believe you cannot control that. EDIT: Actually, LeeL is correct, funny I never tried to do that. [color=#a9a9a9][size=1][size=4][img]http://forum.avsim.net/public/style_images/flags/rs.png[/img][/size] Lj. Prodanovic[/size][/color]
February 5, 201412 yr You can fix that, but I'll have to go research how I did it. Edit: Found it! http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=RADItor I was able to fix a variety of problems with the A2A B377 Stratocruiser by changing the radius with RADitor. Turns out the bounding boxes in the model were off and the calculated radius was way too big. It fixed such diverse issues as the aircraft being too small in the preview animation and little to no engine sound on some external views. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

February 5, 201412 yr Author Aha! Thank you, Hook. I know I can zoom on it with mouse wheel, just like with spacebar and mousewheel in the VC cockpit. Just was wondering how to "save" a setting. Will check out RADitor, thanks! Steve
February 5, 201412 yr Steve, make sure you record the old setting or better yet, make a backup of the .mdl file, just in case an edit causes everything to go pear-shaped. So far, I haven't seen any problems with the edit I made to the B377. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
February 5, 201412 yr So now we must continue to wait for the most silliest question ever on AVSIM... :lol: Glad a fix was found. Best regards, Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

February 5, 201412 yr Ok, now for question 2! How do you shut off the music that plays in the default screen? MY FLIGHT SIM BLOG http://deskpilot518.blogspot.com/ Proud supporter of Intercity Airways, visit www.ViaIntercity.com
February 5, 201412 yr Ok, now for question 2! How do you shut off the music that plays in the default screen? You can delete those files (or replace them by some music of your choice). What happened to AVSIM
February 5, 201412 yr You can delete those files (or replace them by some music of your choice). Or: [sOUND] AmbientUIMusicVolume=-6.000000 You can also set this via the Sound section of the UI. Regards,Brian Doney
February 5, 201412 yr If you don't want the music go to Settings->Sound and at the bottom uncheck the box that says, "Play user interface music." I turned mine off about the second day I had FSX. You can also choose between several selections. Or... go with Olli's suggestion above. Somehow, I didn't mind the music in MS Flight... but unfortunately some of the beta version music was better.

February 5, 201412 yr I turned mine off about the second day I had FSX You waited that long?! :blink: The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
February 5, 201412 yr You waited that long?! :blink: It was only the second time I started FSX up. Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
