Illegal argument on downloaded aircrafts

Postby QkPatrykosQk » Mon May 03, 2021 11:13 am

Hey,
Yesterday I downloaded A320 family with A319 and A321 (this one: https://github.com/Bombbird2001/A320Family) and I put it to Documents:/FlightGear/Aircrafts, then I added it in FlightGear Addons and I launched game with this A321 but then a window popped out saying "Illegal Argument" Any solutions how to fix it? I searched in net but I found nothing

What do you mean? I'm a beginner at fligthgear. I installed again this file with aircraft and again the same window popped out. I know that there is A320 family in shop but I want to fly with A319 and A321 but as I said I can't enter the game. So any other solutions?

Today, there is only A320 in A320family.
If You look at https://github.com/Bombbird2001/A320Family. You can see "This branch is 1502 commits behind FGDATA:master. " and age of all files. This is 4 years old and unmaintained version.
What is Your FlightGear version ? Minimum version is 2020.3.

did you remove "-master" from the directory name?
did you point FG to the directory containing the directory of the craft?

in other words, if you put the craft directory in your "Documents/flightgear/myaircraft" directory, you point FG there... not at "Documents/flightgear/myaircraft/A320-family"...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
