Loading my aircrafts FG 2020.3.4

Postby S-KIMO » Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:08 pm

Good morning all, I'm looking for some help ... I installed version 2020.3.4 on an ASUS TUF 765D (frame rate = 30 with B777) ... I have an “Aircraft” hangar with my personal models on the “Desktop” and I cannot get them loaded ... The message “No aircraft found in the folder C: / pierr / Desktop / Aircraft add anyway? " appears! When I click on the link, I go back to my hangar ... I updated all the drivers ... I have an ACER Aspire 7250 (frame rate = 3 with B777) and I did the same manipulation and it works ... Do you have any advice? Thank you

C: / pierr / Desktop / Aircraft

What is with the spaces between all the elements within the path?

Should be..
C:/pierr/Desktop/Aircraft

And in Aircraft folder there should be your B777 folder, i.e.,
C:/pierr/Desktop/Aircraft/B777

And in C:/pierr/Desktop/Aircraft/B777 there should be B777-set.xml

Hello, No that's not the problem ...
FG loads the planes from the catalog and does not load the planes that I have drawn and which are in the Aircraft folder on the Desktop ... I give the path to the Aircraft hangar by adjusting the launcher ... Why does a computer do it and why the other does not? However, the path described leads to the correct folder ... There is a problem with the ASUS computer which is new and works with Edge ... Is there a configuration problem?

which folder, exactly?
it should point to the folder holding the craft folder... not the craft folder directly...

eg:
Code: Select all
             here --vvv
/home/myuser/myfg/Aircraft/mynewcraft <-- not here

Hello,
When I put the position of my hangar in the setting of additional aircraft files I write C:/pierr/Desktop/Aircraft and it becomes a link ...

In the Aircraft folder I have about twenty planes that I designed with Blender ...

When I click on the link, I return to my Aircraft folder which is on the Desktop ...

maybe try it with one of the 'official' aircraft? E.g. install the E-Jet family from the repository below and see if it is being found. make sure to use a Released Version and follow the installation instructions.

https://github.com/YV3399/E-jet-family-YV

if you already installed the E-Jet family from fgaddon then i'd suggest to uninstall it first. this avoids any confusion with the same aircraft being installed in different folders.

ok, this sounds correct...

each one is inside its own folder, right? and they each have a proper blahblah-set.xml file?

It's only a difference between my 2 computers ! Originally, I downloaded the 2020.3.4 version on my new ASUS, it does not work so ! I compare with the old ACER which does not have good performance...and this one works...Otherwise, everything is identical ! The hangar list does not appear in the choice of planes ! There is definitely something in the computer's configuration that is blocking...

Hello everyone, the problem is solved! Thank you all. In fact I was using One Drive under EDGE ... So I copied my Aircraft hangar on my Acer in the One Drive cloud ... When I looked if it was complete, everything was there ... On my ASUS only part Aircraft hangar in One Drive appears ... There is a delay to transfer to the Desktop and I actually only had empty folders of their subfolders and files
