Planes won't load

Postby baron2424 » Sat Jun 09, 2012 1:50 am

When I selected my planes, scenery, and click on runway, everytime the simulator is loading the scenery, the game freezes and stops. This only works on somepassenger and fight er jets. Some example are the Boeing 747 and DC-11. Each time the simulator loads, it freezes, I tried to install it again but it won't work. I get to fly the planes before, after then I think maybe last week or 2 weeks ago I started having this trouble. Before that, I have no trouble. I miss Boeing 747 :cry: . Help please?

I had this Problem With FG 2.0.0
Win XP 32, Intel GMA945, 3GB RAM 80GB SATA HDD
Only Result: I had to wait for FG 2.4.0

NOW:

I Have FG 2.6.0.1, Win 7 64, same Hardware, Everything works OK!

There is no DC-11
Do you mean MD-11, DC-10 or MD-10 (DC-10 with MD-11 avionics)?

You are loading with --fdm=yasim. Do not load up a specified FDM on startup, this will crash the sim.

So I just don't load the fdm thingy and everything will go fine, I'll try that, if it still doesn't work, should I uninstall and install it again?

You cannot disable the FDM thing in FGRun, but setting it to "jsb" in the Advanced > Flight Model dialog makes FlightGear decide what FDM to choose (it basically removes the --fdm command from the commandline).

Planes won't load

Postby Flightgearperson » Mon May 13, 2019 11:21 pm

so every time I start the L1011-1 the model just won't load. Like the plane, the shape isn't even close to an L1011 shape and with a blue and yellow color. To me, I think it could be a corrupt/broken model file or some failed texture that somehow made it into the downloading process. I downloaded the l1011 from https://github.com/FGMEMBERS/L1011

Whenever you download from GIT, you must remove -master from the foldername. Then it will work.

Kind Regards,
