perhaps you could explain what doesnt work?

Does it load up and show on the runway?

If it does this, please go to browse internal properties/controls/engines and you will see that the cutoff is set at true. set it to false for each of the engine and press autostart.

That should do it.

I have 1.9.1 and it works, Gooney is on 1.9 andit works there too.

Im trying to make the new liveries selectable in the menu.

I have the new liveries showing in the menu but when i click them nothing changes.

I have followed i believe the wiki article http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Livery_over_MP

im sure it's something simple. Is the selectable Liveries compatible with Non CVS use?
here is the dhc8-300Q.xml part relevent.
Code: Select all
<animation>
      <type>material</type>
      <object-name>fuselage</object-name>
      <object-name>Rengine</object-name>
      <object-name>Lengine</object-name>
      <object-name>LLG.door</object-name>
      <object-name>RLG.door</object-name>
      <object-name>Lwing</object-name>
      <object-name>Lfuselage</object-name>
      <object-name>Rfuselage</object-name>
      <object-name>rudder</object-name>
      <object-name>Elevator</object-name>
      <object-name>tail</object-name>
   <object-name>R.aileron</object-name>
   <object-name>L.aileron</object-name>
   <object-name>Rwing</object-name>
   <object-name>R.flap</object-name>
   <object-name>L.flap</object-name>
      <property-base>sim/model/livery</property-base>
      <texture-prop>texture</texture-prop>
      <texture>ceaero.rgb</texture>
    </animation>


here is the dhc-set.xml relevant part

Code: Select all
<item>
                    <label>Select Livery</label>
                    <binding>
                        <command>nasal</command>
                        <script>aircraft.livery.dialog.toggle()</script>
                    </binding>
                </item>


and then the nasal part relevent.
in system.nas

Code: Select all
####   DHC8 systems   ####
aircraft.livery.init("Aircraft/dhc8/models/Liveries", "sim/model/livery/name", "sim/model/livery/index");


each liveriy has its own .xml file within dhc8/models/Liveries

example ceaero.xml

Code: Select all
<PropertyList>
<sim>
    <model>
        <livery>
            <name type="string">Ceaero Airlines</name>
      <index type="int">1</index>
            <texture>ceaero.rgb</texture>
        </livery>
    </model>
</sim>
</PropertyList>


I would appreciate any thoughts as to why i can't select.

thanks
Alex

HI,
Hmmm...Everything Seems to be Fine.
Just One Check: All textures should be in the folder where the model looks for them, Not necessarily int he Liveries Folder.

Hey Alex,

I wonder why you have two (as far as I know) unneeded (and unnoted on the wiki) things in the systems.nas file:

Code: Select all
aircraft.livery.init("Aircraft/dhc8/models/Liveries", "sim/model/livery/name", "sim/model/livery/index");

Can be replaced by simply

Code: Select all
aircraft.livery.init("Aircraft/dhc8/models/Liveries");


Also, the <index> tag in the livery files can be removed as they are automatically sorted in alphabetical order.

If the above doesn't solve the problem, check if you get any missing texture errors, as Fahim noted.

Cheers,
Gijs

ok, thanks guys,
i edited as you mentioned above, removing the unnecessary lines.
There is only one texture each for the main outer fuselage/wings (all the stuff listed) ie one for bahamas, one for ceaero and one for BA.
They are in the model folder where the dhc8.ac file is.

I've tried again but still no joy :(

Hello,

I just flew from Bermuda Dunes to Palm springs. She flies rock-steady take-off to landing :)
Keep up the good work! :wink:

Maverick, I've checked your livery system and I found the problem. You missed the nasal part in the .xml model file as stated in the wiki (this code loads the actual livery files). Add this code to the dhc-300q.xml fille:

Code: Select all
<nasal>
 <load>
  var livery_update = aircraft.livery_update.new("Aircraft/dhc8/models/Liveries");
 </load>

 <unload>
  livery_update.stop();
 </unload>
</nasal>


Everyone makes mistakes. Luckily it's just a small one. ;)

Model still needs a little smoothing IMO, but it's a lovely plane to fly afterall!

Gijs,
thanks for your help.
I added that code into the dhc8-300q.xml and it still does not work.

are you sure it was that file?
if you definately got it working could you send me that file so i can test it here?

Thanks
Alex
