Flying campaigns

Ok guys--the main CFS2 Talon sim I set up has in the main A/C folder, an A/C folder named "P-38_Lightning" as previously show above. I changed the title in the Air.cfg from P-38G-13 Lightning to P-38G_Lightning and even went into the first mission and changed the player_ name_ string from P-38G-13 Lightning to P-38G_Lightning. In the mission body,The player_aircraft=3952
Did not change the below in the mission body
[unit_type.4]
type_id=3952
unit_family=1
name=P-38G_Lightning
Still failed to initialize
I have looked at this enough over the last two days and unless I still am not following the correct directions,
I think something else is a problem. Maybe the air.file? i don't know how to check that.
I am not an alcohol drinker, but this might drive me there.

I am going into another install to fly for a while or complete my USMC Aces campaign in this one.
May come back in this install next year.

Thanks for ALL the input.

Happy New Year

Does it now show up in free flight ? if yes then the air file should be ok -

....change the a/c folder name to P-38G_Lightening. (enlargement added) All the titles must agree. It appears the folder is named "P-38_Lightening" Not in agreement with the other .air, etc.

It is as you noted, just a typo on my part.

Where can I find David Copey's P-38 FGH models conversion to cfs2?
I may have a corrupted D/L file. Talon readme in his Solomons '43 campaign uses his G model.

Thanks Rami
I have a strange occurrence that I cannot figure out. Just to test out FF in my Talon's PTO. I installed the P-38H and the P-38G in DDC's aircraft and installed another of his --P-38J Jeanne. The P-38H and P-38J showed up in FF and flew just fine. The P-38G which I have been messing with off and on for a week still would not show up.

....just looked at the original file here that Rami posted. If you have the planes installed, straight from there, unless you have the P-38 F installed the "G" plane won't show. The panel and the sound files are ALIASED to the P-38 F!!! Either change the aliases, or put in a panel and sounds in those files.

***Rami*** · January 2nd, 2019, 15:33

Highpockets,

The P-38G model is predicated on use of his P-38F model. The G model is not aliased to the "stock" P-38 F Lightning. It's subtle, but notice the difference...

P-38F_Lightning (DCC version)

P38F_Lightning (Stock version)

The David Copley version has its own panel and sound files. Ergo if you do not include this model, then none of the other (G, H) models will work.

**highpockets** · January 2nd, 2019, 16:30

No wonder!

I did not see the subtleties and the instructions to this dummy were not that clear.

It now works.
All you guys are SURE patient!

Thanks

I had looked at the sound and panel aliases several times and "assumed" it referred to the stock P-38.. You know about the "assume" word.

***Rami*** · January 3rd, 2019, 03:42

Highpockets,

Forgive me for this, but I deliberately sat on my hands for a couple of days to see if other members or you would have the light bulb go off.

I guess next time, I shouldn't wait as long!

**Fibber** · January 3rd, 2019, 04:36

....I couldn't find my original Copley file and it wasn't until I opened the one you referenced that I saw, and remembered, the difference. I have the planes, but I have the Panel and Sounds aliased my own way.
