Another snafu

I'm trying to get Stewart Green's Sopwith "cuckoo" to show up on an install with no errors. I have everything I need in place, except for this wonderful plane. I have it installed on 2 other installs of cfs2 with no problems. those installs are basically one for testing and another before I put anything in my precious main install. When I try it out in the main install I get errors, I'm guessing from the torpedo. Your basic messages (can't find the weapon) where you can click them away and fly the plane to more severe, where you cannot continue. With the messages you can play through, I can see the torpedo and drop it.

In the testing installs everything works and I have the weapon installed as instructed. In the main install, problem starts in the scenedb area. I can put the entries in the scenery file and I will be able to fly with the free flight messages. When the other file is put into the texture area, I get the database message and cannot continue, just get the message over and over again.

I really want this because of the torpedo. I know there are a couple of others, but I think this is the nicest. I believe mission builder is not going to put up with these errors. The dang thing works great everywhere except where I really need it!

Any ideas? The hurricane is almost upon us, it's time to stay off the computers.

Cheers all .... Rick

Rick,

Have you deleted the CDP from the Cuckoo? If you have and you are still gettng error messages, what do the messages say?

To see whether there is a problem with the torpedo try adding it to the loadout for another torpedo bomber.
Probably a dumb question but have you checked that all the files for the torpedo are loaded in your main install?

Hope that you are in a safe place.

One more thing you may want to try is deleting the filelist.dat file in the SceneDb folder.

Combat Flight Simulator 2\SCENEDB\weapons\scenery\filelist.dat

Edit; Put these files in your mainCombat Flight Simulator 2 folder. Double click each, one at a time. They will clean out any corrupted files.
I just tested them in Win 10 and these worked with no problems. They were made by Lindsay some years back and are a very useful tool.

I use the cleaner files all the time.

Here is one more that will remove the *_INDEX files from the sim- just in case you want to perform a full-tilt purging on the old girl!

Cheers,

Hi folks! I got power back about an hour ago. It really sucks when you got no water, power, or toys to play with. I'm dead tired now, been cutting downed trees, all the fun stuff! I have NEVER been more scared in my life. I have never seen water rise so fast (and recede). Forgive me for saying this, but a Higher Power must have heard my prayers. trees missed my house by inches, not feet, inches! A tree moved a piece of siding on my shed. All I have to do is shift it a little put a little nail in it and it's fixed. My house was shaking, I'm stilling praying that everything is ok. I can walk about 10 minutes up the street and it looks like nothing happened. I guess I can say i was lucky enough to see the eye. Not a leaf was moving, I could see the moon and blue sky. About 20 hawks flew by, never saw a "flock" of hawks before. Then the wind came back from the north. The second half was not so bad. After it was over, I wondered how anyone or anything could survive that beast when it was a 5. I have to take care of my place first, but I will always try to help others, even if it's only 20 bucks.

Thanks for all the info folks. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. I may have missed something. There's just no reason for it not to work with no problems.

Cheers All .... Rick
