Mislabeled aircraft

[Helldiver]

I have a problem with aircarft in FSX. They are all mislabeled. It happened all at once Maybe this has been discussed before but it's all new to me. Is there a fix?
Also, has anybody got any news how Razbam's been doing on his Helldiver. It now been a year and I ain't getting any younger. When last I looked it was almost finished.

Mislabeled ? You mean in the aircraft selection list ? If yes, then it's because one of your aircrafts doesn't have any thumbnail file (thumbnail.jpg) in one of its 'texture.*' subfolders.
Check your list, find the plane where the mislabelling starts. That should be the faulty plane.

I've had this before, however when I've come out of FSX and gone back in again, all is well :)

Have you exited then gone back in ?

I had this problem a long while back. I think it was because two of my planes shared the same title in the aircraft.cfg.

Thank you Daube. I found three that were guilty and I promptly got rid of them They were all port overs that weren't all that great.
Also thank you Razbam. It looks like I might get to fly the Helldiver while I'm on this side of the grass.

The only mislabeling I've ever had is from it being improperly labeled in the aircraft.cfg, never from not having a thumbnail pic, (lots of mine don't,) nor from anything else not human caused. When I correct the mislabeling in the cfg, all is well. Whenever I get a major "what's this BIG change??" going on, I reboot the computer, because it has always turned out to be a memory leak in something unrelated to flightsim. And this is with a decent box and Win7.

I'm glad you could identify the problem Helldiver :)

Modelr, I know what you mean, but it seems that some versions of FSX will not behave like others. In my FSX Acceleration, if a plane has a missing thumbnail, I get a generic picture with a '?' mark on it. However, I often see here and there topics on forums about people getting mislabeling instead, like if their FSX wasn't able to generate those generic '?' pictures and shifted the other thumbnails out of their places. I have never understood the reason why. :/
