    Avia 57 Trimotor

    Just curious if anyone is running the Avia 57 in FSX.

    It was one of my favorites in FS9 and I've just re installed into FSX Steam after a reformat in which I pretty much lost all sim files.

    While the Avia 57 looks and flies well in FSX, the thing is I don't have any cargo showing in the bush version ( only cabin seats ).

    It's the same with both the wheeled and float version.

    I've tried all manner of things to make sure there's no mistake in the cfg etc.

    Just wondering if any one else has this.

    Thanks,

    Pete.

    Make sure that the cargo model is cargof and that is being referenced in all the [fltsim] sections of teh float model.

    Also, I think it's the / key to make the cargo show up. The float cargo version is my favorite. I had a lot of fun painting that one.

    There was a fix to that package regarding the cockpit rear wall.

    Full package with fix is here:

    Thanks guys for your help

    The slash key did the trick.

    I've also added fix to the cockpit rear wall and also the new views.

    Now I'm off to deliver more cargo .....

    Love this aircraft

    Pete.
