    model already used!

    I have notification of a model already being used; in other words by 2 ac, Howver a search only reveals 1 m3d file. If I remove that model from the install, the search reveals no other versions of this m3d file, and that aircraft's folder also only has 1 m3d. Now it is an ai_xxxx version but that should not matter as it still is the only ai_xxx.m3d apparently in the install or that ac folder!

    Ideas??

    It's not that there are duplicate m3d files. It's that there are duplicate xdp references to the m3d.

    Well, I have checked the most likely xdp files w/o result. Is there a better search method to check multiple xdp files?

    ai_gc_he111h3_03, I assume m3d. In any case i used the generic ai_gc_he111h3_03 in my searches.

    I seem to remember a long time ago that there was an He111 hiding in among the Do17 folders.

    Well, I do remember that. Forgive my ignorance, but even if it is in a Do17 folder, shouldn't a search show up any file named ai_gc_he111h3_03.xxx? Also, I was not aware CFS3 looked inside xdp files before fully started up; although I suppose it does since it picks up xdp errors IIRC. Even so, if there was an odd xdp entry calling for ai_gc_he111h3_03xxx, then an error should show up when I have removed all ai_gc_he111h3_03.xxx files form the install?

    Further to above. After taking out batches of ac from the install, I eventually took out all but the one ac, ai_gc_he111h3_03. Still said model already used. Took out vehicles and ships; same.

    I thiought I would solve the problem by renaming ai_gc_he111h3_03 to gc_he111h3_03_ai in the xdp, air,cfg, and model files. Result..."the ai_gc_he111h3_03 or variant did not load properly"!, Once again, no ai_gc_he111h3_03 was revealed in an install folder search!

    Are all of your He-111s showing in your aircraft dropdown menu?

    Yes. In any case would not the search reveal any not showing?

    Did you just search the aircraft-folder or the whole cfs3 folder?

    afaik, the file could be hidden anywhere in CFS3

    I had run into the same issue when making "stand alone" and eventually found that I had not changed the callout to the new model and was asking for the same model twice. I had a devil of a time finding it especially with other nationalities involved

    Ah! Well I check xdp & contents, air, cfg, and m3d. In any case that's not really solving the mystery of another duplicate file(m3d?) nor what happens when I change the files names to xxxx_ai i/o ai_xxx. I may just live with it for now but delete that ai for release if no answer comes to mind.

    Problem or problems solved! FYI, my son apparently uses notepad++ a lot in work and he lead me to 2 good features.

    - It's file content compare is much better!
    - Just this week he told me that one can do a search within a folder to see what duplicate strings might be there. Through this I found things I'd missed in cfg files and even wrongly named items.

    A great app IMHO!

    To clarify my bad sentencing, one can search within all files in a folder for duplicate strings either within one file or within multiple files.
