Nevermind guys, I found the issue.

Apparently, the "addons" folder in Documents/Aerofly FS 2 is not supported anymore, which explains why the repaints didn't show up

Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue with my user repaints, although they always had worked until now, and installed properly in the Documents/Aerofly FS 2 folder.

They simply don't appear anymore in the aircraft menu, even after renaming the tmr files into "option.tmc" and editing the text content.

Please, can you help me to get my repaints back?

Thanks

Had a brainwave for a messy workaround, but EDDF and LIMC and all the others should now work.

Thank you so much !

Thank you for your answers guys !

Considering the install paths are corrects in my AFS2, the issue is probably what Spit40 said.

Hopefully, you can fix it soon but in the meantime, there are many airports to enjoy already

Hello,

I have an issue with some FSCP airports :

I can select the airports and gates in AFS2 location menu, but I can't see any runways or buidings. The place is totally empty.

This happened with LIMC, LIML and EDDF so far, with ot without Aeroscenery satellite textures, and with ot without cultivation.

I downloaded some others airports to check if it was only those places and I got LFTW and LFML working aswell, as some others FSCP airports I had installed previously.

So, is this problem specific to these airports, or am I missing something to get them working properly? Thanks in advance

I can recommend the Avitype font : https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DL…&CatID=miscmisc

aswell as the Semi-Round variant : http://www.bladerunner900.co.uk/bin/FSX/AV%20S…%20straight.ttf

Then, you only need to skew the text on the left if needed

Actually, soundfiles converted properly with the whole DR400 folder, so I consider the sound issue solved for now as there is a turn around.

I was talking about the livery BMP conversion, which is not the right thread I agree.

That's what I was thinking too, but I couldn't find any trace of the converted files on my computer.

Also, why would the converter use another path than the one that is set in the config.tmc, it wouldn't make sense, isn't it?

It's a bit puzzling but if there is no issue on your side, I need to find what's wrong on mine, there's no other way.

I'll try again with the whole DR400 folder, and I see no reason why these BMP wouldn't be converted if the DR400 ones are converted successfully. I'll try renaming/replacing some of the DR400 bmp's and hopefully it will work.

Again, thanks for your attention and your patience

Yes, I had checked that aswell, and all is correct in there.

I also desinstalled and reinstalled the Aircraft Converter twice to be sure, but no change.

I was hoping the log informations could help but it doesn't seem to provide any clue, does it?

Yes, the DR400 converted fine.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try and report here .

And sorry for the double thread, I simply couldn't delete the first one

So, I managed to convert the wav files along with the DR400 and it worked as intended.

This problem is solved for now.

I also tried with the BMP livery files but that wasn't successful for some reasons.

So, I still need to find a way to convert those files.

I guess the converter is working for you but what could be wrong on my side, I'm wondering ?

Thank for your help anyway

Hi,

Second problem with the AFS2 Aircraft Converter for me today (see my livery conversion issues here :

I cannot convert some A320 sounds I created, the files format is correct and the 3 dr400 needed files are in my folder.

Aircraft Converter only creates an empty folder in "Documents\Aerofly FS 2\aircraft" and that's it.

Here's the log if someone can help, that would be great. Thanks !

tm_aircraft_converter.log

Hello, same problem for me.

I just finished an Air France 747-400 livery (1995 era) but the Aircraft converter won't convert the BMP files nor create the livery folder in "Documents\Aerofly FS 2\aircraft\b747".

Looks like this function is not working anymore with the last SDK.

A shame as I have a few more 747 liveries in the works.

Could someone look at it please ? Thanks !
tm_aircraft_converter.log

Finally, I managed to convert my Air France 747 textures, inside the whole DR400 folder, and by renaming the 747 bmp's with some dr400 textures names.

So, the converter works for me but only with the whole DR400 folder for some reason.

Also, it takes a bit of renaming/replacing work before and after conversion but if there's no other solution for now, it's better than nothing.

Sadly, I cannot share the livery as I cannot generate the preview.ttx file, unless you know a solution about it.

I also have several Corsair 747 liveries and more in the pipeline, would be cool to be able to share them with you guys.

Apparently, I'm not the only one having this livery conversion issue. Is there a chance to see this problem fixed at some point?

I know the repainters community is not big and not extremely active in AFS2, but with this kind of blocking issue on the way, we might not see new liveries coming anymore, which would be a shame imho.

Mostly old stuff but one can dream :

- Airbus A300 B2

- Dassault Mercure

- Sud-Aviation Caravelle

- De Havilland Comet (DH 106)

- Nord 262

- Transall C-160

- Nord 2501 Noratlas

- Douglas DC-10

- Socata Rallye

- ATR 42

- Dassault Mystère 20

- Sud-Aviation Alouette III

- SA330 Puma

Yea, it's hard to please everyone, but even with my very limited skills, I managed to fly the Q400, so I'm sure the beginners will be happy with this superb propliner.

IPACS really excelled here

Yes, thank you for the tip, I was indeed parked at a gate, so my plane was logically stalled. In the meantime, I found how to start the engines and I can now fly it normally. Thanks again for the help

Could we have a quick explanation of how to start the Q400 please? I wanted to fly it but the engines are off by default and didn't find the way to move the fuel levers I must say that I usually fly in a very easy way, never cold and dark, no systems, and only using basic instruments (I know, it's wrong but that's what I enjoyed in AFS2 so far, the simplicity)..

Awesome news! Thanks!
