Parked aeroplanes seem to disappear

Postby kolaf » Tue Apr 24, 2012 6:44 pm

I think the problem with parked planes. When selecting another one it asks me if I want to store it, and then I see it in the list of other parked aircraft. However, then next time I start the program that parked aircraft seems to have disappeared. Is this because I'm using the demo version, or am I doing something else wrong? I mess a lot around with my configuration files for the flight simulator, but this shouldn't be a problem I assume?

I'm still using it with P3D.

There is a checkbox on the flight gen page, hide parked, uncheck it, if you park on an official parking place or on a runway they won't show else. Else it is because it is not ready for P3D.

Thanks, but I don't think I was clear enough. I do not mean the parked aircraft inside the simulator, I mean in the aircraft selection screen. I save the party position of a given plane, and after a few rounds with other aeroplanes it disappears. Seeing as this doesn't extend all the simulator I don't think that is the problem. Probably I'm doing something wrong when switching between the aeroplanes to make my old parking positions disappear?

Also, I notice often that after completing a flight successfully I get the flight summary screen with a score, but the flight does not seem to be recorded when they click that left arrow on the screen. I've done some crazy stunts on my past flights, so the score has been zero, maybe that has something to do with it? I seem to recall getting the checkmark that I may click on the same screen at other times.

A small update.

When I look at my profile screen I have a parked aircraft available (turbine Duke), but from the aircraft selection screen it says no parked aircraft available.

The profile screen shows all the parked, the aircraft screen shows only parked for the current airport.
Perhaps that is it...

Ohhh, thanks :-p

What is weird, though, is that after I completed a new flight, change the aircraft to force it to save the current one, I still only had one saved in my profile screen (a different one from before, the one I just used).

On another note, suddenly the ideal flight menus have appeared in P3D and seemed to be functioning, at least "exit to assessment".

Hehe, we'll have to wait for me to code it all properly for P3D, but it seems you are having a lot of fun already with it.

When you choose a parked aircraft, it no longer appears as parked, or rather it does not appear in the list.

Never mind, I'm sorry to say that this discussion is based on user error. I did not realise that the aircraft were sorted under their respective airports in the profile screen. Perhaps it is time to read the manual once more :-/

Anyway, thanks for your excellent and prompt support. This alone is reason enough for me to fork out the cash for the tool.

Thanks, I'm just in all that help stuff trying to make things clearer, and upgrading the UI and so on. It's all useful to the project. :D
