Hmpf.. FS crashes when I’m trying to use the new planes. I only get the Zero to work!

I’m reading all over the Net about fixed FM’s in FS, but the planes are still way to easy to steer and doesn’t seem to weight much at all? I find the FM on the B17 to be acceptable, but not on any fighter.

Yes I got the latest patch and the original CD!

Hilmer,
you finaly have to add some special entries to your startup.ppf in the fightersquadron/media folder to use some of the new planes. Otherwise FS causes a ctd if you try to start a mission with one of them. Since I have most of the custommade planes in use, just replace the stuff in your ppf-file by the following lines:

Geeezus, ok thanks pal By the way, do you know how I can replace the skins on the default planes?

Sure, simply download a skin of your choice from your favorite FS-Website and copy it into a folder named e.g. fighter squadron/media/aircrafts/fw190a/textures. It´s as simple as it

To edit an default skin you have to extract it from the *.par files in your /media-folder using an editor offered by Parsoft (don´t know the URL). The skins are simple *.tif-files, so you can edit them with PSP or an other adequate software. Enjoy!

Check the War Paint Factory site, it has skin and texturing tutorials.

but if you'd actually fully updated your version of FS then you wouldn't have to add all that to the ppf file, and all the aircraft would work properly

Try getting Plane Pack 5.3b and contest pack 1.1, then you'll have everything uptodate
