I have become a SDOE addict since I found all the cool planes and such on sites like SIMFILES.My problem is that when I select some(not all) of the missions or new planes to try them,they start to load then the games just plain vanishes and I'm back to my desk top.I have even tried un-installing SDOE ,then intalling it,then the patch.I then carefully install my plane packs,missions etc. according to the included instructions,TO THE LETTER.
The same problem is still there.Am I missing something?Feel free to e-mail me with any advice you feel may help.

I think the problem you are having is with the Startup.ppf file, this is often modified by builders so tha thier aircraft will work...

Now, what happens is that they include the startup.ppf file in thier installation.. so it over writes yours, which is fine for his aircraft, but it scrubs that changes made from the aircraft you installed before isn't this fun! What should and now more often does happen, is that we add our startup.ppf file to the installation, but have the commonn sense to rename it, like A10startup.ppf and in the Readme file it will explaine that you can eithe rename this file to just starup.ppf and let it overwrote your old one, or how to add the references needed into your own startup.pf file.

Here is my current startup.ppf You should be able to copy this, open yourse and past this over everything there and your aircraft should then all work, but ofcourse, you should check that there aren't some things in yours that aren't in mine first

everything below this line is the startup.ppf
