Old planes, new problem.

[Hampster]

Hi there!

I am currently working on a project in planemaker, and I have spent many hours working on the planes.

As soon as I got the 9.70 update to the sim, all the older 9.62 models including my project won't work, as in the sim crashes everytime I try to open up the plane. I can run the planes in planemaker, and have edited them alot but I can't fly them after I got the 9.7 update... Many other planes that I have downloaded off the net, including my own finished designs, work in the sim. but not my unpainted, unfinished planes.... huh??? X-plane just crashes!

I don't often need tech support, so should I give you a log.txt or something else?

thanks

If ever a plane breaks with an update, Ben Supnik and Austin Meyer always want people to let them know.

Send them a log and they will fix it asap.

I moved the plane into the Aircraft folder, it works fine now, but I will still try to figure out what is wrong. sorry for posting a dud topic.

it works fine for me inside or outside of the Aircraft folder. I wonder if it is a plugin that caused this as when I upgraded to 9.7it kept crashing until I deleted some of my plugins.

I did install X-traffic, but that was after the sim started crashing... It is all good now, but I hope the problem will be fixed in the next update.

It works for me, I can put a plane outside the Aircraft folder and I think that the trouble is causing a plugin (like Ultimate Flier said).

[Hampster]

OK, going to see if that is the problem....

You can actually put a plane everywhere you want.... if you go to plane-maker, than go to special-Batch - convert Aircraft to the latest format

And it should work... you have to wait some time (depends on the number of .acf files in your Aircraft (or even X-Plane) Folder
