X-Plane 9 Planes won't load.

[Colin S]

RESOLVED: I had to open them in Plane Maker 9, update to v9 airfoils, then open them in V10 Planemaker and update yet again to the latest airfoils.

 

Please don't tell me it's because they are corrupt from retrieving them from a corrupt hard drive. These ones were the only things backed up on the network.

 

XPFW 757s

717s

707

 

and many more XP9 aircraft are working just find in X-Plane 9 and won't work in X-Plane 10. Any suggestions?

Try updating the airfoils.

Planemaker 10- open, then resave

 

Should work

They're probably XP7 or XP8 aircraft. ( not XP9 ). I know the 757 is definitely an XP8 acft if you recently acquired it from XPFW.

 

 

^^ They even say 8.6 In big bold letters on the download graphic and the plane.png last time I checked.

 

Ryan's remedy is correct.

Did you try in plane maker : special :  "Batch-Convert Aircraft to Latest Format"

Ok I have a new problem... how do you use the XPFW 757 Plugin in X-Plane 10? It's too old - is there a version of this that will allow the engines to not have their thrust reversers permanently deployed?

As it has not been updated in ages someone would have to update the plugin... but it is copyrighted so for personal use only...

Just make the animation in the 757 Nacelles Obj. (No more thrust reversers permanently deployed)
