Hi!
Thanks for the service pack! This is what I read from the Customer Service: "If you have added additional liveries above those supplied by default then these will be lost during re-installation of the F-27 Friendship. You will need to re-install these after installation." I did do the uninstall and install process but my additional reapints are there. How do I know if the process went right? Is my Fokker now updated or not?

Easy quick check. Click on the captains seat base - if the armrest vanishes then you have the latest version installed.

If you haven't manually deleted the repaint texture folder(s) from within the F-27 aircraft folders before installing the latest version of the product, and if the creator of the repaint included an 'aircraft.inf' file in the texture folder (which contains the information to be added to the aircraft.cfg), then the installer will restore those repaints and they will be available in the latest software with no further action required. The support text makes the assumption that the texture folders have been deleted and/or the repainter didn't include an aircraft.inf file. |

Absolutely love the service pack. Lot's of very nice fixes. Just flew a flight from PAKT to PAJN. Unfortunately the service pack didn't improve my navigational skills. Inclusion of a default GPS is nice though. At least I won't find Amelia Earhart while I'm learning!
I have one small niggle and almost hate to bring it up seeing all the improvements you've made. I love the new altimeter with the thousand feet mark separate but it should still have two needles for hundreds and tens right? The two needles on mine always move together no matter the altitude. That's not right is it? Or am I missing something about how it works? Wouldn't be a first for me for sure! Keep up the good work and thanks |

Hi Martyn,
Small question, was also the mapping of the bottom antenna's changed? Believe it was "promised". If yes, were is it mapped now. Took a quick scan through the new repaintkit yet could not find it. Thx, Marcel PS "promised" = mentioned on the SOH forum that it would be fixed. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?92474-JF-F27-released!-%2829th-April%29/page6 |

This explains a problem I just had. I left the additional texture folders in place after uninstalling version 1.0 and installed the new version. I got an error when FSX loaded because two paint titles were the same (Ansett). Aircraft.cfg had two entries for the Ansett livery. I thought it was an installer problem but after reading your post I checked the .inf file and found it was actually a copy of the Ansett inf file. So that explained why a second Ansett reference got added. I've corrected the repaint's inf file so this can't happen again. Thanks Kevin |

Thanks very much for the SP, the highlight for me is the new sound pack, perfect match with my memories.
Having done a dozen or so repaints for the F27 I'm concerned to ensure they 'match' model changes. I'm mostly playing 'Spot the Difference' at the moment but I have one specific question. Within the folders 'SIM'\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_Fokker_F27-100 and .... \JF_Fokker_F27-200300, what's the significance and use of the 3 files CfgGenHD2.exe aircraftHD.cfg aircraftSTD.cfg ??? |

It's just a guess but you should have uninstalled the first one using control panel- add/remove programs. Just deleting the folders won't work, as you're probably painfully aware of by now. The steps on how to correct this are honestly beyond me. I probably could do it if I were in front of the machine but I'm not sure how to explain to do it. Maybe someone here can though. Good luck! You'll need to find a way to completely remove both old and new and start from there. A possibility would be to point the installer to a temporary location. See what files it writes in the temp folder and then manually remove those same files from FSX. I know you can do this with freeware planes but I'm not sure if the payware installer that needs to find FSX will let you do that. Again good luck!

I was wondering what the reason for the different cfg files were as well |

I am very happy with the SP .
I had only a problem with the install of the new version . First i deleted with windows the old version . and installed the new one without problems . Then i saw only one 200 / 300 model ( a repaint model ) and 7 100 models ( 3 repaints and 4 default paints ) My repaints and old version are on a external drive . only after several attempts i restored my repaints and the default models and paints . This was only possible after the install of the old , aircraft CFG files , in the new version files , ( the normal way to install the repaints did not work well and left the default paints out . Strange but true , all new things from the SP are still there . The only thing that is a bit off is my HSI and horizon , they have warning flags , that only disappear when i tune and receive a ILS freq . All other things work fine . So i am still a very happy Fokker flyer |

I wish they had made the altimeter a bit larger--more readable.

Re altimeter.... agreed. Very difficult to read, especially in a normal pilot view.
Additionally, why was the actual gauge changed? The previous three pointer type gauge was tricky enough to interpret (as an aside a friend who used to fly F27s for Ansett, said that that altimeter caused a number of incidents in real life), the new single pointer type is very difficult to interpret, the numbers showing the '1000s of feet are waaaay too small. Any chance of a small fix (replacement altimeter gauge say..) Otherwise very happy with SP1, mind you, I was pretty happy before! chris from oz |

Ignore the 'aircraftHD.cfg' and 'aircraftSTD.cfg' files, this aircraft only uses the normal 'aircraft.cfg'. The 'CfgGen' exe is used by the installer to generate entries in the aircraft.cfg for any liveries that contain an 'aircraft.inf' file.

Apologies for the delay. The developer has provided this image showing where the antennas are located:

Hello Martyn,
Thanks for the reply. Did some testing with the NW livery. It works for the mentioned aeriels, yet the initial problem was with the 2 big tube antennas sticking out of the belly. The were (and still are so far i can tell) mapped to the texturepart of the upper fuselage. So if you paint the upper fuselage red, they will show up red. Marcel |
