OK hit me in the head with a large rock..I know I deserve it! recently ( yesterday)became a convert to UP 2.1after using HFSX most of the time, without many problems downloading & installing aircraft, but with UP 2.1 I've hit a roadblock that I just know there is a simple solution to .Just send me to the right post , because I haven't found it..BUT.....
I've tried everything else I know-- put plane in Mods folder & air , plane, weapons info in correct folders in "files" :nada -even on one case a 60% CTD ( yes I know what that means..) next I tried to put Plane folder in JSGME & transfer it to the active side ...again nada.Then a light went on how about the STD folder in the -Mods folder? I put this into the Mods folder with all the correct info & aircraft folder...and still nothing in QMB or seemingly anywhere else. Look I don't want to add every new plane , but just one here or there..I know it must seem like I'm hopeless ..and I probably am, but please someone tell me where to go( you know what I mean..) & I promise I'll remove this thread immediately.
Just remove -
Quotes are just quotes for the post quoting something. Sorry.
-Mods is wrong.
Mods is wright.
Don't add anything to Files, unless you are asked by a true update to do so... This compromise your ability to play on line.
For mods that changes existing stuff, just drop in Mods. For mods that create new stuff/slots: all the editing is done in path Mods/STD/xxx/... where xxx is either i18n or com.
If you have an empty STD (?), copy i18n, gui, com from Files to Mods/STD to create from scratch...
Should fix your avatar . See the rules of site for no active avatars. :!: :mrgreen:

As for the waiting: took 6 months to set up UP2 for all our needs, mods and
corrections; I just don't want to waste time fixing and setting things up again,
and want to actually play the game for now... so ... that is it.
I recommend you proceed, was just to say I can't help with further problems related to UP2.01 since I don't use it.
But I can help with any QMB issues... :wink:

P.S.: Sorry about the avatar rule; ...realy looks great !! I'm no moderator. 8)
Thanks - removed avatar- no problem there.No problem with Maps, QMB,or nearly anything else.I am aware of using Mods folder & its difference from the non working -Mods version. All this is old hat... adding stuff has always been easy & for the most part straight forward & I know this is probably a problem in the way I am trying to add new aircraft, not in Up2.1 at all.It is a great utility.
Here's what I have done , with no success so far: I've tried two aircraft ( aircraft that easily installed in HFSX4.1- so I know they work..) the Ta-183 light & the fully loaded PBY- both from SAS.Lets just take the Ta-183. I put the Hucky folder into Mods. I take the line for air & put it in the Mods/STD/_/_/ air file & I put the line from plane in the Mods/STD/i18n/plane file. No joy.
Where I may be going wrong is here- see if this sounds right: I took the STD folder from the -Mods folder- why there was one there I'm not quite sure( again I blame myself for some earlier slip up..) Maybe I should do as you recommend- create a new STD folder using 1l18n,com,and gui from my File folder,correct so far? I still add the folder for the new plane in the Mods folder & repeat the proceedure for adding new lines in air,plane & weapons ( when I need to.)Now the plane should show up in various places in the game ( I always look for it first in QMB tho...)
May I ask one technical question? Why does the Gui need to be in the STD folder? I will never touch it- I add new buttons to the one in Files, so is it there to somehow make the STD folder operative? Just wondering...
Thanks for your patience , please respond to tell me I'm on the right track...in the meantime I'll give it a try.
