Ray's B17 skins CTD

Post by Jel »

I am having a problem with both the B17F and B17G skins in your ETO set. It is the same in both cases.
It does not happen with your B24, the B26 or the new B26 multiskin, so I believe that it is a fault somewhere in the B17 files.
I just tried the default B17 skin and there was no problem either.

Symptoms:
If I fly a B17 and scroll to see the port engine and then back to see the starboard engine I get a lock-up and a CTD.
If I press F9 to get the external view and scroll to view in a full circle I get a lock-up and a CTD.
If I fly a 190 and intercept B17s approaching from head on I get a lock-up and a CTD.

I have tried several different exes, and versions of the transparency link files, but it made no difference.

Possible clues:
The scrolling problem disappears if I rename the planeS.3dz as pppplaneS.3d so that the planeS.3dz is not loaded.
However, the 190 intercept problem remains.

Sounds like you have the old M and S files that have hardpoints.

I'm sending you by e-mail updated M and S files without hardpoints.

No problem.

Can't have hardpoints on the middle and far distance models or you get exactly this type of CTD.

Happened with the F1M2 Pete earlier this year.
