| How to install HJG aircraft to FSX |
| HJG aircraft were intended for
FS9 but will work well in FSX. They can be a tad tricky to install but it's not difficult once you get used to the procedure. Step one. First you need to
download & install the Base Pack. This is the aircraft
without textures. I'm using the Boeing
707-138B (Early) for this example. Paste the folder named
HJG Boeing 707-138B_early v7 into your Step two is to download &
install a texture. I'm using the Pacific Western 1969 livery for
this example. Paste the folder named texture.707-138B_Pacific_Western_Airlines_cf-pwv_1969
from the downloaded file into the main folder of your 707. This
is how it should look |
| Step 3. An Aircraft.cfg file for
FSX is included. Before continuing you should delete the file
named Aircraft.cfg before renaming aircraft_fsx.cfg to aircraft.cfg
Make sure the file name is correct. (The case is not important.) |
| Step 4. The chosen texture can
now be added to the aircraft.cfg file as a new variation. Open the file named add to aircraft.txt in Notepad & copy the complete text. Now open the 707 aircraft.cfg in Notepad & paste the text into it like this |
| Change the [fltsim.XX] entry to
the next number in sequence. As this is the first variation of
this aircraft the number will be [fltsim.0] |
Exit Notepad saving changes when prompted. The aircraft & texture are now installed & should be listed on the FSX Free Flight aircraft selection menu.
Note: There is no thumbnail image at
this stage. This can be added later if you wish to keep the aircraft.
Note that it uses the Boeing 747 panel & there
is no sound. The sound is aliased to the FS9 default B737-400. In FSX
this is the later B737-800.
The correct panel & sound files can
be downloaded from the HJG website & installed later.
A quick fix so you can check the aircraft out would be to edit the Sound.cfg file like this:
[fltsim]
alias=B737_800\sound
