• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,

I cant get my 4 engine prop plane into a server because the server doesnt have anything to substitute it for. Therefore is there a way to say make the engines look like a 747 to the server but not act as them so it can get into game?
 
I know this does'nt help the issue here but I have the same issue with using the L188 and P3 orion when trying to join multiplayer sessions.

You could try and modify the model.cfg to the name of the 747's setup maybe? so that the server thinks that its a 747-400 model joining the server instead of some anonymous model that it doesnt have. Thats one alternative.... you can do this by going to the aircraft folder you want to fly with....in this case your 4 prop plane and then go to the model folder and opening model.cfg with notepad and renaming everything exactly like the 747's model.cfg and save it. You will also have to rename the model names too as the 747's names etc. That should get you into a session with your plane... I have'nt tried it yet...but it don't see why it should'nt work? Come to think of it!... I am going to try it out myself and see if it works. Try it out... Good luck :)
 
That did'nt seem to work for me but what you can try also is making a copy of the 747 aircraft folder and replacing your four prop planes files with the 747's and naming all the files to the names of the 747. Try that and if that does'nt work then you can probably google something better up. Another solution is by having the server host install the same planes that you have. If you do find a better solution to a fix for this.....please let me know so I can fix mine as well :)
 
I tried google and couldn't find anything... Also having the server host the files just makes everyone else who hasnt got the plane see an invisible plane which isnt very handy... any other ideas?
