General Electric CF6-80E1 Engine Mod for JAR330 1.1.1

I haven't seen anyone else with this issue so it might just be something I've done, but I have this wierd gap on my engines where nacells meet. its not there in plane maker but it is in the sim.

You are using old Engine textures on your livery, the textures were updated in 1.1.0 to help painters paint on the engines properly. You may want to get in contact with the livery maker and get them to update their engine livery.

Not entirely sure, but those look like some of my engine liveries, if you read the description right at the top it tells you with version you need, if you download the latest version for the update, it should work

Funny thing is 10 min after I read the reply from cardajowol you posted the updates. all is good now.

Hello,

Got any news about the update for the Iberia livery? Investigating further, I found out that my engines look also gray when I use a livery from "1.1.0 Upwards", and they also look gray even if I paint ge_engine.png all on one color, for example, pink.

I am not running X-Plane on 4K resolution.

Looking at the logs, I found out this, wich confused me even more, but confirms a plausible cause: Texture is not being loaded at all

Re-check which files you are adding in to Plane Maker, there was old files left in the Particles Folder that should not be there, I have removed from the ZIP file, there should be only the GE-Particle files in the Particles Folder. Make sure to only add the "GE Engines/GE Engine N1" Objects from the GE Engines Folder.

Does this work for RW Designs A330 ?

Not currently, something I will look in to in the future.

Looks like a problem with plane maker rather than the mod, looks like some graphical issue thats making the aircraft reference drop down larger than it should be putting it over the 3rd coordinate. Not something i've ever seen before or know how to fix.

I have risen having set the Italian language on the simulator, my words lengthened in fact as soon as I put English the problem was gone

Could you Make NEO Wing?

That is a whole different kettle of fish there, not quite that easy to make.

It's just a matter of window size. Try to make the preview window smaller.

Hello. This mod support V. 4.1R2? Because i have problem with starting the engines

(edited) 

I have read the comments about not starting engines and want to show you my order of installing engines in Plane Maker.

1. I am deleting 2 engine files
2. I create five blank files. To them I connect files from the folder with engines.
3. I expose their values so that they can be found in the right places.
4. Set Shadow Mode for 2 objects, also set "Prefill" for 3 objects.
5. Change the name of the acf file.
6. Save and exit.

I did everything as it was in manual. I also tried not to change the name of the acf file, but it still didn't help.

I've advised many that the mod is visual only if done correct it would have no impact to the mechanics of the plane, the only alternate is that you've done something incorrect in plane maker. DO NOT and I emphasise DO NOT change any names of acf files or any part of the author page in plane maker, this will most likely cause the problems you are seeing. Alot of the SASL/Flight Model/System plugins these planes use usually reference the ACF file, if you change names they usually will stop working.

Now you can either record your steps in a video so I can review and point out any problems, or you can try starting fresh and only editing the misc object page of the acf file in plane maker to add the engines and remove the others. I have also tested this in V4.1R2 and it still works fine. 

The engines do not start using the V2.2
so the mod only work with the V4?

They were tested in V3 and V4 and both are working.

Any chance for PW engines?

I have a question are you going to update the GE engine coverings inside the mod for Swiss, Qantas because I keep having this odd clear see through effect lol.

Thats probably because you're using old liveries that were for previous releases, so you'll need to find updated livery for those airlines. They weren't ones I included in my mod pack.

Anyone know of any liveries working for this newer paintkit version?

Hi guys!

Do you know if we could install this mod into the new a340? The default one are terrible!

Thank you.

THanks for this mod. It looks awesome. The only thing I did was changing the obj from the engines, so I can paint both engines differently.
