General Electric CF680C2-B6F Engine Mod for FF767 1.0.0

Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me on what step i might've messed up or possibly skipped? The new GE engines look like this.

Are you referring to the particles overlapping? I've seen that happen on other planes too, not sure why might be an xplane bug buts not the first time I've seen particles do that. Probably nothing you've done wrong on the mod install so long as you've not changed the coordinates for the particles that were included in Plane Maker.

No, I'm talking about the nosecone spirals. If you look in the first picture they're all messed up in the first pic and I'm not sure what's causing it.

Looks fine to me, its using the Wobbly Ball Nosecone Decal it will be off centre.

I need a bit of help, I can't get the delta livery to work. I have the PNG but I don't know where to put it or what to name I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

The manual has all the information you need to know why to put the livery, so long as you correctly matched the install instructions. Sufficed to say the livery folder structure has to match the folder structure of the default objects folder, if you have not put the livery in the correct folder it will not override the base texture.

Hi very good work, is it possible that the static rotation of the fan in the wind is no longer present? Regards

Depends on whether flightfactor modelled it, if they haven't set Engine 2 in the ACF that no it probably won't I just use flight factors datarefs, if the dataref doesn't change due to wind factor then the mods fans won't either. Not a problem of the mod. 

Okay so I attempted to repaint the engines for an Omni air livery I have, but I am getting an error in XP saying "some textures for your aircraft could not be loaded". I believe I have them installed correctly so I am not sure why they are still not showing up in the sim.

sounds like you may not of saved them as the correct dds I think there is a particular dds format you have to use. Most likely your issue.

Okay thanks got it fixed!

Hi, would you be able to mount these nice engines on the default 747?

That would require new pylons to be modelled, possibly in the future but its not on my immediate list. 

Your engines look awesome, it would be nice for ya to do Pratt & Whitney & Rolls Royce engines for the 757/767 if those are a part of your to-do plans

New issue here after a reinstall. The "missing" file is there so I am not sure what the issue is. It is unedited straight from the download package. Any ideas?

The message is telling you exactly the problem. You inserted a texture file into your acf file/planemaker and f-ed up

Hey all I need some help...so I updated my 767 and it reverted to the old GE engines so I installed the new ones again and it seems that the fan blades are practically see through any way to fix this real quick?

The fast N1 fans are suppose to be some what transparent...

The centre body might still be a little skinny, no? The real one is convex whilst the updated version is concave. (I realise this is a slightly different CF6).

Definitely an improvement but I do feel like the shape is off a little. Thank you very much for your efforts.

 

EDIT: Sorry I just read the first post about it not being a like-for-like and I'm being picky!

Unfortunately you'll never find an engine that will be 100% accurate in Xplane than it is in real world, I try my best to keep as close as possible, but I never pretend to say my engine models are perfect.

That being said this engine was a conversion of the CF6 from the 330 so there would be issues with that conversion, like the cowling and the Fans I'm not 100% fond of myself, the GE is something I may come back to it at one point redo the cowling and fans.

So I think I installed it correctly, but once the #2 engine gets spinning the N1 blades disappear. Not like they go semi transparent because they are spinning so fast, but they are just straight up gone. Any idea why this might be. Other than that great model with great attention to detail, keep up the good work!

Looks like you set some incorrect coordinates in plane maker.

That would probably do it I'll check that when I get home. My excuse is it was like 0100 local when I tried to install it so I was tired. Thanks for the quick response.

Yup that was indeed what it is accidentally put 262 instead of 26.2. Anyway thanks for the great mod also downloaded your NEO engines and they look spectacular. Stay safe out there.
