This is why I hesitate to present any issue on here, as it always turns
into a big deal.

It's only a "big deal" because you wouldn't provide the info. For a while
there I thought you'd not quite understood the question.

I told you I fixed it by installing a different plane
altogether which works just fine. The original one never did appear.
enough about it already.

If you'd just said where "there" was in the first place you wouldn't need to
say "enough .. already".

But it's amusing, right?


I think you misunderstand. I never NEEDED to say anything. I owe no accounting to you or
anyone. Now, I'm going to say this one more time and see if you get it:

I downloaded the PAI 742PW original paint kit from Project AI
I also downloaded the Pan Am textures from the same site.
I installed the PAI 742PW aircraft and set up a new texture folder, "texture.paa" in which I
put the Pan Am textures.

I fixed the aircraft.cfg file to indicate I was using the model.pw, the paa texture files and I
properly named the aircraft PAI B742 PAA and added this to my aircraft.txt file via Traffic
Tools. I then created a flight in AI Traffic Mover for a flight of this plane from SAEZ to
KJFK. According to my flight schedule, I set the departure time from SAEZ at 20:20 GMT
I opened FS2002 and placed myself at SAEZ at 20:18. The aircraft should have been THERE.
It was not. All other aircraft that should have been sitting at SAEZ at that time were THERE.
I cannot account for why this one doesn't appear.

To get a PAA 747 into my AI traffic, I downloaded PAA textures that would coincide with the
default 747. Though not as realistic, this aircraft does appear with no problem. It is not
designed as an AI aircraft, but suffices until I can figure out why the Project AI model
doesn't load in.

Now is there ANY questions still remaining about this neverending subject?
