Hi everyone,
I've been trying to install the FAIB A320 model into Prepar3d V5. However, I've been unsuccessful with it even though I've followed the installation instructions in the read me file included.
I have placed the folders as instructed:
I want to test the Airtours A320 in the sim but no luck.
I have added the required entries in the effects, simobjects and texture cfg files and still no success.
When I open AIFP I see that the MD-80s are installed (which I actually see in the sim). But the A320 AC# shows in red as if it is not installed
757 and 767 are also red but that I understand because I haven't installed those two models yet.
I'm pretty sure I installed everything in their correct folders and have the correct entries in all .cfg files.
Here is my aircraft.cfg:
Is there anything I did wrong with the installation?
I will appreciate any guidance here!
Thanks in advance!
Eduardo
