AIRCRAFT INFO

When I right click the database of an aircraft a drop down menu appears. One of the choices in that drop down menu is "Aircraft Info". I used to be informed of that info but, recently I get no response. A message = "type code not found in database" comes up for every aircraft that I request.

 

Help!!!!

 

Many thanks

 

Peter

My best guess is that your aircraft_info.dat file got deleted or corrupted. It should be in "My Docomeents\VRC". If it's not there, try reinstalling VRC.

Ross, is it possible to add an unknown type aircraft in the file? I have attempted it but have been unsuccessful.

Sure, it's just a tab-delimited text file.

Thank Ross, I did get it working. Now, is there a dot command or other way to reload the aircraft info database on the fly without having to stop and restart VRC?

 

 

Thanks

Mark
