This is a continuation of an older thread now defunct; I finally got Aviaskins's marvellous updatable static aircraft mod working! I installed the mod, DID NOT disable the static aircraft mod (the later one, with Cirx's inclusions of 4.09m aircraft) and copied to my stationary and technics.ini files (STD folder) ONLY the lines of the aircraft that interest me (in my case, all tropical Hurris, the Lancaster, Halifax, the Typhoon, all PZLs, the C-32 quater, and the Bf109B2). I copy/pasted the lines in the relevant sections in both .ini files and not under any new heading. I now have all these aircraft as stationary. I hope this will be useful to anyone interested. Congratulations once again to our Russian mates for an excellent mod!

yes, this is fine mod, but I have problems with the last update - Lancaster, MiG-17 are seen in FMB menu but I can't select them

[cgagan]

Can't tell about the Mig; I am no fan of jet aircraft so I haven't installed any of them; the Lancaster though should appear and be selectable; check your stationary.ini and technics.ini lines again, perhaps you are missing something.

cgagan...  do you know if this will work with UP.200?

Sorry to bug ya ,but where can I find this "Aviaskins's static aircraft mod" Thanks in advance

[KiwiBiggles]

It's a tad tricky 'cos its all in Russian.  I find a Vodka shot first helps...

DOWNLOAD LINK

http://forum.aviaskins.com/showthread.php?t=1208

The download links are at the bottom of post one (at least I think that's them!  ).

It helps to use Google translate, just enter the webpage url and set it to translate from Russian to English, Google will put a frame around and automatically translate whichever Aviaskins pages you visit.

Hope that helps.

Hi cgagan,

I installed the mod, DID NOT disable the static aircraft mod (the later one, with Cirx's inclusions of 4.09m aircraft).

Here, do you mean the '[MOD] Static Aircraft installer ver1.6 *UPDATE*' - 'Static_AC_v1_6_IL2_MOD.rar' from AAA?

Or is there another static aircraft mod somewhere that we need?

@uscstaylor:  I was just looking at the 'How can I change the static planes skins?' tutorial, good stuff!  I'll give that a go too; I already have vpMedia's SKINMOD, but I might need some advice here as well...

Thanks

If somebody could walk me through this, I'd appreciate it.

I placed the static a/c folder in the MODS folder
  copied & pasted the list of a/c to the bottom of the stationary.ini file in the STD folder
  copied & pasted the list of a/c to the bottom of technics.ini file in the STD folder
None of the new a/c show up in my list of stationary a/c.
Where did I go wrong. Any help appreciated.

hey Duffy's Tavern,

I'm just chucking ideas around here as I haven't tried the install myself yet...

If I'm getting the right drift from cgagan he has the AAA static aircraft MOD in his MODS folder, as well as the Aviaskins one?  Do you have both too?  If not, maybe it's the case that there is a class file or somesuch in the AAA mod that 'enables' the modded static aircraft in-game?

And my read of it is you must have the aircraft mod installed before the static aircraft will show up (I'm sure you figured that already).

Dunno, just thinking out loud like...

Edit: ...or try what Gerax said! 

If I get time I'll try this tonite myself.
Hope you get it sorted.

No, it does n.t work this way; as I stated in my first post, I copied all lines related to the planes I wanted in the relevant sections of my stationary.ini and technics.ini files (where the other stationary planes appear). Aviaskins static aircraft mod appears first in my MODS folder, immediately before AAA's static aircraft mod, enhanced by Cirx with the arrival of patch 4.09. I did not disable that mod, and I too get duplicate planes (the spit1 appears twice, as I installed it now, but it did not show before), perhaps the two mods complement each other, but I wouldn't know...
