Ahh!! 3D model dependancies

[Octal450]

So I have been working on my MD-11, and come across a problem that I cannot find. This aircraft is based off the original MD-11, and I went through every XML, and NASAL file to change the name of the folder from MD-11 to MD-11, and also checked the model files to make sure they were not corrupt --> nothing.

Here is the problem --> When I leave the original MD-11 in my Aircraft folder, then it works normally, but when I remove or rename the original MD-11 to check dependencies, where the shadow would be on the exterior model, or any part that is slightly darker due to shadows, buildings, etc, becomes EXTREMELY dark, and makes the whole plane look quite rubbish, So I know that this is a dependency issue. I did my testing on KNUQ 32L at 12:00 time setting.


Any ideas???

Are you using Rembrandt?

[Octal450]

No, this is NOT a Rembrandt issue.

I've tried to test it in FG 2.8.0.5 but I couldn't because FG crashed before it was loaded with this error:

loadxml: Cannot find XML property file 'Aircraft/MD-11X/Systems/doors-dlg.xml'.
Nasal runtime error: Dialog class: XML dialog must have <name> at C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Nasal/gui.nas, line 352 called from: C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Nasal/gui.nas, line 332 called from: C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Nasal/globals.nas, line 100

YASim SOLUTION FAILURE:
Solution failed to converge after 10000 iterations

I'm Trying to troubleshoot it, cause I have no problems with the original MD-11.

Btw: Happy new year!!!

Edit: solved the part with the strike through,in the systems.nas one word has to be changed from MD-11X into MD-11-200NG.

Another edit: I have removed the the other MD-11 but used that FDM to test the MD-11-200NG and FG started as it should be. So there are some problems with the FDM. And I didn't found any problems with shadows.

[Octal450]

Roger, thanks. Be advised: I used FG 3.4. I didn't touch the FDM yet, so I don't know WTF that is. Also, I fixed that thing about changing the MD-11X name, maybe my Github is not up to date, I'll commit tomorrow.

The FDM is the thing that makes the plane fly. It tells FlightGear all the stuff about the wing, tail, lift, drag, and all that stuff.

[Octal450]

Yes, I know, but this is a RENDERING issue, not a FDM issue. (I think at least.)
