Hi there is no thumbnail image in FSX where you select the aircraft from and therefore it is impossible to select an aircarft that is not in the aircraft menu,
I hope this helps Graeme

I think you forgot to use administrator's rights when you installed that aircraft. See if you can re-install it again using administrator's rights.

Hi Graeme,
The problem is in the Aircraft config file. Go to you plne folder in FSX and open the "aircraft.cfg" file. You will see this (below) Edit the line markeded in red

Hi Frank,
for some unknown reason I cannot get the CVA dash8-200 to show up in the aircraft menu, I do however own the Dash8-300 by Majestic, so I will just have to learn how to fly the Dash 8-300 all the best Graeme

Did you de-activate DX-10 option in FSX?

And please take look at exciting Departures and Arrivals subforum of CVA forums for details of thrilling weekly CVA events.

Try this, when you open the "Select Aircraft" window, make sure that "Show all variations" is ticked.

Hi Frank I have already tried that as well but I do not understand what DX10 has to do with it or how to disable or enable it?

Regards Graeme

Some people complained that they did not see downloaded and installed add-on planes on the FSX aircraft selection list but when they de-activated DX10 option, the planes appeared fine.

Disable or enable DX10 option is in settings of FSX. I have mine disabled.

One more thing to check for me.
Look into the directory bla,bla,bla\SimObjects\Airplanes\CVA_DHC_Q82\Texture.CVA
see if you have a file thumbnail.jpg

Thanks
