Adding a Delta Glider III

[IceCoder]

Hi all, I have a technical problem with the game:

I installed DG III, but while playing i cannot add a delta glider III ship, so i added a .cfg file and now i can add it. but
even if it adds the object and the cockpit, it does not load the external model...so i can't see it!!

anyone got a solution?

Did you run the DG3 installer or did you install it manually?  The DG3 installer is very good and should handle everything
for you.  

Try loading one of the pre-installed DG3 scenarios -- look in the Scenarios -> DeltaGliderIII folder.

well, i used the installer and all is clear, everything works properly, but as i told in my last post, when i try to add a
new DGIII using the Scenario editor, it loads everything but the external model...

this is the file I added to the ./config/vessels/ directory, it's name is "DeltaGliderIII.cfg":

; === Configuration file for vessel class DeltaGlider ===
ClassName = DeltaGliderIII
Module = DeltaGliderIII
EditorModule = DeltaGliderIII
Help = DeltaGliderIII,DeltaGliderIII

is there any error??

Well. The scenario editor is a new add-on of the creator of Orbiter.. And perhaps it's a bug. You have to do "the old fashion
way"... ==> Wordpad !

OK.  Here's how to fix it:

Add a delta-gliderIII with the scenario editor.  Don't worry (yet!) if the model isn't visible in the outside view.

Go to panel view and pause the game.

Use the scenario editor to change the DGIII's location to somewhere simple (brighton beach, ksc, etc.)

Turn on the epu and batt.

Now turn the apu and follow the checklist on unsetting safe mode.

Now quicksave your scenario.

Exit orbiter.

Load your scenario that you just saved.

The dgIII visual model should be there.
