737 Upgraded Cockpit has no center pedestal

[jjclobo]

I've just installed this addon and found that it loads the panel without Yoke and Center pedestal textures and commands.
It only shows radio frequencies floating in the air.

Has any one got this problem and solved it?

Thanks for any help.

maybe its been a millions downlaods of this add on and this is the first time I heard this


I made and upgrade cockpit to improve the FSX defaults 737 and 747 only , not for others to grab it and pack it redistribuited into any other airplane model , (this is in case you downlaod it somewhere else having another exterior model)

this is what you supposed to install and it will be installed only in the FSX default 737-800

 what you describe seems to me like there is no interior textures in the 737-800

Thanks Alex for your reply.

This is the exact download I've installed and for FSX 737-800.
It loads Main and Header panels all right. FMS works fine. But it doesen't load textures for center pedestal an yoke. Not even its structures. The radio frequencies digits apear floating.

I run FSX in a Windows 7 SP1 workstation. Have very good performance.
I really will appretiate to use your Add On.

Thanks again

the missing texture will be the "B737_800_3_C.dds" this is the one of the yoke and pedestal ,but I'm sure is there in your aircraft/737-700/texture(s) folder, try to fix or repair your FSX instalation by insert your DVD1 , It will put back the original default as it came the 737-800 ,the lack of textures will make objects invisible, the radio its a gauge that's why you can see it, THIS WILL REPLACE ALL THE CORRUPTED FILES ,it can also remove or damage other instalation like paywares sceneries and aircrafts..

This look to me like one of the basic textures from the main texture folder are missing ,so try to repair ,its weird why you can see the glareshield...you shouldn't be able to see it either

careful with some others add-on it can also make weird things

let me know how it goes with the fix

Thanks for the tip Alex.

I went through the Texture file within Boeing 737-800 folder and found two files renamed to .$$A. B737_800_3_C and B737_800_C. I renamed them back to .dds and all start working correctly.
I don't know if this renaming process occured during add-on installation or if FSX some how did it when I first loaded the aircraft.

Thanks again.
