I edited a model (xfv1) with paredit... - but it is invisible whe i fly it

[squashmypastry]

I recently edited the xfv-1 model, I saved it next to the regular xfv-1 model, and loaded it in fms, but it had disapeared! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

If you wanna know what I changes I made...

I made the Wingspan (called "span" in paredit) of the right and left wing bigger (from I think .56 to 1.90), the fin's "span" from .36 to 1.36, and I changed the "propellerX (+=forward)" thing from .58 (motor 1) and .52 (motor 2) to 1.58 (motor 1) and 1.52 (motor 2).

Other than that, I didn't change a thing.

Thanks

PS- Does Anyone know where the older paredit is? I need it.

You have to copy the entire set of model files to the new .par's modelname. So if the new one is called xfv-1a.par, you'll need new xfv-1a .x, .bmp, .wav _prv.jpg, etc. You'll also need to edit the .x file to change the name of the image map (.bmp) file.

I made the same .par changes to the XFV-1 and it flew just fine. A little weird with those big wings, but it flew.

you know there is an easier way to do this, simply move xfv1-plane files into it's own folder, then copy that folder...
that seems to work the best for me.

You can also hack away at the .par file and then download the original from my website if you want the old one back.
