.p3d corruption

[lordhorus]

i have a .p3d model but it seems to have been corrupted :-\ does anybody know how to restore a corrupted file? or do i have to start all over with the model.

when i load the model in the OPF editor it pops back to the desktop.

plz help me obi wan kenobi your my only hope ;D

its only corrupt, because you havent finished the model........ in oxygen
maybe due to the fact that you have completely missed out the either one of these LODS listed below:
geometry
fire geometry
memory
hit points
pilots view
gunners view
commanders view
if any of these isnt understood either open up and look at other models de-pboed obviously and see what they have put (has to be similar to your model)

strange i havent had this before, i dont want to make the entire model and find out that its al been for nothing. you know what i mean :-\

even without these lods the model should work! or else i cant even preview what im creating

[swift88]

are we talking about previw in O2, well thats not to deal with the problem, as said before, its the lods stated above, because they are needed if its a moving vehicle for instance......... otherwise it wont work plane and simple........... oh maybe it may be down to the fact that you havent added proxys

[lordhorus]

Great! you where right Swift, seems that you have to have these lods when dealing with a large addon, seems that some smaller addons can be previewd in the editor without some of these lods.

thankz a lot everything is working fine now.
