It doesn't make sense to configure -set.xml files for the non-gpl'd aircraft in the default install of a gpl'd flight simulator. But it has been done the last couple of releases. If we do it that way then we should have a model-not-found-default-model. Currently, if you remove the model tag from the -set.xml file, you'll get a cessna 172.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Failed to load 3D model
we used to fall back to the glider model I mentioned this problem already several weeks ago but nobody was interested in it. Now as the subject comes up again I'd second the desire for a fallback to the glider - as we were used to have before for very long time, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

In PLIB's UL package there is a function bool ulFileExists ( const char *fileName ) ; So, it could be as easy as (pseudocode) if ulFileExists(model) ssgLoad(model); else ssgLoad(BlueGilder.ac); Bye bye, Wolfram. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Sounds like a good idea. If I'm not mistaken the last release does not run if you type in --aircraft=747-yasim because a model that doesn't exist is spec'd in the -set.xml file.

That's simply a matter of catching the exception in the model manager and substituting the glider path. Do we want to do that for *all* missing models, or just the aircraft? For starters, I'd say just use this as a fall back for the aircraft. Or, as Alex suggested, we could come up with a simple/ugly box that is unique enough to be readily seen as the missing model box. Then we could use it as the fallback for any model.
