I think I got the Model right. Its the silver one with the ball turret in the nose. I spawn into a scramble mission (Ubi Net Islands I think)and it seems to be spawning with the gear up so it just crashes to the ground. I dug around on the boards but couldn't find anything on this issue. This is my Favorite Bomber in the game and would really love it to work. Thanks for any help!!

maybe read the documentation for the B-24 CF100 mod that comes with the newest parts of WAW - you will find the solution there! (btw that´s what readme files and text files are there for, alternatively, there is something in the JSGME folder which might be of interest for you!)

Maybe there is confusion with B-24D-140-CO ? I think it's about B-24J 100CF... The log file content would be of use, as mine shows (for a 'no landing gear showing' problem) :

Code: [Select]

INTERNAL ERROR: HierMesh: Can't find chunk 'BL_Vert'
INTERNAL ERROR: HierMesh: Can't find chunk 'BL_Horiz'

So, may I suggest to include this mod wheels in CUP, if it's necessary for the B-24J to work since B-24D 140-CO joined the pack, even not activated in JSGME... ?

the problem is a different one: with the 3d mod for the B-24J there come 2 classfiles IIRC that are not compatible with the other Libs;
and the B-24D mod also contains one classfile that is problematic; (the one you can shift in and out with JSGME)
so basically you get either the new B-24s and no other Libs or you use the old ones but do not get the goodies of the newer ones...
I use a B-24D mod that I cobbled together myself and have the new B-24D working as well as all other released Libs and PB4Ys, but the B-24J mod does not cooperate...

so its either the new J model or the other Libs....I know what I like more....

I wasn't aware of new B-24J 3D mod, so I'll investigate further

My problem was more like 'only the new B-24D works, nevermind activated or not'  So...I now guess something went wrong with my install. Thank you for your help !

For what it's worth, in my install, only the B24D-140-CO has working gears irrespective of whether or not the JSGME mod is employed.

Its the B24 CF100 that is my issue. Its Spawning with the gear up and I ALWAYS do scramble missions. I have no wish to fly the other B24's. Thanks for everyone who was not condescending and tried to help. Seems to be ALOT of Confusion in the B24's with issues. After spending 4+ hours installing and getting things to work proper, as I have a Unique Computer setup, I was hoping for a quick solution. I will Figure it out myself eventually.

One Other thing, since I don't post to often. I would Like to thank the SAS team and ALL those involved with making and trying to unify the mods for this great game! When I do a new computer build, this is the first game install I do.

Keep up the good work y'all and Salute From Texas!

Skiiwa, are you certain that the plane spawns with the wheels up or does it simply explode at startup? It is counter-intuitive, but if any aircraft in your mission has an invalid loadout, your plane will explode at startup with symptoms similar to what you describe. Loadouts in CUP are different than stock, and may even change as you update CUP itself.

Posting your log would help to identify the issue.

[Griffon_301]

Ehm vonofterdingen thats no loadout issue!
For more info read thru the release thread of the converted 4.13 B-24...
Solution can be found there as well...in my install I use a different B-24D setup than is included in CUP and have all the Libs working....

Okay (thank you Griffon_301 !) so...reading ALL the comments in the thread, I found out that this mod :
(https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,46777.msg520019.html#msg520019)
solved the B-24J problem. By the way, I wasn't aware of this 3d relook mod, so I assumed it was about the new wheels texture mod... and I was wrong.

I installed this 3d relook mod in my CUP install and scramble (i.e. B-24J landing gear) does work now ; not for the 'old' B-24D but, as you said, I know what I like more    It makes me wonder if anyone else with C.U.P. needs this mod to have the B-24J working as it should (I guess CUP is about solving this kind of compatibility problems), or if this mod is already included and we accidentally just got a corrupted download.
