Help: Custom models are replaced by stock models

Post by cappelmans »

Hi all,

I downloaded a good bunch of custom models and skins for MX sim. This all worked great and looked good until yesterday. When i go online or go time trial, the game is displaying the stock models. This is really weird because my personal folder is still in place. I can still choose a custom model, like the crf and it shows perfectly fine. Only all the other riders show a stock model. Strange stuff!

Does anyone have the same problem? I'm trying to get this fixed but don't know anymore what this issue could be. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Regards,
Jan-Willem

That happens when you don't have the skin a person is using, it displays the default model and skin If you look in the chat it will give you a list of skins that could not be loaded. A lot of the newer bike models have a default skin and model included that should overwrite the stock one but I don't know what models you're using.

Hi Yzmxer, thanks for replying :)

I checked the chat console and it shows this warnings that i can't load models indeed. But the weird part is that i actually installed in the models correct place. It always worked fine but somehow it just stopped working. Rider models seem te be allright. Only the bike models give issues. I use the RPP2 model replacement pack for the bikes and put that folder in the program files -> mx simulator folder where it belongs.

Maybe windows does not have sufficient rights to acces the mx simulator folder in program files?

I can't reproduce it yet.

Thanks for your suggestion, made the issue a bit more clearer.

Cheers,

Just tried to change my rights on the rpp2 folder, it does not make any difference. Even a reinstall of the game does not work. Gear is fine (stuff in personal folder) but the bikes in the rpp2 folder are not read correctly and i just don't get why.
