Addon Doesn't Load In Editor Preview

[abs 2]

Hi all,

I'm working on bringing one of my addons in to the game, and so far I have it so that it actually shows up in the editor on the side that I want with my custom faction, but no matter what I do it doesn't show up in the preview. I'm thinking it's a config issue, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyone who has worked on planes before got any ideas?

Here is my config:

#define true    1#define false    0


enum {
DESTRUCTENGINE = 2,
DESTRUCTDEFAULT = 6,
DESTRUCTWRECK = 7,
DESTRUCTTREE = 3,
DESTRUCTTENT = 4,
STABILIZEDINAXISX = 1,
STABILIZEDINAXESXYZ = 4,
STABILIZEDINAXISY = 2,
STABILIZEDINAXESBOTH = 3,
DESTRUCTNO = 0,
STABILIZEDINAXESNONE = 0,
DESTRUCTMAN = 5,
DESTRUCTBUILDING = 1,
};

Any help is much appreciated.

Edit: I should add that there are no errors regarding this addon in the rpt file.

Solved.

Not sure but... I just checked and isnt it suppose to be "side = TWest;" not "side = TWestwe;" ? if not never knew you could make your own sides :P

[abs 2]

Good catch...but that wasn't it. Also, I find it strange that despite that typo it actually showed up in the correct side. :/

So I guess it kinda worked out since you wrote "it actually showed up in the correct side" well if not, newbie like me tried his best ;)

[abs 2]

Yea, like I said...It shows up in the editor under Blue > Federation > Starfleet Ships, etc...but the moment I click on preview I don't see it. If I make myself the unit, then I get this camera view of the island from really high in the sky, with no units in sight.

Meh....solved it myself, finally. Had to add the class of Plane to cfgVehicles.

class CfgVehicles
{ 
  class AllVehicles; // External class reference 
  class Air; // External class reference 
  class Plane; 
  class ClassFShuttle: Plane 
  {

Just thought I'd add it here for anyone else who came across this thread.
