oumpf, my faultMJALowe wrote:are you using the keys on the num pad? (usually the far right side of the keyboard), the key should be "." "del"
if its still not working, try pressing num lock once (so that it is turned on) and try again

on my german keyboard, the "del"-button is a "," so it wasn't clear to me...
errare humanum est -.-

Hi,
soirry I have not been able to get back to you... I have been gone dealing with RL issues... I have been able to play some with the model viewer to try and find the problem and I have been able to confirm it... it IS the extra ships I added using Cycrows installer tool.
If I run X3, patched up with full XTM and Ashleys Fabs installed, the model viewer works just fine.. real nice in fact.
But once I add any additional ships, (I like the Prometheus, Deadelus and F302 from Stargate and the USS Missouri battleship and Corsair fighter someone just released) then the viewer craps out. If I remove them, it works fine again.
To try it for yourself, just use Cycrows installer and install some additional ships (probably best to use the same I do) and you will see exactly what takes place.
Let me know if you have any questions and again sorry for my absense.

@THE_BIG_FISH:Leo
I looked at your tships file & everything seems fine, but :
Just found out that having more than one set of cat/dat files in your mods directory
will cause that empty ship list, so if you have more than one set there then try moving any unselected/unused ones
to a new subdirectory of mods, this would be a work around till I find out why.
(possibly some left-in code from the standalone viewer that analyses all mods in that directory).
Hi again Malakie, hope the RL thing is sortable :
I'll make a copy of XTM X3 and try what you just suggested,
I've been a bit wary of plugin manager doing things automatically up til now,
if it's already got an x3 directory in mind, so I haven't tested it directly like I really should have...see what I can find out tomorrow

OK, no Vista, but an GF8 series card,
looking back thru the posts it seems MJALowe did have a very similar prob. with a GF8800,
could you try
http://www.Exogenesis.co.uk/X3_InGame_M ... weTest.exe
(which was a special version that had certain bits of code removed)
It might work OK ....

unsure if its related atm, but my game crashed when I got attacked by pirates with this installed--boom
Otherwise; I could not get it to work, and I noticed that I had another Xmodelviewer hotkey option in my hotkey interface options on first start, +1 on second start.
Uninstalled for now--will try again later though
