Rob and Daniel E.,

I've recently uploaded a model of the BD-6 experimental aircraft to the Airshow but noticed some missing information.  The file is available to download and includes most of the information provided. However, as you can see in the snapshots below, the Author information is not making it into the entry.  The model page itself shows that I uploaded it, yet under my user profile model list, the Author information is missing.  Maybe I just need to logout and back in to reset the connection?

I've also noticed that despite uploading a new file to the model entry by opening the Edit window and adding a new model file (with landing gear), the rendered X3D reflects the model I loaded first (without landing gear). It seems that the X3D is loaded once and is never replaced even if a new file replaces the original.  Normally, I'd just upload the new version as a new entry and delete the old one but for our purposes, we'd like the URL to the reference BD-6 to remain the same.  I've confirmed that the model on Airshow has been updated to the new file. Pulls down as "bd6.vsp3" and includes gear.

Any suggestions about what's going on?

Thanks!

I suspect the landing gear issue is that the Airshow us using an old version of OpenVSP that predates the landing gear component....

Nice BD-6

Ill make a note to review the X3D pipeline this week and see if I can figure out what is going. Also, the author bug is noted.

Can you try to reupload the file again via the Edit model process?

I'll see if I can do that.  I signed out from my NASA account but now the sign-in emails from Airshow aren't coming through my NASA filters. I'll try again.

Update: I've tried the "sign in with email" option with both my work email and personal email.  Did not receive emails in either case after multiple tries.  I can log in using the Google sign in option to my personal profile but that's all.
