I've been trying to get the GTMI Aule model (linked from the Wiki) to work in FRED and it's not playing nicely.

I keep getting the error where subsystems between the model and the .tbl file aren't matching up, but the log error makes no sense to me; it's saying that there are subsystems "Panel1" through "Panel4" in the model not listed in the .tbl file, but I can't find those subsystems defined anywhere in the model by using PCS (full disclosure: I am not, nor do I aspire to be a modeler, so it's very possible I'm missing something painfully obvious).

If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix that, or a working .pof & .tbl entry for that model, I would appreciate it greatly.

Did you check under the submodel section?

from the name of the subsystems i'm guessing they're probably physical subsystems and you forgot to check under subobjects for modelled subsystems
you have to check all subobjects + special points

andy subobject with $special=subsystem needs to be in the tbl (or just delete the $special=subsystem field in the pof (and everything else in that box) and resave)

Just in case anyone else runs into this problem I figured I'd post what I found:

I had somehow messed up the tbl/m entry while editing other ships, so I re-copied the data from the original. The main issue FRED has with the base model (other than the null inertia thing) seems to be some "double-barreled" turrets that were installed. They're armed by default with "Terran Medium Turrets", which FS2 doesn't have, and they seem to have been poorly defined as turrets; regardless of how they were defined in the table entry, FRED couldn't reconcile them. Removing the turret and subobject entries for the turrets cleared everything up.

That probably means you have no turrets anymore though. Fixing a ship by deleting everything is usually not an ideal outcome...

Yeah lolno that sounds like you're totally doing it wrong.
IIRC I fixed the Aule for DoS...
or perhaps it was just for its cleanup thing that is still in the works... I donno.

Ok I was unclear;

I didn't delete all of the turret subobjects, I just deleted the subobjects for the two turrets that were causing the problems. I've still got 9 turrets on the station (both in the table and in the subobject entries for the model).
