I am just starting to repaint, iam using paint.net and DXTBmp. I can make changes on existing planes or I can paint a white livery. My problem is I can load it into the airplane section, but when i want to load it into a flight plan it only cone up as a white plane if i use a white livery,

if you make a repaint for a plane, copy and texture the withe fltsim in the aircraft.cfg an number it than 1 in the [fltsim=0] and set behind: texture=, flightnumber=. the information of the repaint and than can you load the variation.

Sander

You have to add another [fltsim=xx] section to the Aircraft.cfg file, with a different texture= line, a different name and variation= lines.
I take and copy the [fltsim=0] section to the bottom of the whole fltsim area, give it the next number in line, rename it, give it the texture name and bingo, gtg...

IE: [fltsim.0]
title=Bell UH-1H Huey
sim=Bell_UH-1H

panel=1

texture=1
kb_checklists=Bell_UH-1H_check

OK, iam able to get into aircraft.cfg and make the changes, but when I want to save it iam denied. The repaint kit I want to use is the one by Chris Evens. Don't know if that means anything
Any more help would be greatly appreciated

Drag the aircraft.cfg file onto the Desktop....
Make the changes...
Drag the aircraft.cfg file back into place again!

Try that!

Will do
thanks

Many thanks for the help, I have repainted a plane, and it works. So now I am working on a repaint kit, but it won't display in fsx, I created a [fltsim 1] by coping a 737, which the repaint kit is and made the changes. It saved all the changes.

can you send a picture of your repaint?

Sander

I'm now working to make a transavia repaint for the posky 737-800 (PH_HZN)
