Need help with T-Birds

Postby nitrofish » Mon Jul 19, 2004 2:14 pm

I downloaded the base pack for the t-birds. I got #5 with the download. I downloaded the textures separately, but having trouble installing them. I have all the planes, 1-4 are blank. #5 is ok. Not sure what folder to put them in...HELP Please :'( I've moved the textures to different folders, but none seem to work. Any ideas?

I think I see the problem, not that it is a problem. If I'm reading this correctly Nitrofish downloaded the base package & Texture 5. I've just downloaded Texture 3 to check it out. I didn't bother with the base package.

I assume the base pack is ready-configured for all 5 variations. For them to all display correctly you would need the base package + all 5 texture sets. To install the different texture sets unzip the files & look for folders named Texture.1, Texture.2 etc. Paste these folders into the main folder of the base package for them to display. If Texture 5 works OK you already installed it correctly.

I have all the F-16's in one folder. You need to make sure you have the Thunder.mdl and thunder airfile in the folder. It came with the stand alone thunderbird plane, but I don't recall where I got it.

Here's how I have my aircraft.cfg file set up to handle the thunder bird livery

[fltsim.4]
title=Viper Thunder USAF Aggressor
sim=Thunder
model=thunder
panel=
sound=
texture=aggressor
checklists=
description=F-16 Fighting Falcon                                            
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed Martin (Olsson)
ui_type=F-16 Thunder
ui_variation=USAF Aggressor
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=1
atc_airline=Air Force
atc_flight_number=
atc_type=LOCKHEED
atc_model=F16
