Hello folks

   I downloaded some 757 American Airlines textures from Project AI and cant seem to get them to work.
 I already have a 757 United Airlines plane that works fine.  I created the [fltsim.1]  section in the aircraft .cfg file. I only had the one plane in the the 757 folder,  the new AA plane would be the second.  I put the texture files in a texture folder called Texture.AAL and made texture=AAL in the [fltsim.1] section.  The plane shows up all gray (unpainted).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Don

You want to check if the Texture is the same spec as your original Aircraft. There is variations of for example, engines and I had the same problem. Check at PAI if there is different versions of 757

Hey CapnDon,

You may wish to first check and see if the textures that you downloaded from PAI are compatible with the aircraft first.

I think that's what Magicman is referring to.

Thanks for the replies.  I really need an education on how texture files work I guess.   Am I correct is saying that when I want to add new textures to an existing aircraft that I already have,  then the new textures must have the same name as the existing textures that are in the existing aircraft.

   For example:  My exisiting aircraft has 2 textures named  B752PW_T.bmp and B757PW_L.bmp.  The new aircraft textures that I want to add are named 7572_T.bmp and 7572L.bmp.  So they want work right?

   Is it just the xxx_T.bmp and xxx.L.bmp that are important here because I notice that some aircraft in addition to those files have all kinds of other  xxx.bmp files?

Absolutely correct.
