I am trying to install the Southwest Airlines texture for the KittyHawk 737-800. I've edited the .cfg file to the best of my ability. I had to guess because there was no file for it. Anyway, I can only get the engine, tail, and wing textures to appear. No fusealage textures.. Any Idears???

..mm...Thunderbird ....... whoever wanted to help would really have to know exactly which downloads you are trying to install.......otherwise it would all be guesswork..........commoner

Yes, without the model it's hard to tell.
My K-H-737-800 is:

. . . and it seems there's also a model by FFX

My  K-H-737-800 Alaska Airline fuselage textures are named: 738_FUSE_T.BGL  and are 32 bit, 4.0 MB

Hope this helps.

Look at no nodes (flightsim.com) For a southwest 737 package..There is one complete wit everything.. Dunno the opackage name though..

The web page  makes it sound like it's a full package, but it's just the texture.

The aircraft came from Avsim
and the texture from flightsim.com

Hope this is the right info.

Forgot!

My  K-H-737-800 Alaska Airline fuselage textures are named: 738_FUSE_T.BGL  and are 32 bit, 4.0 MB

Thats what I have, just without the winglets and southwest markings.

Heya Thunderbird,

I downloaded the file khsw7oc.zip and discovered that once it's unzipped, the textures reside in a folder called KHSWA700OC.  The fuselage textures in this folder are labeled 73g_fuse_t.bmp.  This means that these textures are intended for a Kittyhawk 737-700 aircraft and won't work on a 737-800.    

I know, I know.  The khsw7oc.zip file description does say that it's intended for a 737-800, however, the texture maps look entirely different.

That did the trick, I DL the 737-700 and it works great
Thanks

..LOL....mmmm.....I must admit it HELPS if you have the   right textures to match the aircraft..... ....commoner

I've noticed when I'm doing texture work on some aircraft if the size of the file is wrong the textures won't load, even if some on the page did load. I'm not sure what exactly it is that causes that but if I go back and pay really close attention to the file size and color weight the file generally works.
