Changing Texture

[Bubblehead]

How can I change the texture of an aircraft? Do I remove the original texture and add the new one? I tried it it did'nt work for me. For example I tried to change the texture of a B747-400 by deleting the old one and installing the texture which I recently downloaded. The end result was an aircraft with no texture - just an unpainted (grey) aircraft.

Did you add the lines in the .cfg file?

It should say in the readme of the texture you downloaded something like

"Change .x to the next number

[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna Skylane 182S
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N778WS
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation="White with green"
description="Description here."

[fltsim.x]
title=Cessna Skylane 182S IFR
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=ifr
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N267QD
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation="White with green - IFR panel"
description="Description here."


^Example, don't put that in.

Don't forget the new texture folder must be named correctly - Texture.Red Texture.blue whatever & the texture= line in the new Aircraft.cfg entry pointed to it, like this.

[fltsim.x] <----change the X to the next number in sequence
title=Cessna Skylane 182S IFR
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=ifr
sound=
texture=Red <--- part of the texture folder name after the period
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N267QD
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation="Red - IFR panel"
description="Description here."

PS. My old Add a Repaint tute explains the basic principle. http://www.simviation.com/lair/Repaint2002.htm
