Hi, I have been downloading new skins for the default dc3 but on starting the game I cannot get them to show. I have been updating skins for some time now and never had any problems but was wondering if it is a microsoft default a/c that I am hving problems?
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Colin

Have you had a look here, in "Tutorials" on the Main Sim V Page...>>>>

Adding Textures to existing aircraft:

F.... 8-)...!

Have you definitely put the textures in the correct aircraft folder? Have you added them in the aircraft.cfg?

There no problem adding skins to default ac. Just be sure the skins are indeed designed for the 'default DC3'.

The most common error when adding [fltsim.x] sections to the 'aircraft.cfg': The [fltsim.x] section headers must be in numeric order, where x=0, 1, 2, 3, etc., no holes, no duplicates.... If any are out of order, none of the paints from that point down will be available.

Other errors:

title= must be unique
texture= if incorrect the ac will show without textures

ui_manufacturer= <--
ui_type=

Hey Guys, thanks for the replies.

As I said, I have been rejigging skins for over 3 years and never had this problem. Its obviously something silly that I am overlooking so I am going to have another look and analyse the cfg file. Will let you know the outcome.

thanks again

Colin
