Not really wanting a Super Connie, but finding a repaint that rang a nostalgic chime, I stepped off the pier.

Make sure the aircraft cfg file is set up like the following

[fltsim.1]
title=Boeing 747-400 Paint1
sim=Boeing747-400
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1
kb_checklists=Boeing747-400_check
kb_reference=Boeing747-400_ref
atc_id=N747K
atc_airline=Landmark
atc_flight_number=1123
atc_heavy=1
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type="747-400"
ui_variation="Landmark Airlines"

[fltsim.2]

sim=Boeing747-400
model=
panel=

This was taken from the default B747-400 notice the flight sim numbers and the texture numbers
Just compare you cfg file to this and make sure it looks similar  8-)

Make sure you pasted the folder named texture.ALA into the Lockheed_L1649A folder in your FS9\Aircraft directory. Then edit Aircraft.cfg adding the new variation from the author's Readme instructions after the last previous variation (the entry in Bold type below).

[font=Courier]// This file based on L-1049G flight dynamics (L1049G_FS9.AIR)
// version 2.3 by Wolfram Beckert (Apr 6, 2004)
// modified version for L-1649A Starliner Project by the Starliner Project team
// See Starliner thread at www.calclassic.com

[fltsim.0]
title=Lockheed L-1649A Starliner Prototype
sim=L1649A
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=N1649

Failed to mention that I had since downloaded V2.0 of the same plane but the .cfg looks the same.

After reglancing at your examples, I see the line 'texture=ALA//requires directory from N1649'.  Pehaps there's something similar from the TWA plane (v2,0) that I've overlooked?

Those CFG entries look very similar. I can't see why yours wouldn't work unless;
a) It's conflicting with the original Connie.
b) The new texture folder is incorrectly named.

Note that the Alaska variation will be listed separately under L-1650 Starliner on the selection menu.

[quote]What, by the way, did you name that folder and does it make a difference?

Somehow I created a dupe folder - texture.ALA - under Alstar.

Glad you fixed it.

I have no knowledge of the Birds Eye View scenery. Sorry.

Nor, it appears, do I  :).
