Black add on aircraft

Postby BROGY » Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:16 am

I have installed the FSX:SE Jolly Rogers F14 in Dino Cattaneo's F14D map.
The airplane is all black.
What could be wrong ?

I think I have found the cause
Dino Cantaneo's F14 is made with *.dds formats; the add on airplane is with *.bmp format.

The texture is model specific. If the texture is for the correct model, it wouldn't matter if the format is DDS or BMP. If the texture is for a different model (In this case, not Dino's?), it will show up as black.

Another Reason,, is the TEXTURE FALL BACK FILE - within the Aircraft TEXTURE FOLDER itself

check the TEXTURE FALL BACK FILE , make sure it reads the same as the rest of the TEXTURE FALL BACK FILEs of the other same liverys !!!!

Exactly as Boikat said - textures are for a specific model and cannot be used on another model.

You need to find textures created specifically for Dino's F14 for them to show up.

It seems that the add on texture isn't ment for the Dino Cantaneo F14D.
There was no TEXTURE FALL BACK FILE in the add on map.
Thanks for your hints.
