Simviation Forums

I was wondering how to addon commercial airline repaints like delta to the original boeing 737 i downloaded some from simviation and i read the installation guide but it says the following.

I get the texture.delt part but i do not get the [fltsim.x] sequence part? I also do not get the aircraft.cfg file part? How do i acess this?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

737-800 Delta
 
737-800 Delta Texture files Aircraft:  Texture Files Only for the 737-800 FSX

Good idea to back up any original files.

1.Unzip downloaded folders to a Temp directory on your system.

2.Copy Texture.HapL into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\
Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800

Add this entry into your 737-800 Aircraft.cfg file
Paste it in sequence right after the last [fltsim.x]. Rename "fltsim.X" to next number in sequence ie: fltsim.8 etc

Thank You for flying with Delta Airlines  

Note: These textures are not for reuse. Please make your own. They are only for the intended Plane i made them for.

Re-paint done by Frank McCall "BoeingBigJet".



So i do not know how to do this is there anybody that knows how to put it into easier words or post a video on youtube or something because i do not get the above at all. :-?

i think you downloaded repaints not full aircraft. Some one else is probably better suited to help you with this cause i dont mess with repaints

yes i do mean repaints

Those instructions seem clear enough to me. To install the new texture you need to extract the zipfile (which I assume you've already done) & find a folder named Texture.Delt. Paste this folder into the FSX default B737_800 folder.

See if this helps with that Aircraft.cfg edit. http://www.simviation.com/lair/Repaint2002.htm
It's for FS2002 but the principle is exactly the same. You would obviously use the [fltsim.x] entry you posted above instead of the one in my tute.

[fltsim.x] ; <----- Change the x to the next number in sequence

I still really dont get it i am not the most knowledgable when it comes to files on computers... Please can somebody please explain it easier or make a video on youtube???

Before going any further perhaps you should read my Windows Basics & Working with Windows articles. ---> http://www.simviation.com/lair/Windows%20Basics.htm

Meanwhile I''m downloading that Delta repaint to check it out.

ok

anyone else have anymore help?

Right. I've checked that file out. There is a mistake in the instructions but otherwise it all looks OK to me. It seems that the author somehow mixed up the texture folder name & the Aircraft.cfg entry. The texture= line must point to the correct texture folder or it won't work. In this case the folder name is texture.Delt. The corresponding CFG entry for this folder will be texture=Delt

Sorry, I have to go soon & I won't be around for a few days. If I could explain this any better I would. Maybe someone else can do better. I have no idea how to create a video, never mind post it on YouTube.

PS. Please read my tutes carefully. They have helped hundreds of newbies over the years.

Usually you have a whole series of these statements

[fltsim.0]

[fltsim.1]

[fltsim.2]

[fltsim.3]

[fltsim.4]

[fltsim.5]

[fltsim.x]

Mine has about 20 in, yours might be say 7.  whatever the last number is then paste your set in at the end of the original sets and renumber the x to whatever is the next number in sequence in YOUR file.  In this example....

[fltsim.x] becomes [fltsim.6]

If I do have 20, then my next one would be [fltsim.21], if you do have 7 and the last one is 6 (starts from zero) then your next one would be [fltsim.7].  Just increment by one each time.

In the aircraft.cfg you will see something like this.....
