I D/L Global Freight texture for Tom Ruth AN-124 but can't make it work. The texture is on FSX commercial acft. page one. I usually have no problem with adding textures but this one has me stumped. Appreciate pointing to the error of my efforts. Doug

Sometimes, it's the little things.  Double check your aircraft.cfg.  I've lost count of how many times I've added a texture, then fired up the sim, and didn't see it, only to smack myself in the forhead because I forgot to change the [fltsim.XX] entry.  I DLed the texture and the aircraft, and edited the .cfg, and all was good.  Here's my .cfg...

Change the "2" to the appropriate number, if you have more textures than the original DL package.

Hope that helps!

Boikat... you couldn't have been more correct! Sometimes it is the little things. I did not fully edit the acft. config. Followed your example, all is well! Thanks so much for the time you spent, much appreciated. Mel

No problem!
