Empire Livery

[Flying Trucker]

Goodly morning all...

Downloaded the Empire Livery for the Awesome 4some and FSX DC3 from the Simviation FSX Vintage Download Site.

Awesome 4some is already installed.

The Empire Livery on the DC3 looks great along with the cockpit however the propellers are black discs.

Tried twice to download it and still get the black prop discs while flying.

Is there a fix or is this a FS2004 model brought over to FSX?

Also is there a way to have this Empire Livery on a wheel/ski DC3 from Awesome 4some?

They do supply several models to be repainted and one is the Wheel/ski DC3.

Thanks in advance...Doug

Doug, check the textures that are found in the other, original texture folders of this plane. Is there any file with "disk" in its name ? You'll probably need to copy that texture into the empire folder. I think the props are black because the propdisk texture is missing in that repaint. Using the propdisk from another repaint should do the trick.

Doug,

Installed the Empire texture. Wrong Prop_DC3.dds texture included (evidenced by file size).

Just replace with a good prop from another. You may have to restart the sim to flush the bad texture from memory.

Tried the Empire textures on the skis (some file renaming required). Apparently the mapping is a little different on the ski model (lc47). Textures show but are misaligned.


Plus the door seams don't match.

This could be fixed but I don't have the tools.

Thanks Stephane...

Thanks Dave...

Have the props fixed and looks good now.

Not sure how to get the skis to show properly and that is going to take someone with more knowledge than me to do that...
