Hi guys!!
I'm an old flyer but I'm new on this forum!
And i've yet a problem......!
I've downloanded several new textures (only textures!)
for a Dc 9 that was working well.
Now I really can't understand how install the new textures on my favourite airplane!!
just copying the new folder intothe aircraft folder,nothing happens......!
Can you help me?!
Thank to all!!
Cheers!

Welcome, always nice to see new blood....

Do what me (and thousands of other newbies) did - go to the Home Page - look for Grumpy's relevant tutorials, study them closely and if this fails - come back.

There's no way I could help you more than that..

Good luck

Hi Lux & welcome.

Installing repainted textures is quite straightforward once you understand the principle. Basically the new textures will be in a separate "Texture" folder. It should have a suffix added like this - Texture.1, Texture.green, Texture.BA - or whatever. The part of the folder name after the period must be added to a new entry in Aircraft.cfg for it to be recognised in the sim. The name can be anything you wish providing you use the FS folder naming conventions - Texture.xxx - & this is defined in a new Aircraft.cfg texture= entry. The new Texture.xxx folder should be pasted into the main folder of the appropriate aircraft along with the Model, Panel, Sound & the original Texture folders. Most repaints come with installation instructions & sample Aircraft.cfg entries. These can be copied/pasted into the appropriate Aircraft.cfg using Notepad. Make sure you change the header number [fltsim.x] of the new entry to run in sequence.

I posted a walkthrough on adding repainted textures to a default aircraft. This is usually slightly different to those for 3rd party aircraft but the principle is exactly the same. It should give you the general idea. http://www.simviation.com/lair/Repaint2002.htm
