Hi, great success

Following your instructions I was able to get the textures to show correctly. I discovered that my problem was that I did not have all the permissions to modify 562 VAQ-129Grey and that I also tried to modify the file in the airplanes folder in FSX. Next time I will do all modifying OUTSIDE of FSX, then copy and paste the modified file(s) into FSX. Thanks a whole bunch for you help, I really appreciate it

The only thing now is that the fuel tanks and pylons are still transparent...I have not been able to locate which texture file they belong to.
