Trouble with repaint installation

Postby Thunderbird1 » Thu Jul 14, 2005 4:53 pm

Every aircraft repaint I've downloaded and installed recently is not showing up in FS. Any suggestions? All the aircraft I've downloaded work with no problem, just the repaints are giving me heartburn.

are you typing in the configurations in the aircraft.cfg? the readme's in each repaint comes with a set of config's th
at you copy & paste into the aircraft.cfg file. also you must change the first line (from aircraft.XX to aircraft.3)

hope that helps, it works, but i give up on repaints

It's usually because the [fltsim.0] number is not sequenced. This is the one item which will prevent flyable aircraft from being visible (albeit duplicates) in the selection list. But, you've probably got it figured out after reading the foreging posts.

Cool! Thanks It worked well with the ones that had the configurations included. Still trying to figure the ones that don't have the configurations.
