Texture problems ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

[webberernie]

Can someone please help me? I recently learned how to add textures to planes. I learned on HJG planes and they all worked perfectly but today I downloaded a USAF texture that said it required the Moach Experience 737 which I also downloaded. After adding the texture file I added the new texure cfg to the planes air.cfg but when I tried to save it it kept saying error make sure path name and destination file are correct. I know Im doing it right because I did it to about twenty planes from HJG. Whats wrong? I have had this happen many times to other planes what can I do? Please help.

Right-click on the icon of the Aircraft.cfg you wish to edit & select Properties. Make sure the Read-only option is not checked.

PS. If you have Vista/Win7 you might need to paste the Aircraft.cfg file to your Desktop before editing. Then save & paste it back again.

Thanks so much! When I copied the air.cfg to the desktop it worked. Not sure why I had to do that but it worked. The HJG aircraft didn't have to be done that way but whatever.  As long as it worked.  Thank You again.

Interesting.  I have FS9 installed on a Vista system and don't have to do that;  just click on the files and edit them in place.

Not disputing the validity of your advice.

Hi,

One thing to watch for with any config file is the path as fs9/fsx don't install to the C:\programs files path in win 7.


I have no problems editting files where they are, I'm not needing to copy to desktop and i have uac turned on.
