Texture help

[mac66]

i have a question about textures for default aircraft how do you get more then one texture- what is aircraft.cfg, and fltsim.x? thanks for the help

Ok, here we go...  ;)

As you know, textures are basically the paint job for the aircraft.  You can have textures three different ways.

1.  They come with the aircraft
2.  You create them (see the re-painting forum)
3.  You download and install them.

Inside the FS Directory is a folder called Simobjects that contains all of the vehicles in the sim.  Inside of this you'll find a folder called 'Airplanes'.  Each plane has an individual aircraft folder that contains the 3d model, panel, sounds, etc for that plane.  You will also find a file called the Aircraft.cfg.  This basically tells the sim where to find the texture folders, gauges,  what to call it, and anything else it needs to interact with the sim.

Inside the Aircraft.cfg, each variation of the plane has it's own section, labeled Flightsim.1, Flightsim.2, etc...

That help?  ;)

ya but do you create the aircraft.cfg because i cant find mine? But thanks the help much apreciated

[Wing Nut]

No, it's supplied with the aircraft.  Which aircraft are you talking about?

[mac66]

747 and i also looked at the grummen goose how did you get it was it just there

[Wing Nut]

Which drive is your FSX folder on?  If it's the C: drive, the your path will be:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\b747_400...

The aircraft .cfg should be in there.

Yes you do...

[mac66]

[reider]

You need to go into the control panel, folder options or something, activate `show all files`.  Then this invisible, but none the less present file, will show up.

all you have to do is open fsx and in the screen where you select the aircraft you want to fly there should be a menu or a box somewhere that yu can select "show all liveries"
