Question about Texture downloads.

[MetallicLynx]

I'm wanting to download some textures for the Bombardier CRJ700. Here are what the files look like after saving and unzipping:

I'm not exactly sure how I would put this into the SimObjects folder. Would I just directly drag it into the SimObjects folder, or would I drag it into the Bombardier CRJ700 folder? Or do I do it a completely different way? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: These files were downloaded from the Newest Files link in the FSX Civil Jets downloads. It was a file named "Bombardier CRJ700 US Airlines" or something of that matter. When I unzipped it, it only gave me those files so that is why I do not know what to do with them.

I'm not familiar with that DL, but the *read me* probably might explain how to install the textures.

Each of those five texture folders go into your CRJ folder with the existing CRJ textures.  In that readme file, you will most likely find the edits you will have to make to the aircraft.cfg file also located in your CRJ folder.

That's the problem. There are no other files under the CRJ file. The ReadMe doesn't explain anything other than "Thanks for downloading" then some information about the planes in real life.

Just to add a little bit more...  Make sure when you edit your aircraft.cfg file, each new [fltsim.x] section is in ascending order with "x" being the next number in the sequence.  For example if your last CRJ is [fltsim.5] in the aircraft.cfg, your next added CRJ would be [fltsim.6] then [fltsim.7] and so on.

Don't forget to back up your work.

Ok.  Hang on a minute, I'll be right back

Can you post what liveries those CRJ textures are?  I'm assuming .aale is American Airlines Express, .coex is Continental Express, .dalx is Delta Airlines Express and .ualx is United Express, but what is.qxe?

I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with my files. Everyone else seems to have sub folders containing the files needed for the airplane. Ex: Under SimObjects, a list of all the objects show up, including the airplanes. When an airplane file is clicked, it shows up displaying sub folders with all the files needed for that plane to show up on FSX. For me, the files aren't there. It shows up saying the folder is empty. I'm not exactly sure why. I've seen how to download textures with those files there but seeing as I don't have them, I don't know how, which is why I have come here.

WAIT okay. I am completely sorry for the trouble I've given here, but it turns out that I was looking under the wrong file. There were two different FSX folders that both contained similar looking files but I was looking under the Users file instead of the Program files. I found out what I needed to look for.

I apologize for the trouble, but thank you for helping.

When you open your aircraft.cfg in notepad, you will see the following for your default aircraft:

With increased length and upgraded landing gear, the CRJ700 features a longer wing span and leading edge slats.

Got it, thank you.
