Are you changing the [fltsim.X] to the next flight sim number?  If your original aircraft.cfg has two textures already, the new flight sim entry should be [fltsim.2]

I've just downloaded this file to check it out. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Sriwijaya&categoryId=

I think I see the problem. The new texture folder is named [glow=yellow,2,300]Textures[/glow].Air Sriwijaya

If you rename the folder to Texture.Air Sriwijaya it should work.

hello hager:

I went to the textures folder and all I did was delete the letter "s" in textures.air sriwijaya folder but I would think I need to save this right? which I do not see  "save" anywhere. 

it goes back to the original name textures

To rename the folder Right-click on it & select Rename from the drop down menu. Then type in the new name. Click anywhere in the window to finish the edit.

If you use Vista or Win7 you might need to move the folder to your Desktop before renaming it. Then paste it back again.
