Can anybody help??

[ross1562]

I have tried downloading the Quantas livery from Avsim onto my default Cessna but for some reason it is not working. The DHL one works fine, can anybody spot what is wrong??

Cheers in advance.

Copy the textures contained in the "Texture" folder to the "Texture.qf" folder

DO NOT overwrite the thumbnail.jpg and the C208_T.dds files

Now it should show up

The repaint folder only contains the skinn file and the thumbnail, this to save on the file size for download, so you need to add the basic files to it to make the AC "visible"

Your [fltsim.3] entry has no texture assigned to it, that may also cause an issue   Perhaps delete that entry altogether and change the QF one to [fltsim.3]

I do not have FSX, but look at this entry in your CFG File:

ui_manufacturer="Cessna"

Try the following:-      ui_manufacturer=Cessna

Leave out the "  "

Thanks guys, i sorted it. For some reason it was being extracted into a seperate folder within C208B and not directly into C208B.

Pics of my recent trip will be up soon.

Once again, thanks.

Your [fltsim.3] entry has no texture assigned to it, that may also cause an issue   Perhaps delete that entry altogether and change the QF one to [fltsim.3]

Ah John I think you'll find that is because No' 3 is the default texture and that will be the "Texture"  sub folder

all the others should be labled  Texture.1 ,Texture.2, Texture.3, Texture.qf  and so on .

The titles could also be causing you an issue as well, I would name the offending directory

Take particular attention of the Call Sign Not that this would normally cause any issue.

And make sure you place ALL external BMP's, of DDS Texture files in the Texture.qf sub-folder you should have created when setting up this Paint scheme variation.
