Help with comet and 1-11 vc textures please

[biglazy01]

I am running xp pro 64bit with fsx sp2 acceleration. I have put the common files into the main texture folder and into each aircraft texture folder and still no joy! Do they need to be converted? or where should i put them? These are my 2 favorite airliners to fly and i have logged many hours in them both. If someone could shed some light on the situation i would be very happy! I have tried reading all i could in the forums but have still not found a solution.

Many Thanks,
Biglazy

Hi Biglazy,
DM's aircraft dont use the common texture folder. Best bet is remove what you've done and follow the instructions in the sticky at the Top of this form. Its titled 'installing DM's aircraft in FSX, or something like that. It was done specifically for the 1-11 but its a similar process for the comet. Let us know if you get stuck. :-)

the sticky is a little vague. I put the textures in the main texture folder and no joy. Unless im missing something

I cant go into the details at the moment as i'm in the pub, but FSX doesnt use the common texture folder by default and DM's aircraft use they're own specific common folder. If you follow the instructions to the letter it should work, at least for the 1-11 anyway. Failing that, let us know what your finding vauge and I'll try and be more specific :-)

Just had a thought mate, is there a texture.cfg file inside each of the texture folders? If not FSX won't know to look in the common folder.

Finally got it working, had to redownload the panel files to get the textures. Somehow the got lost in translation. Operator error im sure! Once again im back in the skys!

Many Thanks,
Biglazy

Sorry about post, didnt realize how serious the fictional repaint stuff was. Removed that part of the post.
