casey jones Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think I am good at installing paints, have had good fortune with them until I came across a repaint for my FSDzigns L049 Constellation for fs9, the paint is called SWA by Mr Howard Lindsay which I really liked, I used the aircraft.cfg guide as I allows do, it did not work, I looked at the textures , the author used DTX3 textures? I am used to seeing bmps. Is DTX3 or DXT3 textures for FSX? Cheers Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 FSX uses .dds format which might not work to swiftly on FS2004. Do you have a link to that file? Aha! a sneaky folder name mix up! Good find copperpen! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperpen Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The supplied cfg entry has texture=swa but the folder has texture.swa_DXT3. So, if you change the foldername to read texture.swa it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Double check everything in the aircraft.cfg, I've had paints that didn't work and in the supplied entry for the cfg they have had minor differences to the original entries. Sometimes the air file or the model and I've even seen where like your above they have had a different texture name. Also I've downloaded a texture for a certain aircraft and it was for a later or earlier model for the one I have, my mistake sometimes but worth a check.
