Mt Cook 185 ? (caranado)

[Splitpin]

I got the repaint from here (Adam)....did all the things that it told me to do, but it still shows up as that brown 185.........any ideas??

Ooops?

Are you talking about the FS9 or FSX paint?
How does your aircraft.cfg entry look like?

I'm quite sure we could sort this out...

Cheers,
Markus.

Its the FSX paint.....it shows up in the aircraft selection (thumbnail) but when i click on "details" to view it, it shows the brown aircraft.....odd.

Ummmm - probably my fault!

I didn't point out the hazards of the file priorities in the readme:
Suppose you have the original stock BMP files ("Care185Ffuse_A.bmp" etc.) of the source folder still within the ZK_MDB folder?

During my testing, I've found out that DDS files got ignored once a BMP with the same name is present in the folder.
Hope this helps!

Sorry - I'd better stick with FS9...

Cheers,
Markus.

Another thing with the ZK-MDB texture. While it says MDB on the underside of the wing, on the tail it says MDM - easily changed .

(No, I'll never again do a repaint on a model I don't own... )

All I did was put it in my edit program, blow it up, clone most of the "M" out then use the white from a nearby cloud to make a "B". The flower on the tail wasn't quite bright enough, otherwise I'd've used that. Be sure to do both sides .
