repaints

[awash2002]

I just tried to install 2 repaints and they are not showing up

Hi Awash2002.
Which repaints are not showing up , and who is the repainter , and did you remember to add the repaint section in the aircraft.cfg , also if you have done everything correctly , i have found in the past some errors in the aircraft.cfg of a particular repaint under things like manufacturer= , if they miss off A2A , then it shows under Beechcraft , further down from where you would expect it to be , or it could be a corrupt texture download , which would mean you would have to redownload from maybe a different website , if you cannot see anything obvious , then try contacting the repainter , so he can check his files for any errors .

Hello Greg,

Yes, if you can give us a bit more info and ideally share the top (edited) part of the aircraft.cfg file in your post, we stand a better chance of spotting any issues.

Thanks,
Nick

I tried to install updated versions of EDRM's N66907 the new updated version for the new update and it didn't want to work I finally got the repaints to work but it was frustrating but now I'm going to try the updated version and see if that one works



update: They work I think I know what happened I had flight sim running also

Now if I can figure out the right trim setting for take off I'll be doing good

Hi Awash2002.
I downloaded and installed it , at first it would not show in FSXA at all , then modified the line in the aircraft.cfg entry for this paint from:-
ui_Variation=N66907 to ui_Variation="N66907" , fired up FSXA and it showed under Beechcraft.
Shut the sim down and changed the line in N66907 aircraft.cfg from:-
ui_manufacturer="Beechcraft" to ui_manufacturer="A2A Beechcraft" , fired up FSXA aircraft now shows up with rest of the A2A v35 aircraft.

Hi Awash2002.
If i load my aircraft with the default pilot and a passenger with bags so total pax weight = 440lbs and full wing/tip fuel tanks , i find 0 elevator trim works ok for me.

With just me in the cockpit and relatively balanced fuel tanks, I've always used neutral trim for takeoff also. Unless of course I forgot to roll out the up elevator trim from the last landing, then that makes the takeoff interesting.

I'll try that

Quotation marks are not necessary, what you might be experiencing is the delay because of the external addon directory. You need to open the aircraft menu two times for a new repaint to show in there.

Every thing is working great now EDRM

I'm aware, this was more of a general note for repainters dealing with externalized repaint locations.
