Hi, I am completely new to the sim world, but im having great fun and frustration at the same time!

I have tried in vein to get the repaints to work on any of my aircraft because i cant open the .cfg folder to paste the text in.

Am I doing something wrong? As i said i am a new starter so please don't laugh at me if im doing it all wrong!!!!

Thank you[/u][/b]

Use notepad to open the CFG. change the Flightsim # after the previce. Save it and paste the texture folder in your A/C folder.

Thank you for your help, I have done everything you said and I've got the file open and pasted the correct text in inc changing the x to the next available number, but still when i load the sim up there is no repaint even with show all selected. I am using an external HD, although flight sim x is installed and works fine from this, do you think this could be causing a problem?

I have over 650 gb spare memory so I know it isn't a memory problem.

If there is nothing else I can do then at least I have a brilliant flight sim all the same.

Thank you

Make sure that when you are doing your editing this link is the name of the folder your texture is in..
