Can't see repaints in game

Pro Member Trainee
Bogie57 Trainee

I downloaded and installed tom7272 per instructions and the two repaints that came with that worked fine. I then downloaded and installed tr722sevenpaints because I wanted the Hughes Airwest repaint that came with it. I followed instructions, but when I go into the game it does not show up. Any ideas on what I need to do to get it to work. The Hughes repaint was the whole reason I added any of this. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Go into the sims menu and put a checkmark in "show all variations".
If that doesn't work then you didn't add it correctly.
Let us know how you do.

all variations is checked. I have gone over the instructions several times and don't see where I made a mistake. Very annoying!

You numbered the new repaints in order after the ones that came with the initial download.
Try skipping a number with the add-on paints.
In other words, if the initial download ended at 3 and you continued at 4 change that to 5.
See if that works.

Be sure that they are made for the initial download.

Yep numbered them in the right order. I first downloaded the 7 repaints with the Hughes Airwest included, and then found I needed the original tom ruth that also had two 727 planes.

No still not working, I was just answering to your suggestions and that I had done everything right as far as I can tell. I guess I will delete and try to do it again. Not sure what else to do.

That sounds like a good idea.
Keep us up with your progress.

Deleted everything concerning these two installs, the tom727Liveries and the the tom7272. The two planes that came with the original work fine, but the 727Liveries none of the 7 planes show up after reinstalling!

Go back to the link I posted and be sure to follow those directions.

You have the Acceleration pack I hope.

Why not paste the entire paint list here and let us take a look at whet you are doing.

Yes I have acceleration. Are you saying to copy the airplanes in the aircraft.cfg from the Tom_B727-200ADV folder?

Pro Member Chief Captain
RadarMan Chief Captain

Yes, and the add-on paints.
Lets see what you are doing.

Here is the .cfg. The top two planes that came with the original download work the rest do not.

Thanks, it sure looks good.
Try changing #3 to #4 (skip one number) carry that on and see what happens.
