A2A Boeing 377 COTS Repaint Question

The repaint has been downloaded, but there are problems in getting it to work.

I've checked the Forum, the knowledge base, and youtube, but can't get the plane to show up.

I'm running Win7 Home Premium SP1, 64 bit on a Dell PC.

All variations on FSX are checked.

The A2A planes are numbered correctly in the Aircraft config file. The Texture file was edited per the Read First instructions with the download.

After following all the directions in the Knowledge Center Tutorial, the plane still doesn't exist when FSX is running.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

If it's the right texture for the aircraft you are using it for and you did do everything correctly then it should show up.
Check the box in the tab that shows all the aircraft.

"Show all variations".

It should show up then, maybe it will have a different name than you expect depending on what the designer did.

RadarMan, success! The A2a folder was installed outside of simobjects airplanes. Once I realized that, I went
into simobjects,airplanes, found the correct airplane folder, followed the repaint instructions, amd everything
installed just fine, after three days of racking my brain.

Sometimes you can stare at something and not see it.
This time it worked, Enjoy!
