Hi, :D
can someone tell me how I can delete the original "Landmark" and "Ocean Pacific" plane textures so that I can only see my imported planes in the simulator.... ??? At this moment I only see the plane I'm flying with with new textures. All the other planes have original Microsoft-made textures.... :x
I hope someone can help me....
GREETZ

INTRODUCTION 8O
All aircraft liverys are defined on the corresponding "aircraft.cfg" file found inside the aircraft folder.

Each livery if configured by a [flightsim.x] definition where x correspond to the "texture.x" folder, example [flightsim.0] had associated the "texture" folder, [flightsim.1] had associated the "texture.1" folder and so on.

Below each [flightsim.x] line are the configuration items for that livery as will be used by the game.

Example
----------------
[fltsim.0]
title=Boeing 737-400
sim=B737-400
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=0
kb_checklists=Boeing737-400_check
kb_reference=Boeing737-400_ref
atc_id=EC-FXP
atc_id_color=0xffffffff // Don't change this line!
atc_airline=Aviateca
atc_flight_number=0829
ui_manufacturer=Boeing //THIS IS THE BRAND FROM YOU WILL SELECT THE AIRCRAFT INSIDE THE GAME
ui_type=777-300 //THIS IS THE TYPE FROM YOU WILL SELECT THE AIRCRAFT INSIDE THE GAME
ui_variation=Northwest Airlines //THIS IS THE LIVERY/VARIATION FROM YOU WILL SELECT THE AIRCRAFT INSIDE THE GAME
visual_damage=1
description=Boeing 737-400


Modifying or adding the lines "ui_manufacturer", "ui_type", "ui_variation" will change the way the aircraft id displayed and selected on the "aircraft selection" interface inside the game. In fact for some FS2000 aircraft that appears only on the "not specified" section you can add these three lines and the aircraft will now appear under the desired section.


HOW TO REMOVE A LIVERY :idea:
First make a backup copy of your default MS aircraft to be modified, just in case that you want to use them in the future.

Go to example the MS B737_400 folder inside the FS2002/Aircrafts folder then open with Notepad the Aircraft.cfg file, look for [flightsim.?] where appears the line "atc_airline=XXXXXX" where XXXXXX is the livery you want to remove then delete all the [flightsim.?] lines below until the next [flightsim.?] line.
Save the file, the go to FS2002 and voila!

HOW TO ADD A NEW LIVERY :idea:
Once you have the aircraft textures (created or downloaded repaint) make a new "texture.x" folder where the "x" is the next available number, copy them to this folder.
Open the "aicraft.cfg" file and add a new [flightsim.x] definition as per explained above.
Save the file, the go to FS2002 and voila!

Any comments, suggestion, updates or new ideas are welcome. :roll:
