as you guys may be aware, I am going through a ai traffic craze.
Very Happy

some of you might know that the mrai installer thing has a feature that checks aircraft for any missing things.
well, i recently installed a new airline, and the 'heavies' (747) have no texture. i have checked that the texture file name and .cfg file are the same.
i am beginning to think that the textures are corrupt or something.
help would be appreciated.
thanks

never mind. i got a new plane and fixed the problem.
i still would like to find out why the problem occured though. Very Happy

without the filenames we cant check it out and I would hate to hazard a guess due to the number of FS related files out there Shocked

Did you fix the problem you had at this link:

Might be a little easier to fix one problem at a time, might even be nice on your part to respond to some of the suggestions offered. (See link above)

Believe it or not, some people look for fixes to problems until we hear a reply that a suggested fix worked or not. If you don't reply, we keep looking. Kinda wasting their time if you fixed it and don't reply no?

Do you have the 744 base files? You need those. You can't just slap a texture onto any model you wish to. They work only for the models they were designed for.

Grab the model and post back if any other problems and like Rick said...respond back to the replies so we know where you are with the problems! Okeeedooookeeeeee?

Smile...you're on ExxCam...

oh gosh, exxcam! what now! Shocked

yea i have the base files, put the textures in the folder and named the thing in the .cfg file.
BTW, same thing happened with an airbus too.

Okay,

so you put the moved the textures over to the AIA model folder right? Then changed the aircraft.cfg entry to specify the texture folder right? (Texture=xxxxx) Then added the entry for the flightsim.x as it would need to be for your textures and made sure you have the correct model (sim=aia_747_xxx ) right? Then changed the model entry in the aircraft.cfg to the 'non reflective' model right? It should work...there is nothing wrong with the textures...just tested them and they work.

Check all of the above, then post up your aircraft.cfg file (part that identifies all of the above proprerties) and we'll see what we can do.

You are using the reflective model. You can't do that it says so in the readme for the textures...

Is this the only texture you have installed for this model?

I just downloaded the SWA AI Traffic And The 737-700 winglet is just plain blank ***Gray** Color i need some help i downloaded aia 737 same texture overwrited still gray ???Need help Thanks

In your aircraft.cfg check the following highlighted in blue...

fltsim.0]
title=AIA 737-300 SWA
sim=aia_737_XXX
model=reflective
panel=
sound=
texture=SWA
...

Make sure that the texture is next in sequence ie.0...1...2...for however many textures you have for that model. Then check to see if the model and folder name specified under texture= .... is the exact same name of the SWA texture folder name. If not, use notepad, open up the aircraft.cfg and change the entries to match the folder name.

Hope that helps
