HiI am new to repainting, I am currently repainting my first project, I have been modifying the stock 2004 lear45_T file which seems reasonably straightforward, however there is a file called lear45_t1 which contains the windows and lots of other parts such as wings, some of which seem duplicated on lear45_T however no matter how I edit this lear45_t1 file it seems to make no difference to the aircraft in the flightsim. Perhaps somebody could explain the purpose of this file.Thanks.Oh yes, another query.... I was hoping to put some lettering just below the windows, but there only seems to be one texture which is mirrored on the other side which of course results in back to front lettering one side. Is there any way round this problem? I was hioping the answer may lie in the above mentioned lear45_t1 file as it shows 2 sets of windows, one for each side of the aircraft.Thanks again

Hmmm, interesting, I would say that the lear45_t1 is a "dummy" file, as it does not actually do anything, as you have found out.The problem with mirrored text is not unique to the Lear, most of the default planes have this "shortcut" done by MS where by they only have to paint half the plane as the texture is mapped on both halves, the disadvantage to this is that you can't put text on them, unless someone redoes the mapping, which has happened to only one plane, the DH8-100.So there is nothing you can do about it, I have many paints of the C208B that have this problem, but its just something you have to live with unfortunaly.Dan.
