Craig,I think it would be useful to send us a screenshot of your Aircraft.cfg file in your PMDG 747-400 folder. Also would be worth checking you have the texture folders texture.8inormal and texture.8i are present in this folder too.Regards,

Hello Craig,Have you set your PMDG 747-8 & 400 Configuration Manager correctly? You will need to make sure that your settings are for the -8i and -8F are checked in order for them to load properly in FSX, assuming that it is FSX which you are running?Mick.

HelloI have also just bought the 747 x having now the means to run it. I have tried to install the liveries without success. I have carried out all the suggestions in the forums. Re-installation, installation as admin etc. I am using Win 7 64. I have made three third party liveries appear but not under PMDG. The pmdg and other textures are installed in the right folders and the aircraft config entries appear correct.I am at a loss along with Craig.Any ideas?Best wishes, Peter Chambers

Sorry, have just realised that the 8i and F is an expansion which I have not bought. Will do this now.Best wishes, Peter Chambers
