Hi Guys,I know Pan Am never flew the MD80 series but I wondered if anyone knew of a livery for the Leonado Maddog 2010 edition? I have searched the internet and the Avsim file libraries with no success.Thanks, and Happy Christmas!Richard

Actually there is another problem too :( I just downloaded an American Airlines Livery and put the textures in the aircraft/maddog2008 folder, and edited the aircraft.cfg as instructed in the readme file; but for some reason when I start flightsim nothing shows up in the aircraft menu, only the default livery. I have rechecked everything and it's all as instructed. Odd. Also I downloaded the liveries from the maddog website and they arn't showing either!!! The only thing I can think of is that I have the Maddog 2010 professional and these liveries are titled ',maddog 2008'. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is there a thumbnail.jpg sitting in the AA texture folder?For faster answers, Richard, you might want to register on the Maddog forum as well. For every one answer here - you'll get twenty over there!http://www.flythemaddog.com/forum/index.php?showforum=24There's a fellow there - Todd R. Fleck, who will probably do a custom paint job for you, if you ask him.

Hi Paul,Thanks for your reply. There is a thumnail yes.I registered first on their forum but I am awaiting the mod to accept me. I noticed that this issue came up months ago on their forum but wasnt replied to, so I thought I'd get a better response on this (busier) forum in the meantime! Thanks for your help :)

The 2008 textures should also work in the 2010 version.Ok; You should have a "texture.MDG" in the /SimObjects/airplanes/MADDOG2010/ folder, right? Below (or above) that should be a file - "texture.AAL_bn" or "texture.AAL_wn". Do you have these folders, or one similar?If so, does the aircraft.cfg have this pasted below the first [fltsim.0][fltsim.01]title=LSH MD-82 American Airlines sim=md-82model=vcpanel=widesound=texture=AAL_wnkb_checklists=md-82_checkkb_reference=md-82_refatc_id=N492AAatc_airline=Americanatc_flight_number=atc_parking_types=GATE,CARGO,RAMPatc_parking_codes=AALui_manufacturer=Leonardo SHui_type=md-82ui_variation=LSH MD-82 American Airlines (white nose)description=Fly the Maddog 2006 editionvisual_damage=0atc_heavy=0Cheers!

Thanks paul. I should add at this point that I have just realised that I have posted in wrong forum as I am using FS9 at the moment. My mistake it's been a long day with all this snow here in the UK!!!None the less I am using a livery where the readme states that it is usable both in FS9 and FSX and I have followed the instructions to the letter. The texture.AAL folder is under the aircraft/maddog folder and the aircradft.cfg has the following:[fltsim.0]title=LSH MD-82 McDonnell Douglassim=md-82model=panel=sound= texture=MDGkb_checklists=md-82_checkkb_reference=md-82_refatc_id=MADDOGatc_airline=McDonnell Douglasatc_flight_number=atc_parking_types=GATE,CARGO,RAMPatc_parking_codes=MDGui_manufacturer=Leonardo SHui_type=md-82ui_variation=LSH MD-82 McDonnell Douglasdescription=Maddog 2008 editionvisual_damage=0atc_heavy=0[fltsim.01]title=LSH MD-82 American Airlines (white nose)sim=md-82model=panel=sound=texture=AAL_2k8kb_checklists=md-82_checkkb_reference=md-82_refatc_id=N492AAatc_airline=Americanatc_flight_number=atc_parking_types=GATE,CARGO,RAMPatc_parking_codes=AALui_manufacturer=Leonardo SHui_type=md-82ui_variation=LSH MD-82 American Airlines (white nose)description=Fly the Maddog 2008 editionvisual_damage=0atc_heavy=0Very confusing as it appears to be exactly as the readme instructs.Thanks again for any help...

Aaah.... That new texture folder: - it's name is "texture.AAL_2k8" - right??? :( ... and if you want to fly using the vc - you will need "model=vc" .... and if you have a wide-screen monitor you will need "panel=wide" noted.

Hi Paul, Yes it is texture.AAL_2k8 is there a known problem with that?

No, no problem - any name will do, as long as it agrees with the name inside the cfg script. Your previous response was "The texture.AAL folder is under the aircraft/maddog folder ", and "texture=AAL_2k8" was in the script, and that was not going to work. I'm out of ideas, Richard. This all looks ok, and as long as there's a thumbnail.jpg sitting at the bottom of the texture.AAL_2k8 file, all should be good. Did you make the jpg or did it come in the package?

Hi again. It is an odd one. The texture.AAL_2K8 file is under the aircraft/maddog2008 folder with the .jpg at the bottom (which came with the download)(I find it odd that the folder is called maddog2008 even though I purchased the 2010 edition)The aircraft.cfg file is as you see it.Despite this nothing shows up on the fs9 aircraft menu apart from the default livery or on the load manager.Odd.Thanks for all your help and ideas though.Richard
