How to change engine type (FedEx)

Featured Replies

Hello, now that I've got my new rig up and running (loving the NGX) I've finally gotten around to getting the MD-11 for myself. (I flew it a bunch on a friend's computer previously). I was wondering if it is possible to change the engine type on a particular aircraft, specifically the new FedEx paint. According to the FAA's registry, N608FE has the GE engines, but it has the PW's on the repaint. I thought it was odd the old livery had GE's and the new has PW's..http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=608FEAnyway, I didn't want to start messing around with the cfg and mess it up. Anyone know if this can be fixed on my end?

Actually, I just looked and I wouldn't change anything. I don't think it's possible to change the engine type for a given livery.

It is just a guess but in the aircraft.cfg file. If you would scroll down to the fedex part and simply change panel an model files from .pw to .ge shouldn't that do the trick?

Ships are cooler that you think.

That could work but in the FedEx texture file, the files are PW not GE. So I'm not sure that will work.

To be honest, I went the other way. I just shopped the textures to a different tail number with the right engines.

Nevermind, I had an idea to check the Avsim library and sure enough there's a fedex paint for the GE's. :( The simplest solutions are always the best. Thanks for the ideas though.
