Can someone help me figure out why this paint won't show?  paint 7 is the culprit here... 6 works fine

[fltsim.6]
title =			VansRV7A Sliding Sweet Escape
sim =			..\Vans_RV7\vansRV7.air
model =			RV7A_sldr
panel =			RV7A_sldr
sound =			sonicSolutionsSldr
texture =		paint_7Asldr_N507RV
kb_checklists =
kb_reference =
atc_id =		N507RV
ui_manufacturer =	"Van's Aircraft"
ui_type =		"RV7A Sliding Canopy"

ui_typerole =		"Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby =		"BayTower"

[fltsim.7]
title= VansRV7A N651Rv
sim = ..\Vans_RV7\vansRV7.air
model= RV7A_sldr

sound = sonicSolutionsTip

ui_manufacturer= "Van's Aircraft"
ui_type= "RV7A Sliding Canopy"

ui_createdby= "BayTower"
description = "--- RV-7 Description ---\n\nThe RV-7/7A retains all the traditional RV virtues. It is an all-around sport airplane, with excellent cross-country capability, fine aerobatic qualities and superior handling. A typical RV-7 can hold two FAA standard pilots, 100 lbs. of baggage and full tanks: 42 gallons. At the aerobatic gross weight of 1600 lbs., the RV-7 complies with the +6/-3G standards of the FAA’s Aerobatic Category and can still carry two people."

I'd be just guessing, but what the heck!  I doubt it's the spaces between the = and wording. 

 

Maybe changing ui_variation= "N651RV' to ui_variation= "N651Rv" so it matches title=

 

Like I said, just guessing.  I'm probably wrong.

 

So all paints work 1-6 just not the added [fltsim.7]?

 

This is the wording from the repaint download.

Why a different soundfolder if I may ask?

I can't recall but it's needed to get sound per paintjob... there's two well four variations, RV7 and RV7A as well as canopy that tips up vs canopy that slides...  I guess the sound is different between the four.

Your texture folder reads paint_7Asldr_N651RV 

 

My question is why it's labeled wrong in the [fltsim.xx] 

 

texture=7Asldr_N651RV  is what it's suppose to be  (NOT texture=paint_7Atip_N651RV)

The model is a slider and the paint is a tip-up.

 

EDIT: You pipped me at the post. :smile:

canopy that tips up vs canopy that slides

Assuming that these are distinct models, do they call the same textures by file names?

 

Your texture folder appears to be for a tipping canopy yet the model (and panel) are calling for the sliding canopy.

Whoever uploaded the paint job just used the wrong texture=.  No big deal, just type in

 

the correct name of the folder.
