March 21, 20206 yr Author Darned Carenado. On the C185 ordinaire one wingtip does all wingtips. You would think that simple transferring them to the BUSH version the same would apply. A big fat NO! HERE are the replacement files. Let them overwrite the originals in the C-GYJV Float folder. Oh and you do not need the texture.cfg. The World is divided into two groups.

March 24, 20206 yr Beautiful paints, but it seems I'm too stupid to put them in. None of them (fresh downloads) can be used. Thy show up in the list of aircraft, but without a preview. When selecting them an error message appears "failed to start up the flight model C185F SKYWAGON TUNDRA C-GPAF". The stock liveries work fine. I'm lost on that..... Regards Gunter Schneider
March 24, 20206 yr Author Are you using a different FDE. Make sure the sim= is the same as the rest of them i.e. sim=185_tundra or maybe sim=Carenado_C185 (as per the Readme) Edited March 24, 20206 yr by Ron Attwood typo The World is divided into two groups.

March 24, 20206 yr That was it, thanks Ron. I have Carenado_C185. Do I have the wrong FDE installed? Regards Gunter Schneider
March 24, 20206 yr Author That's the default FDE. Bernt Stolle has a better one. I'll send it to you. Off for a walk now. Hopefully we can dodge the police patrols. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
March 24, 20206 yr Thanks Ron! We are encouraged to walk...no police around here anyway. Regards Gunter Schneider
March 24, 20206 yr Since its very inception (FSX+) the C185 has been nothing but a complete mess, incomplete updates, aircraft.cfg title renaming, air file renaming, texture renaming (just once) and so on. My tundra & amphib have been fixed to a point they load in the sim with all paints available. Some of the other models are still broken and need a fine toothed comb. The following are all relative to the original 185 release for FSX -Adding any paint requires complete scrutiny regarding the aircraft.cfg entries, and the thumbnail.. Repaints came out at various times of the 185 service pack lifetime and can cause increased blood pressure due to not loading in the sim. Also re: Carenado..Why on earth would one put all the thumbs in the main aircraft folder and call them via the cfg? - To find a paint with your eyes, windows search = Thumbnail.jpg, look at pictures finding the one you want, right click - open containing folder.. done. With the alternate way with all the thumbs in the main aircraft folder it is impossible. 9 out a 10 doctors agree that 3 in 5 185 users will pull their hair out! It is a fine aircraft once all sorted. RANT OVER )) FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap

I'm so P3D orientated that I completely forgotten all about thumbnails as P3D doesn't use them. Sorreeee. The World is divided into two groups.
