FileMon event log?

Hi,What I found was, the directory where MSFSX was lookingfor the Fuel truck:C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XSimObjectsGroundVehiclesVEH_air_fueltruck01_smtextureContained only one file. It was texture.cfgThe .CFG file had the following contents:[fltsim]fallback.1=........SceneryGlobalTexturefallback.2=............SceneryGlobalTextureSo, now I understand why MSFSX had to continue the search elsewhere!Very strange. Why not just put the files in the correct directoryto begin with?
