707-320C liveries

[windhoek706]

Hello Gentlemen! I recently downloaded lots of liveries for the Boeing 707-320C. When I loaded flight simulator most of them didn't show up on the liveries list. I need help on this please. Please reply.

"WINDHOEK706" .... here's a cut & paste of my reply to another poster recently which I hope will help you identify the problem ....

Assuming you have indeed got our B707-320C Aircraft Base Pack installed within your FS9 "AIRCRAFT" folder .... and assuming you have indeed correctly copied the "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data (provided with each texture download) to the AIRCRAFT.CFG file contained within the Aircraft Base Pack .... then I'd say all you need to check are each of the following points ....

1. Check that the very first line on your AIRCRAFT.CFG (which by default will read [fltsim.xx]) actually reads as follows ....

[fltsim.0]

If you desire adding more than texture to your B707-320C AIRCRAFT.CFG file .... then these entries "MUST" appear in correct numerical sequence as follows ....

[fltsim.0]
[fltsim.2]
[fltsim.3] etc

Failure to do this will ensure with absolute certaintly that nothing will display within the FS aircraft menu when you go to select it

2. Make sure the TEXTURE= line/s of your AIRCRAFT.CFG file data read precisely according to the actual names of the texture files you´re installing. By default .... and if your correctly copying and pasting "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data from each texture download to the CFG file .... then no such error should occurr .... but .... we're all human !

3. Check that you haven't inadvertantly got a texture folder contained within another temporary containing folder from the downloaded ZIP file .... it can happen !

4. This next point is an unlikely error .... but .... it needs to be considered/checked anyway. In your particular case make sure the textures you're downloading and installing to your B707-320C Aircraft Base Pack are indeed textures for this particular aircraft type and not another B707/720 type .... or they won't work

Justy comming back to "POINT 1" (above): You can install any number of texture data to any AIRCRAFT.CFG .... as displayed by the following copy and paste of my own B707-320C CFG file. Please note some of my entries may differ from standard HJG naming conventions, but, the guts of everything remains the same as discussed above. Hopefully this might help you identify any errors you may have committed of your own CFG file

N.B. My above TEXTURE= namining data reflects my own personal preferences and not the standard HJG conventions. Again if you're correctly copying & pasting the "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data from each downloaded texture file to the AIRCRAFT.CFG file contained with each AIRCRAFT BASE PACK .... and editing the [fltsim.X] entry correctly .... then no errors should occurr and everything display fine within FS9

Any one of the above points could be the cause of your aircraft not dispplaying within the aircraft selection menu.

I hope this helps you identify the problem.

Let us know how you get along !
