texture error

[cam]

first of all my Convairs with regards my earlier post are all running perfectly and look and feel great to fly, very pleased with them.

So, I decided now that I'm up and running with your planes in FSX to download a 707, a 707-320b and one of the textures i chose was the Omega Air by Dan Fontan from the 7th of April this year. The flight sim entry that came with the repaint had the line 'model=S2HK' but the model with the aircraft is '320B_early', so no problem I changed the flight sim entry to the latter but......the engine cowl textures are black.

Trying to be clever I put the S2HK model from the 707-320C in this aircraft folder changed the flight sim entry back to 'S2HK' but alas now the fuselage is black but the engine cowls are the right colours!

Looks like Dan may have inadvertantly placed the wrong engine textures with this repaint?

Well it isn't me placing the actual files in the zip ;-)

But I know who does, and I will spank hi accordingly, and ask him to fix it a.s.a.p.

Wait Dan.....

Don't do anything and disregard, I downloaded the earl base model instead of the Adv.

Apologies.

[Dan K. Hansen]

Ahh, only a real gentleman admits his errors ;-)

Glad your sorted!

Spanking cancelled!

YES !

It's very important that people update their aircraft basepacks in order to have the correct/latest version models, or FDE .... or "BOTH" !!!! .... to support their textures.

PLEASE NOTE .... a large number of original B707-138B, B707-320B ADVC, and B707-320C textures have recently been upgraded along with the release of new models for these aircraft.

Old version textures will not work properly with some of these new models.

Our current aircraft base pack all contain the latest version models.

All current textures are up-to-date in relation to these models .... with CFG/"ADD TO AIRCRAFT" data already correctly edited accordingly.

If anyone is unsure as to precisely what textures have been upgraded then please review old website update anouncements for both March, and April .... on our "NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS" forum page. Complete lists of what has been upgraded may be read within these announcements .... see "UPGRADED TEXTURES" section near the bottom of each announcement.
