Hi,
I notice that some of the new textures have not got the "specular" texture added to them, these are the USAF 096,165,329, and 537 yet 421 has them installed. Are they supposed to be missing or missed in error?

All of the liveries share some textures in common, all of which are located in the default ..\textures folder. In that folder are both specular and bump bitmaps that're used if the livery you chose doesn't have its own versions.

This is a feature unique to FSX and allows us to keep the installation's file sizes as small as possible. There's little point in having fourteen or more copies of the exact same bitmap after all! 8-)

Hi Bill,
Many Thanks for that. Never thought of looking in the texture folder what a plonker. :oops:

Some of the liveries that Gunnar painted demanded a slightly different specular map, which is why they are included in the texture.variant folders...

I purchased the new textures and find that 6 of them don't show up.
RAAF989
RCAF417
RNOAF D UMU
USAF329
USAFE 537
USAFE421

I CHECKED MY CONFIG FILE AND THEY ARE ALL THERE AND NUMBERED CORRECTLY. ALL THE TEXTURE FILES ARE WHERE THEY SHOULD BE ALSO. DID I MISS SOMETHING?
THANKS

Did you copy both the fighter and aerobatic cfg additions?

I found out the problem was due to 4 other textures I had put in. 4 Kings and a Queen ,Darling Dottie, Elise and Malobola. I found them on line before the new texture release.When I removed them and reconfigured the file all is well. Who knew?

A few liveries have some custom specs. This is done to enhance special effects like matt or reflecting areas 8-)

That's the reason all of the supplied entries have [fltsim.x] entries, as we've no way of knowing what your installations' "next sequential number" might be... 8-)
