Need HELP / Failed attempts to install repaint

Post by Eagle Spirit » Mon Apr 24, 2017 5:30 pm

I've done many repaint installs in the past, but recent attempts have failed. :(
In the past I simply copied / pasted the texture files to the main AC folder, then coped / pasted the read me files into the aircraft .CFG, numbering sequentially, successfully :lol:

I've provided the repaint texture files for the AC repaints I'm trying to install. Everything in aircraft .CFG seem to be as the previous installed files, so I thought the problem might in the repaint texture file edit.

Texture files

This is the JASDF. I edited the first line, to no avail! :(
[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\..\F-15E\texture
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture

Milviz F-15E Texture 65.129 (Agressor )
[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\texture
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture


Milviz F-15E Texture .65.480 (Agressor)
[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\texture
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture

Help would be appreciated. :ugeek:

Get the folder on screen, press Print Screen on your keyboard. Open an image editor like Gimp or Photoshop, press Ctrl V on your keyboard to paste the image in, and then do the edits as needed for highlighting the folders. Save the file as a png and post.

Now I can't even open AC cfg (paint) "not a valid file"

Will uninstall F-15E. To much time spent. How do I delete ALL ordinance. Manual?

WTH? I used installer to uninstall but F-15E still in AC selection!

Patience. I'm here to help you. For now, delete the Milviz F-15E folder from your airplanes folder, as well as the MILVIZ- objects in the same location. Then re-install.

It seems (I'm guessing English is not your native language) there was some misunderstanding of my instructions regarding the screenshot. I thought you managed to get a picture but it seems you tried to open the aircraft cfg in Microsoft paint instead?

Sorry Jonathan, I didn't see the 2nd page, and thought you were washing your hands of this. I'd like to continue at your convenience. Also, contacted RD1 for input.

"English", yes. I failed to get picture. I know your here to help. Very much appreciated. I'm following your instructions atm.

Reinstalled. Took her up for a few hours of familiarization and manual review. "She's" beautiful. Would love to see F-15E updated. So much potential.
