You can't see the outside from the cockpit.

I use track ir in the pit , when I'm dodging sams or whatever . The livery is always Silver Kings , even though I have a different livery selected .
But if i go to outside view , i then see my properly selected livery , RAF for example .
Back in the pit again , look over shoulder , its Silver Kings !

This one is a bit of a puzzler to us. We still haven't been able to figure out why it happens.

Its a known bug then ?
Its not a big deal , having a blast with the Phantom its awesome !
Its more an immersion thing that bugs me a bit , wondered if there was a quick fix in the cfg or something along those lines .

I don't have that model Jon, but could it be that the VC is aliased to the root livery? If so, then the way to "fix" would be to copy/paste the interior model to each livery's ..\model folder, then edit the model.cfg file to use that VC version instead of the root aliased version.

Actually is more than likely a glitch in the texture.cfg file

That is also a possibility. If the texture.cfg is as this though there should be no problem:
Code: Select all
[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\texture
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture

That is how they are in my folders.
The Silver Kings livery is in "texture" and "texture.2" folders here, I dont know if that makes a difference .

That then is the exact problem. The very purpose of the texture.cfg file is to redirect the sim to look in the current ../texture.x folder for the bitmaps. If some do not exist, then the sim should "fall back" to the root ..\texture folder for the missing bitmap(s).
In other words, the root ..\texture folder should contain only "common bitmaps" shared by all liveries.
The ..\texture.x folder(s) should only have bitmaps specific to a specific livery.
SOLUTION: Remove the "Silver Kings" bitmaps from the common ..\texture folder and problem is solved.

I tried it but I just get black textures . One thing i noticed is the Silver Kings Livery files in the texture folders are named differently. "F4E_11_ext.dds" for example in texture. In the texture.2 folder they are named "F4E_S_J_9_ext_diffuse.dds"
