FA 18 tiger repaint
« on: August 22, 2008, 02:56:12 pm »
Has anyone done the tiger repaint like in the CS version?  I recall reading someone having a go but no searches have revealed a download anywhere.  I know the CS repaints and the Acceleration version are compatible but I don`t have the CS one.

Hi Reider,

Sadly, I think the answer might be along the same lines as was given to "tazzharm" today who posted a similar question.

At the time of writing I don't think there are any paintkits out there other than the payware CS one. You could try contacting Fael097. He used to hang out on the forum although I haven't seen him here in a while. He did quite a lot of repainting (with the CS paintkit I believe) and he might be able to help. See this link:

Hi Reider,

I hope this could be interesting for you, I found a set of liveries for the F/A-18 Acceleration here:
http://www.flightsimulatorx.it/download/aerei.php
It's a set of great liveries, in which is included also the canadian tiger, the same of CS one.
The web site is in italian language, but I think you will not encounter to much problems to download the set.
Bye!

Andrea

Many many thanks, I got a few textures for different aircraft from there.  I must look for some EH101 textures at some point too.

Reider ; I tried to install the Canadian Tiger paint ,then tried to install them all ,No Joy
,on either try  :(.I don't read or speak Italian ,Was there anything  "special" you did to
download and install those  repaints. I downloaded a rather large file,42.3MB than
unzipped it to my desktop than installed ( by  copy and  paste method ) into the
SimObjects/Airplanes/FA-18   folder . Did I miss something in the Italian "Read me"
I have Added many textures in the past and have not encountered this before. :-[
Any insight appreciated
Thank you
Randy

After you copy the folders of the textures you must add the right text lines in the aircraft.cfg otherwise you'll see nothing; this is valid for all textures of all planes not only for this package

As above.  Except one thing. Its just a case of pasting the texture folders in that you want. Make sure any numbers or descriptions in the texture names, for example texture.18 and texture.21 match those of the actual texture folders.  These are my listings for the two textures I wanted to see (in the aircraft.cfg), the numbers have to follow on from the existing ones so if they end at 13 currently the next one in line has to be 14, then 15.  The actual texture folder names have to match these same numbers or the wrong textures are called and nothing displays.
