Christopher Twigger 129240 Posted July 22, 2014 at 07:35 PM Posted July 22, 2014 at 07:35 PM Hi Guys. I'm trying to setup vPilot for my first flight on Vatsim. I have downloaded all of the IVAO_MTL textures for FSX and ensured that fsx.cfg is correctly congfigured to use them. I have used VMRGenerator to create a custom rule matching set for vPilot, however all aircraft texures are plain white with no liveries. Please help, i know this doesn't affect how the Sim runs but it takes away from the realism and it annoys the hell out of me Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Shannon Posted July 22, 2014 at 09:01 PM Posted July 22, 2014 at 09:01 PM I'm going to make the [Mod - Happy Thoughts]umption that you didn't add an entry to your FSX.cfg file that essentially tells FSX where to load the MTL library from. Locate your FSX.cfg file (located in your %appdata%\Microsoft\FSX directory). Locate the [Main] heading. You should see something similar to this: [Main]FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15 HIDEINFOTEXT=1 HideMenuFullscreen=1 HideMenuNormal=0 Location=835,503,1328,833,\\.\DISPLAY1 Maximized=2 PerfBucket=7 ProcSpeed=18520 SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter If yes, then the following entry to your FSX.cfg file underneath the SimObjects\Misc entry (where X is the next number in sequence): SimObjectPaths.X=SimObjects\IVAO_MTL Doing so, it should look something like this now: [Main]FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15 HIDEINFOTEXT=1 HideMenuFullscreen=1 HideMenuNormal=0 Location=835,503,1328,833,\\.\DISPLAY1 Maximized=2 PerfBucket=7 ProcSpeed=18520 SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc SimObjectPaths.6=SimObjects\IVAO_MTL User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter This will only work if you have the IVAO_MTL library installed in the MainFSXDirecotry\SimObjects\IVAO_MTL folder. Save your config file and reload FSX; the model matching should now work as expected.

Eric Kollat 1250947 Posted July 23, 2014 at 02:51 PM Posted July 23, 2014 at 02:51 PM Are the IVAO_MTL files that you installed listed in the SimObjects folder as defined in the CFG file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted July 23, 2014 at 06:16 PM Posted July 23, 2014 at 06:16 PM This doesn't look like a model installation issue to me. Looks like the models are loading fine, but the textures are not. I've never seen that before ... maybe a video driver problem? Seems unlikely since *some* of the textures are loading fine, like the Ryanair. Are you using DirectX 10 preview mode?

Ross Carlson Posted July 23, 2014 at 07:11 PM Posted July 23, 2014 at 07:11 PM Have you tried turning off DX10 preview? I have heard not all model set textures are compatible.
