Adding aircraft livery's to default FSX 737

Hi,

I'm having some trouble adding liverys to my default 737-800 in FSX. I downloaded a painted 737 from my Virtual Airline and I tried to use the texture pack on my default FSX 737. The reason I am doing this is because I like having the virtual cockpit and the aircraft i downloaded does not have one.

 

The problem is that the aircraft shows up with no livery at all. just black. the panel is black also. I went through the tutorials of how to add livery and I believe I have it right. I edited the FSX 737 aircraft.cfg file and copied the texture pack into the default FSX 737 folder. The only difference I see between the default texture packs and the texture pack I added was that the texture pack I added had all .bmp images, and the default 737 texture packs are all .dds images. Could this be the problem?

 

Thanks

Which VA did you download the textures from? Are the textures made for the FSX 737, or some other aircraft?

 

Cheers!

The downloaded aircraft most likely is not the FSX default 738, and the textures won't work on the FSX model. Textures are model-specific.
