Re: SkySim Hawk
No problem Dave. I just didn't want you to think that I had not tried to upload here - especially as you and Ben were so kind re the repaint pack.
Re: SkySim Hawk
Just a quick update - I have now finished five of the seven 'TWU grey' reserve/shadow squadrons - two more to go! If anyone is interested, pics are up at Simouthouse
Re: SkySim Hawk
if anyone is interested - all seven 'grey' TWU repaints are now up at Flightsim.com - one for each shadow/reserve squadron that flew the Hawk.
Cheers

Help with Skysim Hawk paintkit
Hi all, I'm new to the forum, having been attracted by the amazing freeware on offer here
I've recently downloaded the Skysim Hawk paintkit from CBFSim, but repaints show up all black when the aircraft is loaded in FSX. I've saved as a 24-bit BMP image then opened in DXTBMP, flipped the image and saved as DXT5. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same problems. I've double checked the .CFG file and all entries I've made in there are correct, any ideas?
Thanks, Mike

Re: SkySim Hawk
Hi all, I tried posting a topic on the forum but I don't know what happened to it
I can't get the paintkit for the Skysim Hawk to work, I save everything as a 24-bit BMP then flip and convert to DXT5 using DXTBMP, although in FSX the aircraft shows up plain black. I'm not sure what's happened, as I have checked the .CFG entries and they're all correct Any advice?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
Welcome aboard. The forum requires that the first couple of posts from new users are approved by moderators, hence why it wasn't showing up earlier.
With regards the Hawk, was it the paint kit or the Repaint Pack that you downloaded? A paint kit is provided for others to repaint the aircraft, so contains no liveries. The repaint pack is the one that contains the additional repaints.

Re: Help with Skysim Hawk paintkit
Hi Mike
I have the model but haven't tried the PK. I'll download it and take a look. The answer is probably a simple one but these, as we all know, are not always obvious
EDIT: Just a thought.. did you also copy a texture.cfg file from a 'like' paint into the new texture folder?

Re: SkySim Hawk
Ah I see about the post, sorry!
Yeah, it's the paintkit used to create repaints, I copied one of the Red Arrow .CFG entries and changed the "texture=" entry. I'm totally stumped!
