Here is a copy of an email I sent to Matt Hinchliffe but it bounced. No way to contact him exept through here, maybe ?

If anybody can forward this to Matt or suggest a fix I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi Matt.

I am trying to install your RAF VP952 re paint into the CBFS DH104 Dove in FSX.

I do this a lot so I am quite familiar with the procedure. I downloaded your re paint
from Simviation.

The thumbs don't appear in FSX and the aircraft menu interface description is there as
VP952 under the picture but when the plane loads it is in Morton livery.

Looking at the cfg copied here it says TEXTURE = MORTON, doesn't seem right ?

[fltsim.#]
title=de Havilland DH104 RAF VP952
sim=DH104_BW6_2
model=3
panel=
sound=
texture=Morton
kb_checklists=DH104_check
kb_reference=DH104_ref_2
ui_manufacturer=de Havilland
ui_type=Devon
ui_variation=DH-104 Devon C2 VP952
atc_id=VP952
atc_airline=RAF
atc_flight_number=VP952
description=The RAF's first (and last) operational Devon was retired to the RAF Museum, where it is kept in beautiful condition. n\ Repaint by Matt Hinchliffe n\ forum-design.co.uk/air

Any ideas for a fix ?

Thanks & regards. Tim Brown.

Rename the Morton name to whatever the paint folder is called.

It can be anything if you need to rename it as long as the texture = line matches.

Couldn't find the paint on Simviation, but found it on Flightsim.com

Garry is right, it should read:

texture=VP952

Sorry Dave I accidentally double posted then deleted the first one !

You probably replied to that !

My mistake, it was Flightsim not Simviation !

Cheers, Tim
