If you're wondering how to transfer a livery from the F/A-18D from to the acceleration hornet, this is how I did it with the Canadian tiger livery.
First of all, just copy the relevant texture map from the CS_FA-18D folder to the FA-18 folder.
next, open the aircraft.cfg file in the FA-18 folder (this is the acceleration hornet)
Scroll down to the last [fltsim.XX] entry, and just copy that so you have it twice.
Now change the 'XX' number in the last one to the next free number, in this way of working, just increase it by 1.
Next change the 'title= ', 'texture= ' and any other entry you want to edit.
(I'll add an example at the bottom)
the title has to be unique, the texture entry should be the name of the added texture folder, without the 'texture.' at the beginning.
now save and close the aircraft.cfg file.
the last step is to open a random texture folder (in the FA-18 folder of course) and copy the texture.cfg file to the folder you just added, overwriting the one inside.
This should do it, eventually, you can create a new thumbnail to go with it.
(just take a screenshot, crop and resize it to 256x128 pixels, save as a jpg called thumbnail and overwrite the old one)
here's a screenshot of the CS tiger livery on the acceleration hornet:
an example of the new [fltsim.XX] entry, this is the one I used to get the tiger livery in the acceleration hornet. (the last used number was 13, so the new texture became 14)
