Hi Lee.

I just had a close look at the files and I think you can just add them to the C-130 X-perience. You just need to know which model it is for and add it to the aircraft.cfg so you can see it.

For example, David Sweetman's 28 Squadron, SAAF, camo scheme (C-130B) might need to be added to the 'A' or 'E' model, seeing as there is no 'B' model. You can't use the ACE to add it because the description.txt is designed for use with the ACE for the Legendary C-130, whereas the ACE for the C-130 X-Perience needs a livery.cfg to get the information from. The livery.cfg is different to the description.txt, so you would need to open it, modify it to suit the C-130X ACE and save it as livery.cfg for it to work with your ACE




Now. I have uploaded 5 modified liveries for the C-130 X-perience Pro FSX. All were done by Morné Pieters and not by me! All I have done is convert them to DDS files and repack them for use with the C-130 X-perience FSX.

They are:

South African Air Force, 28 Squadron - 401.

South African Air Force 28 Squadron - 402.
http://rapidshare.com/files/2883319988/texture.saaf402.zip

South African Air Force 28 Squadron - 404.
http://rapidshare.com/files/2764638267/texture.saaf404.zip

South African Air Force 28 Squadron - 404 Bare Metal.

South African Air Force, 28 Squadron - 408.

If you take a look at the file names, texture.cfg and livery.cfg you will get an idea of what is needed to add a Legendary C-130 to the C-130 X-perience FSX. You do not need to flip the BMP files, nor do you need to convert them to DDS files to work with FSX. FSx will see and use the BMP files fine. See the attached image of South African Airforce, C-130B, Camoflage scheme by David Sweetman. It works nicely in FSX. I made it a C-130E.
