Title: 757 Avianca Paint?
Post by Tim Capps on Oct 27th, 2013 at 7:51am
I'm having trouble with many of the links in the free liveries section.

I am looking for the 757 Avianca paint. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Any other South American carrier suggestions with available paints would be helpful. I like flying the "Worlds 100 Busiest Airports" routes in believable airplanes.

Hi,

and sorry for hijacking the thread, but I cannot post a new one...at least not yet. I have issues with the Fedex livery from the website. I copied all the t.dds files under simobject>> airplanes >> CS_B757-200F, >> texture.fdx, but I do not see it in FSX, which means something I did is not right. I appreciate if anyone will give me a helping hand....

After a few attempts, and some thought, I was finally able to install the FEDEX livery, it looks very nice...

Here is how I did it:

1. I created a new folder in the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200F folder, and named it texture.fedex

2. I extracted the files from within the downloaded zip file (I renamed my zip file, so I can't remember the name of the file that I downloaded) to the newly created texture.fedex folder.

3. I copied the texture.cfg from one of the other livery folders, texture.dhl, or texture.ups, and pasted it into the texture.fedex folder.

4. I added the following to the aircraft.cfg:

[fltsim.2]
title=Captain Sim 757-Freighter FSX 2
sim=cs757-F
model=RR
panel=
sound=RR
texture=fedex
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=N936FD
atc_airline=Fedex
atc_flight_number=757
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=757-200 Freighter RR
ui_variation=Fedex N936FD
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
ui_wglts=0
description=757 Captain (757 Freighter Expansion Model) v.4.6 FSX \n(c) 2011 Captain Sim \nwww.captainsim.com \n Fedex, 2010. Ex Monarch G-MONE bought by Fedex Nov 2008 for freighter conversion. Repaint by Jim Fryer for FSX June 2010


It shows up nicely in FSX/FSX-SE, so if you do it the way I did it, you should see the FedEx livery in the list, be able to select it.

Hi Mark,

that is exactly what I did to make it work. It took me a few attempts, as I figured out later I was not setting up properly the aircraft.cfg file. Once I set that file up, I was able to see the Fedex livery in FSX. Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated!
