Fedex Livery problem

Ok this is going to sound stupid but oh well. I downloaded a fedex livery that was made for captain sim 757 fs9 that is said to work with fsx just install using ace. Now iv searced avsim and flightsim for an fsx version but its like it doesnt exist which is kinda of wierd being that fedex actually use's this plane and one would think captain sim would have included it but none the less i could not find one. So i install the fs9 using ace and it says that it has installed correctly and should be listed in fsx so i start up fsx and its not there. Check the config file for the new fedex entry and its there. I have know idea what im doing wrong but apparentlly ppl have gotten this to work so can someone please help out.

Thanks

First i would confirm the texture folder name and what is in the aircraft.cfg

here is mine from the aircraft.cfg

texture=fedex_RR

and the folder name is texture.fedex_RR

Remember if there is no thumbnail then dont look for the image of the aircraft, as long as those two match it should show up so confirm you have the folder in the cs 757 200 F folder in simobjects/airplanes.

Thanks for the reply however im pretty sure i have those exact same entries but ill check to be sure when i get home. Its almost like fsx is seeing it as an ai aircraft which would not allow me to see it but none the less ill confirm this tonight when i get back home.

Because it is made for FS9, things are a bit different in the description.txt so it is entered into the aircraft.cfg wrong. Although this is for the David Sweetman FS9 757 Freighter FedEx RR, the same applies to the FedEx PW.

[fltsim.2]
title=Captain Sim 757 Freighter FSX Paint1
sim=cs757-FRR <---- this is wrong
model=RRLWL <---- this model doesn't exist, so you wont see the aircraft
panel=
sound=
texture=fedex_RR
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=N757FE
atc_airline=Fedex
atc_flight_number=N757FE
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_types=
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=757-200 Freighter RR
ui_variation=Fedex
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
description=Repaint by Dave (Dax) Sweetman. Please feel free to send me comments. Email davesweetman@onetel.com
visual_damage=1

So change it to this:

[fltsim.2]
title=Captain Sim 757 Freighter FSX Paint1
sim=cs757-F
model=RR
panel=
sound=RR
texture=fedex_RR
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=N757FE
atc_airline=Fedex
atc_flight_number=N757FE
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_types=
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=757-200 Freighter RR
ui_variation=Fedex RR
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
description=Repaint by Dave (Dax) Sweetman. Please feel free to send me comments. Email davesweetman@onetel.com
visual_damage=1

(red text is the changes made) and you should see it.

Mark

Edited:
There is a file named CS.jpg file in the texture.fedex_RR folder. Rename it to thumbnail.jpg and you get a nice pic of it when selecting the aircraft.
