No new textures

Whenever I try to add a texture to the CS 767-300, Like Thomas Cook, or the new Condor, or the United/Continental, the texture doesn't appear on FSX. I tried manual installation, and it still doesn't appear., (What I mean is no thumbnail;FSX doesn't recognize it) I have the Mcphat united repaint  though.

Look in the texture.xxx folder and see if there actually is a thumbnail.jpg file in it.

I'm having the same problem with an Icelandair repaint for the 757-200 (and yes, there is a thumbnail).

Make sure that the spelling is correct, sometimes the thumbnail.jpg is spelt thumnail.jpg (missing the letter b). If it is spelt wrong, it isn't recognized by FSX. I think it has to be a JPG file too.

I think the problem for me was the ui_type had it listed as a 757-208--and that was just one of several errors I had corrected earlier.

No, It would show unidentified aircraft picture. FSX isn't even recognizing the repaint exists.

Is it using an already existing fltsim number? The [fltsim.XX] number is the same as the one preceding it? Only the first one shows if that happens.

If you want to, you can you paste the entry in the aircraft.cfg in here and I'll see if I can spot the problem.

Thats the cfg. I haven't touched anything, as everything looks in perfect order.

Is that ^ everything that found under [fltsim.15]? No more?
Look at how long [fltsim.16], below, is compared to [fltsim.15] above.

[fltsim.16]
title=CS 767-300 Condor New
sim=B767-300PW
model=pw5
panel=
sound=PW
texture=condor2
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=N764A
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_types=
ui_manufacturer="Boeing"
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
ui_type="767-300 PW"
ui_variation="Condor"
description="767-300 Base Pack v1.4\n(c) 2009 Captain Sim www.captainsim.com repaint by Marco Negri contact marcon8122@gmail.com"

Everything in bold text, below, was missing. I tested this by "commenting" out those lines in my ninth 767-300 and every 767-300 that came after it was missing. It looks to me like the livery.cfg is incomplete (if you added it using ACE) or the info in the readme.txt was incomplete.

[fltsim.15]
title=CS 767-300 Thomas Cook
sim=B767-300GE
model=GE3
panel=
sound=GE

texture=THX_300
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=

atc_id=
atc_airline=Thomas Cook
atc_flight_number=
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby=Captain Sim
ui_type=767-300 GE
ui_variation= Thomas Cook 767-31K/ER
description='Repaint by a texture artist from McPhat Studios. David Sweetman,   Information and updates to my repaints and many other McPhat repaints, can be found at our website.  www.mcphatstudios.net.

So replace [fltsim.15] with what I have typed above, and all of the missing planes should "magically" appear.
