Hello FuturePilot,
Nice job, anxious to see more of your work.
@ captjames,
this is valid for all repaints you want to use on another CS737-200 type. The secret is in the aircraft.cfg
Example: CS' paint3 as it is in the base-pack e.g.-200

737 Captain (737-200) v1.0\n(c) 2012 Captain Sim www.captainsim.comif you want to use it with the ADVanced expansion you have to:
- of course copy the texture set directory into the directory CS_B737-200ADV
- open the aircraft.cfg file in the root of CS_B737-200ADV directory.
- copy /paste the aircraft file details (see above) into the aircaft.cfg file as the subsequent aircraft to the already existing ones. Change the X to the subsequent number otherwise it will not show in FSX.
- change the line "model=200" into "model=adv" (the "sim=csx732" line has not to be changed as it is the same for both variants. This one changes with the C/F expansion into "sim=csx733" and the model changes into "model=c" Combi and "model=f" Freighter)
- Change the "ui_type=737-200" into "ui_type=737-200ADV" ("ui_type=737-200C" for the Combi and "ui_type=737-200F" for the Freighter)
- Update the description if you like.
- Save the aircraft.cfg file.
- Go to an existing ADV texture (f.expl.: texture.klm) directory and copy / paste / overwrite the texture.cfg file into your new texture dir. (it's for the fallbacks e.g. textures which are common to all aircraft textures in their basic paint and not included in the repaint.)
I recommend you read the aircraft.cfg description in the FSX SDK where everything is explained in details.
In general you can use all of the repaints with all the variants it's a matter of adjusting the aircraft.cfg file as described. Works also the other way around using an adv/combi or freighter repaint for the base-pack 200.
brgds, Lex
