Make sure you also add the texture in CFG File (cfg)

[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\texture
fallback.2=..\..\CS_B777-200ER_GE\texture
fallback.3=..\..\CS_B777-200ER_GE\texture\night
fallback.4=..\..\CS_B777-200ER_GE\texture\spec
fallback.5=..\..\CS_B777-200ER_GE\texture\bump

Which liveries you want to add on?

Hi, charliebravo,

I think that the problem is that earlier versions of the Captain Sim 777 did not have the PW model.  I have the UNITEDGRAY repaint, N788UA, which is of a PW model (all United T7s  ending in "UA" are PW versions; ones ending with a number are former Continental aircraft with GE engines).   I downloaded UNITEDGRAY through Captain Sim's website.   It had the same missing engine texture problem as you describe.  

However after reading your post I moved it to the GE 200ER folder and now it works.  The UNITEDGRAY texture was created in June, 2011, most likely before Captain Sim included the PW 200ER model.  So I have to conclude UNITEDGRAY was designed for the earlier model, which is the GE model.

Installing an older PW texture in the PW 200ER folder won't work even with the texture.cfg file pointing to the GE folder, as the model "looks" first in the PW folder.  Since an engine texture with the correct name (but designed for the GE model) is in the texture file, the model will never "look" for engine textures in the GE folder.

To make a long story short, engine textures for 777-200ER PW aircraft created before the 200ER PW model was available, won't work with the PW model, but should work with the GE model.

Whether the PW engines are textured or not, seems to depend on the texture cs777_6_T.dds.

Here is what I mean:


The left half of the image, shows what the original cs777_6_T.dds texture, done by Marcelo Veneziale, for the Boeing House livery looked like. Using it, the 777-200ER_PW's engines were untextured. On the right half of the image, you can see that I copied and added the bottom part to the top part, and now the 777-200ER_PW's engines ARE textured (the only problem is that they are labeled as GE engines on PW engines )

That got it working for me, and switching between the two different DDS file, meant that with one, they were textured and with the other they were not textured.

Just to let you know, I did try to edit the texture template (cs777_6_T) for the aircraft I would like to see in the CS 777-200PW variant aircraft folder and it woked just as you described!

Thank you again for the time you took to identify the problem and more importantly, the solution to the problem.

Regards

Yes it is.
