ACE File does not always work (Read 2249 times)

	Here is what I fail to understand. I place a texture file in the 727 ACE variant folder, go to the 727 ACE file to add the aircraft texture, it indicates it was added successfully, however once FSX is opened the new texture is NOT there. Any ideas as to why?

	My guess is that it wasn't really added. ACe thinks it was, but it wasn't. This can happen if the description.txt (or is it texture.txt?) which tells ACE which model it is being added to (among other things) is not included in the livery you downloaded. The new livery may need to be added manually, which should be described in the "readme.txt" included with the livery. Are you sure that the livery is for the model you are expecting to see it as (i.e. is it a 727-100 or a 727-200)?

Yes I'm sure about the same model, etc. so the alternative always is to do the manual install, however at times that does not take either even when all is done properly. Go figure. Thanks

	Sounds to me like you are using Vista/Win7/Win8, with FSX installed in the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\etc.). So you will need to run ACE as an administrator. Do this by right mouse clicking on ACE, select "Run as administrator" from the list that pops up, then add your livery in the normal way. This is a screenshot from the START menu in Win7, shows the list that pops after the 727's ACE shortcut has been clicked on using the right mouse button. It would look the same if I had right clicked on the EXE file (found in the FSX\Captain_Sim\727\ace folder) that is also shown on the right side of the screenshot. Hope this helps
