757-300 Textures cant be removed using ACE

Hello,

Installed latest version 1404 and was testing the aircraft, added all expansion, etc.    After a while y noticed a problem with the B757-300 expansion.   Some liveries were duplicated in my SIM, but not actually duplicated in my aircraft.CFG file.

Decided to delete liveries and reinstall them, but didnt work.
I unistalled and reinstalled the 753 since is only happening with this expansion, but no luck....  Undecided

Also noticed that, even with a fresh reinstall, even removing everything from the 753 liveries and trying to re--download again using ACE,  i still find the sign:  " INSTALLED" in the upper corner of the repaint images, but actually there are no liveries installed indeed, no folders, not present in aircraft.cfg, but still visible in SIM.  Cheesy 

Can i manually remove those extra liveries?    Why is this happening? (Images available, i just cant post it yet)

Thanks in advance for support,

When the ACE downloads the livery, it saves it in <FlightSim>\Captain_Sim\757-III\ace\zip. Once it has installed the livery, it does not delete the livery zip file it downloaded, so maybe if you delete that file, the ACE will then believe that the livery is no longer installed.

May we see all the data from the top down to [General] section of the aircraft.CFG file?

Thanks, but still present all bugs...

I deleted the ZIP from the ZIP folder, and algo checked the CFG.... nothing at all, but those liveries continue to appear in P3D and still indicate "Installled".

Sad

See attachment,

Still present in ACE, but i can download it and use it....its just that 2 textures appear in P3d, one of them blacky and the other one ok........

The problem:   is that going to happen for every random livery i use from CS?.....   (I notice its not happening for many other downloaded liveries)

Thanks for support

Before we start looking for any "bugs" we need to see all the data from the top down to [General] section of the aircraft.cfg file, or just attach the aircraft.cfg file.

Hello, i found the error.

After you suggested something in CFG i decided to examine that file inside each variant.    So i found that CS_B757-300-III_RB535E4B had the airplanes i wanted(United   N77867, Icelandair TF FIX2 and a Condor model)....But ......Also found that CS_B757-200-III_RB535E4B also contained those models without the "#2" and still indicating a problem about the modewl 200/300 inside aircraft CFG as you can see in the attached picture  "Found Error".    You can see the 757-200 CFG attached as "Aircraft Blacky error.CFG"

Here you can see the picture "Found Error".   Notice that it is a 200 model but,  WHY is the ACE duplicating those aircrafts in 200 if they are actually 300 models?

Why is it random?  apparently?   Or is there some bug other problem about the livery installation itself?...  Roll Eyes

In the first aircraft.cfg of your image (left side), it shows that the sim=cs757-300_RB535E4Bw, yet in the second aircraft.cfg (right side), it shows that the sim=cs757-200_RB535E4Bw.

What do the texture.cfg files show (found in the texture.xxx folder), and is there only a single folder for the livery, or more? I know in your first post, you stated you had duplicates, but are they still there, or did you delete the duplicates?

ACE works fine. But there could be errors in some free liveries configs, so always check (edit if requred) all ACE fields before adding a new livery.

I had the duplicates because somehow ACE created the entries in both planes 753 and 752..... just adding the "#2" thingy to solve it.     Why?   Dont know, you can test it with those specific liveries.

The images show the problem.    I solved by deleting from 752CFG the entries that are supposed to be in 753CFG only, and voilah!,   as a matter of fact, during installation, those 753 liveries entries got to 752 as well somehow....

But now it is solved.  Thanks for the information provided, it was very very useful.   

Lets go flying! Wink

I dont know why, but for some liveries the config files are mixed?( titles and names)... 

Thanks to you guys i got the info to solve it, but it´ll be healthy to check CFGs on the database... Well, you got those 3 (United, Condor and Icelandair 753)...  Hope this helps others. 

Thanks for support  Cool

It's totally up to the artist to name their repaints. +Errare humanum est

If we'd start checking all the repaints content, we have to stop working on production.
