Just copy and past the textures in the rnzaf texture folder after unzipping

I see that the CFS2_ALPHA PBY-5 Catalina.zip (which is a complète aircraft and not only skins) is located in the warbird library in the CFS2 "skins-other" section and not in the CFS2 "aircraft - other section". Is it normal?

Hi guys
i,ve d/l "snafu snatchers" skin and at read me says

" Copy Texture.Snafu Snatchers folder to your ALPHA PBY-5A Catalina folder.

Open your aircraft config. Copy this section to your aircraft
config changing the [fltsim.X] number to your sequence of numbers.
That's it!

[fltsim.X]
title=ALPHA PBY-5A Catalina SNAFU Snatchers
sim=pby5
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=Snafu Snatchers"

the quest is what model shall i use "bc" or "ny" to have the bird as amphibian?

cheers
 
"Snafu Snatchers" Alpha PBY-5A skin

For the Alpha PBY-5 (sea plane , no wheel) :
if the textures are named like "PBY_NavyYellow_xxxxxxx" you have to use the "ny" model (file named "ALPHA_PBY5_USN_early.mdl").
if they are named like "PBY_USBlack_xxxx" you have to use the "bc" model (file named "ALPHA_PBY5_BlackCat.mdl").


For the Alpha PBY-5A (amphibian plane with wheels)
the textures are named like "PBY_USBlack_xxxxx" and you have to use the "normal" model (file named "ALPHA_BlackCat_Amphibian.mdl")

I suppose, looking at the informations in the "read file" you posted, that this skin is for the PBY-5A (amphibian) plane

By the way, where did you get this "snafu snatchers" skin

Cheers

I downloaded the skin. It is made for the FS 2004 Alpha PBY-5A
To use it with the CFS2 Alpha PBY-5A conversion, you have to change the name of the textures marked "PBY_USAFBlue_xxxx" into "PBY_USBlack_xxxx". I did it, it works well.

To use the skin with the CFS2 Alpha PBY-5 (even if the Snafu is a PBY-5A model) you have to change the name of the textures marked "PBY_USAFBlue_xxxx" into into"PBY_NavyYellow_xxxxx_t" and also to change or add some other textures, but it is not quite easy. I did it also
If you want them, tell me, I will up load them

Cheers
