Help with Alpha PBY5A ... tires w/o wheel rims

I was working with Bob Chicilo's rework of the old Alpha FS9thumbnail.jpg PBY for FSX and I have a teeny problem. There are no wheel rims ... just tires. I've looked through the texture files but can't identify where/what they are. Anyone ever play with repainting one?

Thanks

I downloaded it from the AlphaSim Freeware site and took a look and the rims are modeled. . .it's not a texture, so I have no idea what that guy could have messed with to cause the modeling not to show. Look closely at the tires. . .is it possible that the color is what's missing? If you see spokes in that black area where the rims should be, then it's possible a material is what's missing not a texture.

I have no problems with this Alpha freebie...
I did several repaints and they all show OK... If wanted... I can make the repaints and model available...
To wit,

That would be great. I need a good PBY/OA-10A for my FSX and FSX Acceleration CBI set-ups. I have the Aerosoft version for Acceleration and was hoping to use the Alpha update for regular FSX. I will sure be grateful for your help.
 
just PM me with what you need or want...
