OK mate. When I say put your files back.. I mean take the files out that I sent you yesterday for the test (aircraft.cfg and airfile) and bin them. That will leave you with the renamed airfile and aircraft.cfg you started with. Rename them so they're active. Remove any reference to the VA-153 paints you had in your aircraft.cfg and delete the VA-153 texture textures from the 0_1 folder.

Open the zip file I sent and drop the entire folder (Virtavia A-4E_F_Skyhawk) into your Simobjects/Airplanes folder.

What you SHOULD end up with is all your Skyhawk folders PLUS the new Virtavia A-4E_F_Skyhawk folder sitting below them.

Think of it this way. Put your Virtavia A-4 Skyhawk 0-1 Clean back to how it was before you ever heard of the VA-153 repaint.. bin the paint and remove any reference to it in the aircraft.cfg.

The alternative is too complicated to even contemplate. This really IS the easy way.

I don't have that renamed airfile and aircraft.cfg - right now, I don't have any in there (0-1 Clean folder). I added that Virtavia_A-4E_F_SkyhawkGE.zip to the A4 folder, it is at the bottom of all the other A4 files.
So what do I use for an Aircraft.cfg and .air file for the first 0-1 clean folder?
 
You should be able to leave your old Skyhawk installation untouched.

All you really have to do is copy the needed files and folders from it into the folder with the repaints.

Yes, it takes up more room on your hard drive this way, because you are duplicating dada...
..but it makes things much simpler than trying to re-do the stock Skyhawk folder.

Hopefully.. we've crossed this bridge. I've sent Butch new aircraft.cfg and airfiles for his 0-1 folder (latest versions with no trace of VM-153) so that's done. Re where you've put the files I sent Butch..

The zip file is called Virtavia_A-4E_F_SkyhawkGE.zip and the folder inside it doesn't have the GE suffix. Take the entire folder from inside the zip and drop it into your Airplanes folder.. JUST your airplanes folder. Treat it as a completely new model. ;)
