Dear Milton

Milton,

I am sorry I don't know how to zip it as a attachment but if you go to FTSIM.COM under FS9 files
and look up turboprops you will see the paint for the AN 24rv it says paint for Tajikistan Airlines.


Thank you for your help

Casey

Hello Casey,

Found it, unfortunately can't download yet unless I buy a membership as free downloads are restricted at the moment.

Give me some time to look at it and I will get back to you.

EDIT: Okay, bought a membership, downloaded and inspected the textures. I see no issues with the prop textures.

I am curious however if any textures are showing on the aircraft for you as the Fltsim sections requires changes to get them to work.

The Fltsim sections included look like this and I believe need to change as suggested in RED.

[fltsim.x] Increment -----------------------USES RV Model--------------------------
title=AI An-24RV TZK_46602
sim=CIS_AN24
model=RV/enhanced ??? Does your model folder look like this? Otherwise change it to match
texture=TZK\EY-46602 Remove TZK/ per teh included texture folders
atc_airline=TAJIKISTAN
atc_id=EY-46602
ui_manufacturer=CIS
ui_type=Antonov An-24RV
ui_variation=Air Tajikistan/ Tajikistan Airlines (EY-46602)
prop_anim_ratio=-0.1
description=CIS Traffic Team Antonov An-26 /...Paint by; Frank Severino
atc_parking_types=GATE, RAMP
atc_parking_codes=TZK


[fltsim.x+1] Increment
title=AI An-24RV TZK_46802
sim=CIS_AN24
model=RV/enhanced Make match your model folder name
texture=TZK\EY-47802 Remove TZK/
atc_airline=TAJIKISTAN
atc_id=EY-47802
ui_manufacturer=CIS
ui_type=Antonov An-24RV
ui_variation=Air Tajikistan/ Tajikistan Airlines (EY-47802)
prop_anim_ratio=-0.1

The proper functioning of all these blurred prop textures relies on the alpha channel remaining intact even if you re-size the textures or change format. In FSX, a misnamed or missing texture will be black but in FS9, they are usually the base model color which is often a light gray. or in a prop mesh case, slightly opaque.
