    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

XP-54 texture question

I've got all of Milton's excellent XP-54 series on the machine and all textures are displaying correctly save one:

attachment.php


It's supposed to be displaying the plain metal texture but I get this instead. Gotta be something I'm doing. Here's the .cfg entry:

title = Vultee XP-54 plain metal
sim =xp54
model =milbump
panel =mil
sound = Chrysler
texture =XP54 plain metal
kb_checklists =
kb_reference =Readme
atc_id =11210
atc_model =XP-54
atc_parking_codes =USAAF
atc_parking_types =MIL_COMBAT
atc_airline =US Army Air Force
atc_flight_number =TEST
ui_createdby ="Milton Shupe"
ui_typerole ="Prototype Fighter"
ui_manufacturer =Vultee
ui_type =XP-54
ui_variation =Military 11210
description =The Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose was a prototype fighter built by the Vultee Aircraft Company for the United States Army Air Forces. Flight tests of the first prototype, 41-1210, began on January 15, 1943 at Muroc Dry Lake, California.
visual_damage =0

Am I using the incorrect model?

Somehow your livery is displaying the wireframe of the the model. . .were you using that to do the livery and failed to turn it off. Very odd!
 
I figured that was what I was seeing. If I could figure out how I did that I'd be able to tell you - I think. Would it help if I were able to somehow show what's in the texture folder?

EDIT: Just opened up a few files using DXT.BMP. The fuselage_t.dds file in the "texture.xp54 plain metal" file is in 2048X2048; the .bump and .spec files in the "texture.common" file are in 4096. If I'm guessing its function properly the "texture.cfg" file in the "texture.xp54 plain metal" folder should allow for the two to work together.

I just put the plain metal texture folder into the aircraft folder and made the necessary addition to the .cfg file. Still trying to figure out how this happened.

Seems to me you must be running a test/beta version.
The only set that uses the milbump model is the _00 set.
Here is a screenshot of what my aircraft.cfg [fltsim.00] looks like.
Compare to yours.
