I have two Corsair repaints, in TEXTURE.1 and TEXTURE.29, I have editted the Aircraft.cfg, etc and they show up fine in game when only one is around.  But about half the time when I am looking from one to the other, I see the wrong texture (ie, in Big Hog, look at what should be Kepford's Corsair, but see another Big Hog).  Sometimes changing views (external, VC, HUD) will also change the texutre I see, as will zooming sometimes.  Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this?  I'm thinking it may have somthing to do with them being in the same folder.

Also, When I am looking at my own Corsair I see the numbers on the gear doors, one normal the other  mirrored.  But changing zoom and sometimes the direction I am looking at my plane from the two number will switch, the one that was mirrored is now normal and the normal one is now mirrored.  Any ideas on how to stop this too?

Thanks a lot

This is for CFS2, guess I should have mentionned that.

"configure each repaint separately" - Do you mean make a new aircraft folder for each plane or something else?

"change the texture names & hex edit the MDL" - Are there certain ways to name the textures, or will anything go?  Also, how would I go about hex editting the MDL, and what would I need to change?

Just read through it and it looks good.  I'll try it out next week after my exams are done with and let you knwo how it turned out.

Thanks a lot.

Yes it can be done. You would need to configure it as a "2 in1" like the FS2002 defaults & repaints. http://www.simviation.com/lair/Repaint2002.htm
To avoid the texture conflict in CFS2 this would involve moving the new MDL file & Model.cfg into a separate subfolder (named something like Model.1). Leave the renamed texture in the Texture folder. Then add a new [fltsim.x] entry to Aircraft.cfg pointing the model= entry to the Model.1 folder. model=1
I find there's no real advantage to this method & prefer to configure each repaint separately. You can alias panel & sound to the original to keep the file size down.

OK, try using the same AIR file for both versions. The [fltsim.1] entry should look like this.

[fltsim.1]
title=F4U-1B Corsair Test
sim=F4U1A_Corsair
model=1
panel=
sound=
texture=
KB_checklists=f4u1a_corsair_check

You can use any name you wish for the title= entry as long as it's different for each [fltsim.x] section. Check them out in Free Flight first to make sure they both work properly.

I don't think configuring the repaints as separate aircraft will make any difference to the "100 plane" limit if that's what you're worried about.
