I am sure that this has been discussed more than once before so I do apologize.
I am having a problem with loading new textures to my default aircraft in FS2002. I have read and followed all the tutorials on this site as well as all of the instructions included in the read me files etc. and it doesn’t seem that hard but I have had no luck. For example, I have been trying to download Sun Country textures to my default Boeing737. Following the instructions I am able to get the game to recognize the airline (i.e. Sun Country shows up in the airline drop down menu) but when I chose it the plane shows up unpainted. I am at a loss. I should mention that I am not extremely computer savvy so the most straight forward suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You!

Are the Sun Country textures you're trying to install specifically FOR the default 737?  If they're for some other non-default 737, then they probably don't have the same texture name, and won't show up.

What are the texture names that you're trying to install?
Do they come from some other (non-default 737) model?

Hi Gipman. The only Sun Country repaint I can find for the FS2002 default 737 is the one posted on this page. http://www.simviation.com/fs2002jets1.htm

Assuming this is the file you're having problems with, please read my walkthrough & follow the instructions carefully. http://www.simviation.com/lair/Repaint2002.htm

I tried it for you following my own instructions. The new texture is named b737_400_T.bmp. This is the result.

...

Please note that your new Texture folder can be any name you wish - providing it follows the FS folder naming conventions using a period - Texture.3, Texture.Red etc. The name of the folder after the period is defined in the texture= line of the new CFG entry. I named mine Texture.Sun with the corresponding entry

texture=Sun

I hope this is some help.
