With any aircraft repaint you download, you must add a section in the aircraft.cfg that looks like this:

Quote:

[fltsim.0]

title=Beech Baron 58

sim=Beech_Baron_58
model=
panel=
sound=

texture=

kb_checklists=Beech_Baron_58_check
kb_reference=Beech_Baron_58_ref
atc_id=N700MS
ui_manufacturer=Beechcraft
ui_type=Baron 58

ui_variation=White with blue and gold

description=With the wonderful control harmony that is the hallmark of the Bonanza line, the Beech Baron 58 is considered a classic light twin. The Baron 58 is the spiffed-up version of a time-tested favorite, made more modern by its new Continental Special engines. The Baron combines the attractiveness of Beechcraft design with the reliability of twin engines, resulting in a gorgeous workhorse of an aircraft.

The bits in red are the stuff that needs changing for the new repaint to show up. The [fltsim.0] should be changed to the next available number. Check down the page of text to find the last entry number, then copy the last one and add one to the number. [fltsim.3] would become [fltsim.4]. The texture= line needs to say the name of the folder the new texture set is in. For example, if the folder is named texture.3, then the line should read texture=3. The other two sections can be whatever you want them to be, but they must be different for the textures to work correctly.

You could always try my tute. It started life as a walkthrough for Andrew. He liked it & persuaded me to post it at the Lair.
