I'm nearing the texturing phase of my C210 and started wondering about something that I'm sure "should" be obvious. You know how it is when you're this deep into something.. get a mental block and just NEED to know before you go anyfurther ?

Obviously you don't want to apply textures to every, single part.. and to this point.. I just assumed materials will do fine for minor parts. THEN.. I got to wondering.. When you define materials as you need them.. do they go with the model ? ..  As in.. will they show up on a computer running FS9 but NOT FSDS ? I'm pretty sure they will, but I can't stop thinking that those created materials got put into FS9.. or at least reside in the FSDS installation and woud not be on somebody else's computer...

I'll probably take a nap.. come back and read this and beat myself over the head for being so dense.. but like I said.. right now it's a mental block  ???

Thanks Felix...

I thought so, but I couldn't convince myself and didn't feel like loading FS9 on a second computer.. just to find out..
