"it won't show textures from thier Airbus collection"

Cannot computer, insufficient information. Any clues as to who thier is?

Not all FS9 aircraft will show up in FSRepaint; i.e., Rick Piper's HS.748

I suspect that you're getting a "Direct X Error - " message.

That implies a video driver mismatch.

Check what you version of FS REpaint is - mine is 1.22.55, and I have an issue with some textures using the "hardware rendering" option. The textures will load perfectly using "software rendering".

I have an ATI Radeon 9000 and using Catalyst 4.12 drivers (later drivers cause issues with another nl ine game).

Using software rendering the Airbus Fleet textures show up.

As an aside, no, Rick Piper's 748 will not show up in either software or hardware rendering.

Abacus' own Premium and Platinum collection models, because of the way the are protected, will also not be renerable in FS Repaint.

Felix....Why is that...The protection thingy?
Capt. Sim....The A-36 and Baron from F-1...Why dont they show up? I had some help on the Capt Sim 757..They released a different paint kit that still needed a work around to get it show up....I just dont' understand why they have to protect them?...FSRepaint is the next best thing to sliced bread....

Remember that the Platinum and Premier collections from Abacus are "try before you buy", so if they're not protected, .... they might as well be freeware. The side effect is that they will not show up in FS Repaint.

Why Rick Piper's Freeware HS.748 doesn't show up is a mystery to him, me, and Abacus. It shows up when using VASS Gold (which is similar but works on FSDS SOURCE files), but not in FS REpaint (which renders the compiled file). Since this model was made with FSDS3, then it may seem that the model conversion through makemdl may mangle something. I've seen the same thing with some gmax models.
