Hey guys, just got a question. I downloaded the file SC130H.ZIP (a C-130) and then tried to install the CAF textures found in c130caf2.zip (I got both from FlightSim.com). So then I went into FS and tried to select the plane. When I chose either of the CAF textures in the "select aircraft" part, the aircraft viewer turned black. And when I hit ok, the sim crashed. Any ideas? I actually just want to use these planes as AI. Thanks so much!

"Thanks so much!"
You're welcome, Kevin . . . it isn't everyone who's thanked me for my over-1300 SimV posts.

These C-130 files are 256 colors

You may be pleased to hear these C-130 files are Extended 256 colors which makes them one-third the filesize of DXT3; this is due to the fact they do not come with alpha channels but does make them better for AI use.

Cool...thanks for the info! Just to let you know, I'm creating AI in CFB Trenton, where I spent 3 weeks this summer (I'm in Air Cadets). I'm putting C-130s, C-140s, CC-144s, etc. flying around.
