In order to get all the individual textures for your add-on planes, you will manually have to go in and manually change the ui_tags in the .cfg file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This original entry starts out like this...

[fltsim.4]
title=Piper PA22 Tripacer Amphibian Cargo Weathered
sim=pa22
model=c
panel=black
sound=
texture=c
prop_anim_ratio=0.31
kb_checklists=pa22_check
kb_reference=
visual_damage=1
atc_id=N774LB
atc_id_enable=1
atc_id_color=
editable=1
ui_manufacturer=Bill Lyons
ui_type=Piper
ui_variation=PA22 Tripacer Amphibian Cargo Weathered
description=\nThe Tri-Pacer is a remarkable aircraft with performance that...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

will need to end up looking something like this:


[fltsim.4]
title=Piper PA22 Tripacer Amphibian Cargo Weathered
sim=pa22
model=c
panel=black
sound=
texture=c
prop_anim_ratio=0.31
kb_checklists=pa22_check
kb_reference=
visual_damage=1
atc_id=N774LB
atc_id_enable=1
atc_id_color=
editable=1
ui_manufacturer=Piper
ui_type=PA22 Tripacer Amphibian Cargo Weathered
ui_createdby=Bill Lyons
ui_typerole="Single Engine Float Plane"
description=\nThe Tri-Pacer is a remarkable aircraft with performance that...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Note the elimination of the

ui_variation=

tag and the creation of the

ui_createdby=Bill Lyons
ui_typerole="Single Engine Float Plane"

If you do not do this, you will only get the first variation of the plane in the package.  For what it's worth, this system seems a bit more flexible than the previous...

Perhaps I should have said textures.  Wink

Many planes have the same ui_types while using the ui_variation tag to differentiate between the different models.

For instance, the Bill Lyons planes shown all only show one texture, until you do this...

ui_variation hasn't been eliminated at all.  It just isn't used PROPERLY most of the time...

ui_variation="Blue and Gold"

ui_variation="Green and Blue"

Use this entry to identify the livery schemes, as it was intended... Wink
