Been adding Patchz Stearman textures - when I reach aircraft selection in FSX, I find two of those 'no picture/big question mark' thumbnails with the correct texture ID. When either is selected, I'm presented with the yellow exclamation and 'failed to startup flight model'. What am I doing wrong?

THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER

Did you verify that the "model=" line in the aircraft.cfg matches for each livery?

Oops. Sorry Dave, I think I forgot something. Try pasting this in the aircraft.cfg.

Used by the USAAF and the USN, as well as by other countries, the Model 75 had a variety of military designations: USAAF PT-13, PT-17, PT-18 and USN N2S-1 to N2S-5. The PT-27 was an enclosed cockpit version used by Canada. All Kaydet versions were similar, differing mainly in the type of engine used.\\This model depicts a U.S. ARMY ModelThis civilian model features comm. radios and GPS.Repaint by L. T. Davis,

Guess I need to update everything and upload them for FSX to avoid causing problems like you are having.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
