Sometimes, it's the little things. Double check your aircraft.cfg. I've lost count of how many times I've added a texture, then fired up the sim, and didn't see it, only to smack myself in the forhead because I forgot to change the [fltsim.XX] entry. I DLed the texture and the aircraft, and edited the .cfg, and all was good. Here's my .cfg...

Change the "2" to the appropriate number, if you have more textures than the original DL package.
Hope that helps!
