I have downloaded the Lyon's TriPacer package several times and continue to have some missing aircraft texture issues.  Originally for 2004, I am trying to use in FSX.  Works well, flying mode, but I can't seem to correct the textures.  I know that they are there as at certain angles the missing pieces will appear.  Attached are several photos of my problems areas.  Love the airplane and hope you can give me a suggestion to correct the problems.
Thanks,

...

Its not always that the textures are not there,, sometimes thats the case, but also sometimes its that the Texture file was saved in the wrong format, meaning, it may be a 256BMP file, or it may be a DXT3 file or DXT5  etc,,, If you really like the Aircraft,,, I suggest you try looking for the Fuselodge file within the Aircraft Texture " Folder", then, go download the program DXT1 file converter,,, Google it,,, use it to 1st find out what file type it is saved in, so you know,, compare the other files that are in the same folder, say maybe the wings, what file type their saved in,,, if their different, that may be the problem. I just ran into this last night myself with an aircraft I was working on', and due to my own fault, well not really, the Paint program I was working with inadvertenly saved the file I was working on in the wrong format,, but I was able to fix it back to Display properly.  see the Screen shot show case photos of - Pacific Pirate at it again, had a few problems with that one, only mine was an interior problem I was working on.  I may go download this see if I can fix it,,, and let you know,, if I do, but it will be later on tonight, as I'm a late night weirdo,,, till the weee hours of the morning painting aircraft and flying around,,,, message me if ya have any questions I'll try to help ya - Jetranger Shocked

7/7/2012 - 2:30 am cst time : Okie Dokie, I just spent bout' 4 hours with these textures in several of my paint programs as well as the abacus re-paint program, and I tried at least 8 different ways of trying to save the File texture ( Fuselodge) texture , so it'd not have all the blanks and Flashing textures, and after that I give up, evidently its the way the file was made when it was saved, in whatever they saved it as and I can't Fix it with any of my Paint programs or the DXT Bitmap program,, I tried with my Paint Shop Pro, and with Adobe photoshop #10 and with the Abacus repaint program as well as with MS Paint and one other program, and still theres Flashing Textures on both sides in the rear right behind the rear cabin and flashing on/off doors.  I'd say its the way the file was made some parts of it work good, like the Wings and front parts, but the rest is watermelons !!!  maybe its on some other site with a redux or something, but the aircraft I pulled from here won't work . looks like it may have been a cool aircraft and maybe it works fine in FS2004,, I Don't have fs2004/fs9,, so I couldn't tell ya,,, tho this Aircraft is made for 2004/FS9,,, it just won't display right properly in FSX , even with DX10 turned OFF !  Ohhh well I tried ,, somethin to do in my Cold A/C on these Warm god awful hott days & nights ! In the meanwhile I'm goin Fly Fishin with one of Shupes Planes ! ...
