Trivial questions - repaint for 738 with winglets

[Rafal Bardel]

Justa silly question regarind the wingtip version for PMDG738 - the package for 738 with wingtips includes only the wingtip bitmaps. I've tried various methods to "install" them, including the regular ACH livery in the FS 738 Wingtip folder + wingtip bitpmas and edidting the acft.cfg file, but all for nothing. Still ca'n get the wingtip version. The solution is probably very close, the problem is I'm looking too far.

Anyone knows?

hey Rafal,

Winglet textures are to be found in (PMDG_Wing_T.bmp & PMDG_WingL_T.bmp). You have to use the winglet model (model.WL, model.WLVC, model.WLVCCAB) of the aircraft to see them correctly.

cheers,

Hi Tobi,

thanks a lot. I've re-edited the cgf file. But you need more changes to make in the ach cfg for 738.Here is the example for vc + cabin +vinglets version.

[fltsim.x]
title=B737-800 Air-Child D-ASHA - Virtual Cockpit/Cabin/winglets
sim=B737-800WL
model=WLVCCAB
panel=VC
sound=
texture=ACH
kb_checklists=PMDG737NG_CHECK
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
atc_id=D-ASHA
atc_airline=Air-Child
atc_flight_number=737
ui_manufacturer=Boeing-PMDG
ui_type=737-800 - Virtual Cockpit & Cabin
ui_variation=Air-Child D-ASHA w/winglets
description=Boeing 737-800 with CFM56-7B26 engines \nPrecision Manuals Development Group\nwww.precisionmanuals.com \nFor use with BOEING 737: The Next Generation by PMDG \nFor Technical Support please visit www.precisionmanuals.com
visual_damage=0
atc_heavy=0
kb_reference=PMDG737NG_REF

Now it works fine for me. Maybe it can be tested, and included in the wingtip texture package. :think:

hello there,

• sim=... -> that's the link to the airfile (slight changes in performance I quess by changing that to the winglet one)
• model=... -> that's the link to the model folder (visual model)

The other stuff is not mandatory...

cheers,
