I don't know what the problem is. I too tried different names of textures but it just doesn't take. It take textures only with the name that are there in max.
@mainstay: replace your entry.lua with the one in the mod and extract the following file here
C:\Users\"your name"\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input su-30.rar
Both are correct the never one just has the main model file edited for drag chute.
For proper working please don't copy paste folders directly rather copy individual files in each folder except Su-30 folder in liveries.
Other flights keeps on saying 'engaging bandit' and 'tally bandit' even a minute after all bandits were destroyed (not the wing-man).
Wing-man declares bingo fuel after landing, parking and turning off his engines.
Here is the track. chatter.trk
I have edited the model. You only need to replace the su-30.emd file. Previously only one drag chute was working, now both are working.
Note: Please report if you find any bugs.
