Problem with Devrim's English Cockpit Mod

[kaglecom]

I have tried to install the English Cockpit mod a couple of times, each time re-downloading the files.

 

I drag the 17 files of the mod into the MI8MTV-STND-TEXTURES.zip files, as per the readme file. For each file, I get a Copy and Replace warning to which I answer yes.

 

When I go into the game, the cockpit labels now read in English. This is good. But the toggles and switches are missing - in other words, there are just black spaces instead of silver toggles with highlights. Also, most of the background of the panels above the windshield are now matt black, not the light blue of the regular panels.

 

Does anyone have any idea why I am losing these textures when I download the mod? I have done this twice, with new downloads, with the same result.

 

Thanks for any help.

Are the textures working before you install the mod?

I had a similar problem. The solution I found was to unzip both the original MI8MTV-STND-TEXTURES.zip folder and the cockpit mod zip folder, add the unzipped mod files to the unzipped original folder (replacing the old files where appropriate) and then create a new MI8MTV-STND-TEXTURES.zip file from that. (Don't forget to save a copy of the original first.)

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Yes, that worked ... thanks a million. I did not know that I had to extract the files from the zip files.
