Hawg57 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Is there a way to fix the textures in 2.5.4 beta? The pilot helmet in some of the additional skin addons has changed from the standard pilot grey helmet to either a purple helmet, mask and visor or the digital green helmet mask and visor. Also, the same is occurring with all thee land gear struts. Same color changes as the helmet. Any recommendations would be appreciated..Thank you in advance.

Hawg57 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Texture is missing. I wonder why... I have not removed or deleted anything from the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I noticed same thing as well with some user paints. The pilot helmet was named incorrectly. *.bmp.dds I removed the superfluous ".bmp" in the file name. Had to do.this for everyone that was incorrect. Real pain.

Nealius Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Same issue with the Huey. They messed with the texture file names and didn't tell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real pain.[/quote So you removed the extra texture file within the affected skins? For example I have one file that is painted correctly and the other looks to be purple and green. I should remove the purple and green file correct? The correct file is called f-5e3_rude. The incorrect file is called f-5e3_rude_spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Spec file gives the texture the final "look" whether it's paint or metal or plastic etc. I'm saying that in my case, the Pilot Helmet was purple because the file extension was incorrect. The incorrect name was>> pilot_f-5e3_helmet.bmp.dds I corrected the filename by simply renaming it to >> pilot_f-5e3_helmet.dds This corrected all the digital camo and purple missing textures I had with the pilot helmet. I had to do this in EVERY texture folder where the .lua file called out a discrete pilot helmet texture if that filename was listed as incorrect.

==Wiggy== Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I have the same paint installed. The way I fixed the helmet was by renaming the file. Remove the "bmp" from the end extension and replace it with "dds". The file should already be saved as a .dds format. You might need to open the .lua file, and see if the line of code with the helmet filename is also spelled correctly. In fact I'd check this first to make sure that it's not actually written as something else. You can always just change the name in the list to match what you have for your helmet name. make sure it looks like this: {"pilot_F5E3_helmet", 0, "pilot_f-5e3_helmet", false}; Edited January 27, 2019 by 000rick000 Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it reads ...........pilot_f-5e3_helmet............
