solved External Tank Textures

[MVS-Viper]

Anyone know what is going on here, and how to fix it.  I've tried DCS repair to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

If a DCS repair did not fix it, this is probably an issue caused by personal files in your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder. If you want to make sure, simply rename your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder to "DCS_backup", then launch DCS.

Once you have checked ingame, simply delete the new "Saved Games/DCS..." folder then rename your previous "DCS_backup" to its original filename.

Thanks for the help Flappie. 

I tried your suggestion, but it did not work.  What is weird is the the textures of the external tanks on my jet are o.k.

Please reproduce the issue then attach your dcs.log file (from "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs").

This should teach us which texture is causing the issue.

Thanks.  The log file is attached.

Here's the error:

I see your game has a lot of mods (F-22, DiCE, Massun92-Asset Pack, NavyEquipment, VPC_RAF, Civil Vehicles, GrinnelliDesigns Air Show Assets, HH-60...). Disable them and see if your issue disappears.

Another thing to try:

1. Go to "F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\F-16C\Liveries".
2. Delete the whole "F-16C_50" folder.
3. Run a DCS repair.

Thanks so much for your time Flappie . 

I tried deleting the folder and running the DCS repair.  That did not work, so it must be one of the mods - all of which I installed manually .

I had the same problem, it was a skin that replaced the default F-16 skin in the saved games folder, you can delete it or edit the description file and delete the fuel tanks lines, that was my solution.

Thanks Cuervo. I’ll give it a try and see if that works.

Cuervo thanks so much . 

I went into the description lua file and deleted the fuel tank lines.  It works perfectly now. Thank you!
