adding plane textures in P3D4

Post by Willie Pete »

I've just tried to add a texture to a plane in P3D4. The system refused my entry into the cfg file, I tried a different plane, and the same thing happened. I'd appreciate guidance on how to do a simple texture-add in P3D4. Thanks!

Have you included the correct .air file in the cfg entry...are the numbers consecutive?? and correct..

I am assuming that the texture is not showing...

If this is under Windows 10, and your P3D is installed in either the C:\Program Files or the C:\Program Files (x86), then it could be UAC that prevents you from doing what you want to do.

Tried disabling the UAC -- no joy. Still get the message that I'm denied entry into the cfg file. Same is true for panel cfg file. ???

Which aircraft?
What is the path to the file?
What is the full (refused) message you get?
