Make sure that you are using a model from the expansion pack. These models will require the files: Beaver_ext_2.bmp/Beaver_floats_v2.bmp/Beaver_ext_wing_2.bmp (or at least the first one of these files). Make sure that these files are painted to match the new livery.
The file "Beaver_ext.bmp" is the only file that you should copy from the basic Beaver model, as this file is similar to the ones used by the models from the expansion pack.

I’m envious... you have been blessed with talent AND travel... good for you!

I assume that you want liveries from the first Beaver release to be visible on models from the recent release - the expansion pack? (I may be wrong).
There's a difference between the models from the first release and the models from the second (expansion pack). The models from the expansion pack requires more texture files to show up correct.
If these files (Beaver_ext_2.dds/Beaver_floats_v2.dds/Beaver_ext_wing_2.dds) are not present in the texture folder, you will experience black surfaces as the model do not find these textures.
It is possible to import liveries from the first release to the models of the expansion pack. But if you are not familiar with repainting models, you should leave this task to the author of the livery that you want to import

I read this entire thread and I see it's cooled right off. There's a certain amount confusion here, is there a paintkit available for this plane available anywhere? I know Milviz doesn't have one available and I have no idea where I might find one.

Good luck with the V2 paintkit when you find it....
The paintkit is available on the product page here:

A rodent showdown at Jekyll Island!
DHC-2 Beaver Amphibian by MilViz with a repaint based on my N1621 at flightsim. 09J Jekyll Island, Georgia airport scenery and squirrel, Land’s End SeaPlanes “East Coast Tours & Cargo” Scenery for FSX by Chris “MoCat” Carel.

I saw this post and realised I never updated my beaver paints, but why are the new parts a different color in the sim? Ah, it seems the new textures do not support a shiny alpha...nothing I can do then I fear..

I uploaded them as they are on Ozx, will probably look better than black textures.

I've never received any feedback or seen comments to indicate repaints I've put out there are not displaying correctly with regards to the parts on the'ext_2' file. By adjusting the brightness of 'Beaver_ext_2.dds' by 9% in the case of JZ-PAA, the colours are a closer match.

Scratch that last comment please jankees. I got ALL of your paints to work -and Jeansy's RAAF ones too. I also got Ron's P2-HOR to work with your new files as well!
Thank you very much for coming back and having a crack at these paints again. I am one very happy person and can get back to enjoying this aircraft around OZ and NZ again.
roger, i'll have to look through all my files on my external drives to find the paintkits until then im happy for you to share what you have done
Gunnar-
I tried posting at MilViz w/o response....
With the recent FDE update I reinstalled the Beaver and tried loading this repaint. Back to the black surface issue of prior... I remember fixing it somehow... but for the life of me can't remember how... any pointers are appreciated.
Also the Reg. Plate in the cockpit is wrong...

C-GPHA is a fictional repaint based on the N5CC/LN-NCC paints by Gunnar van der Meeren. Files for all Standard Edition and Spray 'n Play Expansion Pack models are included.
File name is 'Beaver_C-GPHA.zip' at Flightsim
Franz Falckenhaus created this excellent repaint of Carlin Air N471PM for the X-Plane SoulMade Simlations DHC-2 Beaver and he gave me permission to convert it for use on the FSX MilViz DHC-2. At FlightSim, file name: Beaver_N471MP. (Last two letters of the zip file name got changed from PM to MP for some mysterious reason.)
