    Call for Chalk's repaints

    As you all know Milton Shupe made a great Mallard but only one Chalk's repaint was included as we all know the airline synonymous with the Mallard was Chalk's

    the one livery Chalk's livery I've been looking for the most is the final livery but the only i can find that was made by wellis doesn't work

    manecas was making some Chalk's liveries but he told me in a PM that he lost them

    I call on someone here who makes repaints to make more's Chalk's liveries including the final livery

    also I'm just wondering how come Grumman made only 59 Mallards if they had made more Chalk's would still be flying today

    There are plenty of repaints for the Mallard in the library. The ones done for FSX might not work as they are in the wrong format (.dds instead of .bmp) and size (2048x2048 instead of 1024x1024).

    Which texture by Wellis were you looking at, I can have a bash at converting it for fs9

    What do you mean, they don't "show up right?"

    If they don't show up at all, your problem might be with your Aircraft.cfg file. To check that, you need to see if something's wrong with the User Interface sections of the cfg file. First, make sure the entry in the texture= line matches the name of the texture folder. If that isn't it, compare the new sections with old ones for paints that do show up. If anything is different besides the title=, texture= and ui_variation= lines (and maybe the atc_whatever lines if present) then there's your problem. Make sure everything's the same except the parts that are unique to that skin.

    If there are no errors in the aircraft.cfg file and the skin still doesn't show up, maybe the skins aren't for the same model. You can verify that (or not) by comparing the files in the new texture folder against one that works. There should be the same number of texture files and they should have the same file names. If they aren't the same, then your new textures are for a different model.

    If they show up, but don't look like they should, it could be that the skins were meant for an earlier or later version of the model, one that uses the same texture files names but has some differences in how the textures are laid out and mapped. That might happen if you have a beta version of the model and the skins are for the final version, or vise versa.

    Another possibility might be that you're trying to use FSX textures in FS9, but I think that would crash the sim when you tried to load the skin.

    If it's something simple, like silver parts looking gray, you may not have reflections enabled.

    That's everything I can think of. Good luck!

    Looks like you grabbed an FSX version of that paint scheme. You are missing the common texture folder textures.

    Here's the FS9 equivalent with all textures, and of the proper size.
