My Lebanese paint for Manuele Villa's SM.79 was fine, but it was totally off in the fact that it was a bomber, not a transport.
Converting it was easy and I added the black wing leading edges. However, by converting it to a bomber, it has spinners in lieu of a plain prop. The good news is, I could paint the spinners red, which I did.
The new textures will have the repainted edges and red spinners.
But I also had the cfg information totally incorrect, so please do the following when installing the new textures.
In FS9, go to the Savoia Marchetti SM-79 MVG folder and copy the texture.205 folder. Paste it back and rename it texture.lebanon. Extract the new paint texture into that and overwrite. Do not forget to copy and paste all of the base textures from the texture folder over too.
In FSX, go to the Savoia Marchetti SM-79 MVG folder, not the "Bis" folder. Again copy texture.205 and paste it back, then rename it texture.lebanon.
In both the FS9 and FSX aircraft.cfg, copy and paste the below information below the last entry and enter the next number in place of the *.
