I threw some paint on Allen's Birdcage Corsair

Been a while since I have done any painting, so I thought I would give this great model a try. Right now I am trying to figure out why I don't have textures on my pilot.

Excellent looking paint job, Brian. Its been a long time since I've seen your work. The last time I had that problem was when I painted up all those F-80's. The texture bmp had to be renamed. Don't know if this is it, just taking a shot. Or, the pilot textures have been alpha'd out.
Good to know you're still hanging around.

The model use the stock pilot textures. It should load the us_pilot_1.bmp and us_pilot_2.bmp from the CFS2 main texture folder (Combat Flight Simulator 2\TEXTURE).

Thanks guys! I had to rename the pilot textures from us_pilot_1.bmp to us_pil~1.bmp and us_pilot_2.bmp to us_pil~2.bmp. all is well now!

[Allen]

That means I did something wrong with the model. us_pil~1.bmp and us_pil~2.bmp are the 8.3 filename that are made when I converted the stock F4U into a .3ds for import into CFS2.

Once I gMax I should have renamed us_pil~1.bmp and us_pil~2.bmp to us_pilot_1.bmp and us_pilot_2.bmp. Sorry about this. No idea why my CFS2 is loading the pilot texture right. Attaching a model that will use the us_pilot_1.bmp and us_pilot_2.bmp like it should have.

Will update the main download next than update the Birt Mk.II clip wing Corsair as it has the same prob!
