The FS2 repaints do not seem to work in FS4

Verserage · October 11, 2022 at 3:01 AM

I posted this over at org but didn't get any confirmation. Just wondering if I'm screwing up the file structure or they legit don't work right now?

The FS2 repaints are showing up to select in FS4 menu when I install them, but when doing so they do not show up in the sim upon loading. For instance, if I select a repaint for 172 that I installed, the standard paintjob shows up when the sim loads. I'm placing the repaint folders in corresponding aircraft folder. Is that correct?

Does the repaint come with an option.tmc?

Sorry, I do not know. What is that, a file within the repaint folder?

Yes it is a file in the repaint in the folder that you install.

The option.tmc contains this:

Code

<[file][][]
  <[object][][]
    <[string8][Description][repaint_name]>
    <[string8][Type][repaint]>
  >

Thanks guys. I grabbed the option.tmc file from the standard 172 folder and placed it into the folder of the repaint That did the trick!
