• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSDS 748 tyres

gear748_T.bmp is the texture file that you should look for. It should be (with a gear748_L) in the texture folder.

Thanks Greg! I've been using the FSDS 748 for a massive AI project covering the late 60's and early 70's. I made a separate copy of the FSDS 748 folder for each airline (why? - see below) but what I DIDN'T do was copy the "texture" folder into each one, only the texture folder for the airline. Hence my white tyres! Which are now fixed.
Most UK airlines for the period I am replicating (Autair, Channel, Dan Air) used the aircraft registration as a callsign rather than the flight number. By replacing the "BRITISHAEROSPACE" with the airline name in "atc_type=" (added to "manufacturers" with EVP) I can have the registration preceded by the airline name, hence the need for a separate FSDS748 folder for each airline. Have also done the same for BEA, so I hear "Bealine + reg" as a callsign rather than, say, "Vickers + reg" for my BEA Viscounts and Vanguards, at least up until 1969 when they switched to flight numbers. Lot of work involved but it does sound more authentic!
