I would rather appear a dick at home than on their forum .... when i got the 73's i also downloaded all the paints they had.
Question .... the repaint folders are there (texture), but i cant find the stuff to add to the a/c config file , and i cant find a "how to" in any of the docs , so i have lots of beautiful NG 73's ...but their all orange sad.gif .... what do i do ?

SP use the config manager to install the planes to your hanger. Drop in the repaint folder to the correct plane, and use the config manager to add the repaint, and all the features you want, like winglets and panel features. I have never had no wheels. Make sure you load a default cessna before loading the ifly.



Or a video installing a Colin Lowe repaint, you'll have a few of his and he only installs them this way

Take time with the install Marty and read everything on the forum about it...especially running in administration mode. Did you use the F1 download tool? This ensures a complete download. These are very sophisticated add ons that depend on a good install.
90 % of the problems can be traced to a bad install. If you have problems, like no wheels, uninstall and do it again step by step.
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!
