I downloaded and installed two JYAI C-103's from Sri Lanka. I saw them in the sim and they were both solid black. I don't know why the textures are showing as black. To me everything looks correct. Can someone help me out? I can't figure out why the textures are showing black in the sim (P3D v5.4).

The textures came from this package.

The author says to use the CC-130H73 model for the textures.

Here is the 2 cfg entries I have for the textures.

The textures are working. On my system AI textures sometimes take like a second or two before they show, well those two C-130's stayed black for 3-5 minutes before the textures finally showed. Not sure why it takes that long for the textures to show.

I've just looked at the re-paints and they are in 2048 x 2048 pixel format, not the 1024 x 1024 I normally use. That might account for the long load times.

Thanks, I will make the textures 1024 x 1024.

Just out of interest, could you post whether, having done that, you see a difference in the load times please?
