Problem XR5 Texture Problems

[Royalkin]

Greetings,

I've recently downloaded Pennyblack's repaint kit for the XR5, and I've completed what I think is a cool skin. However, when I try and replace the file in the /textures/XR5Vanguard folder, and later load Orbiter, the texture isn't visible. It still has the original texture. I thought I needed to replace XR5T.dds, is this not correct? If not, please direct to what file I need to replace or whatever other things I might need to do.

Also, when saving the texture in DDS format, are there any special requirements these files need, such as Alphas, and etc.? I'm using NVidia's DDS plugin for Photoshop.

Thanks in advance.

Afaik you have to enable custom skin in scenario file. Look into XR5 Manual
