Just repaints? Or does this also include the textures that come with the package?

You have the thumbnail, that's why it shows up in the select aircraft screen. Since you have the thumbnail good chance you have the textures. You many not have them named correctly in the config file. Check between v3.12 and v3.14. Texture name and config file have to agree. I seem to remember having this problem at least once.

Make sure the model is the correct model for the repaint used. Check the sim= in the aircraft.cfg [fltsim.x].

[fltsim.0]
title=Douglas C-47 V3
sim=Douglas_DC3_v1.5

Thanks everyone for your help. The problem was the air file title (sim=) as was suggested. This solved a problem I have had for quite some time. Thanks again.

Simviation is dreadfully slow without a paid membership. But the MJ package is available at avsim

Be sure to download the base pack, plus the update which brings it into P3D v4
