I thought this was mentioned somewhere else in the forum but I can't find it. Does anyone know what causes the prop on the "new" P51D to be Red? Can it be fixed?
Thanks, G-man

G-man, it sounds like the prop.tif is not being seen in your par file for some reason???

I just sent you an email with the prop.tif and propslow.tif just copy then into the following directory.

FIGHTER SQUADRON\Media\P51d\textures

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Thanks for the files, Raider. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. It appears that the prop color is coming from the .tif file that contains my user created skins for the Mustang (p51d.tif). What's weird is that I've used these skins for the last year without any problem. I should mention that the prop is the wrong color only when the engine is stopped. Once it starts running, the prop turns to black. I'm going to modify the colors within the p51d.tif file and see what that does. I'll let you know what happens.

The texture for the prop when it is not moving is in the P51D.tif on the bottom right hand corner.

The prop was not retextured, so it should not have changed, can you send me the skin you are using and I will take a look at it.

Only other things I can think of would be something with the texture cache.

Is the prop red with different P51d.tif's or if you delete the P51d.tif?

Raider, it turns out that the "problem" was in the p51d.tif files for the skins I am using. I was able to add the prop, spinner and prop tip colors using PaintShop Pro. What's weird is that these things were never in the .tif file before but the Mustang looked okay anyway. I can only guess that the prop coloring was taken care of in the .par file but isn't now.
Thanks for the help. G-man
