Issue with making new fighter icons
I'm maing an icon fighter for FSPort, but the fighter icon itself is not showing up. It has the correct filename, format, everything. Yet somehow it's being overwritten or just not being read by FS2, since I still get the default Perseus icon. This has happened before but I always thought it was something I did wrong. Now I'm certain it's not something I've done wrong, since it's the same method I've used on another icon that works. Got it, nevermind.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Re: Issue with making new fighter icons
Instead of lining all that out you could have:

a.) Deleted it all except the last line.

b.) Explained how you solved it in case in the future someone runs into that same issue...

Knowledge in this community is sometimes like pulling teeth.

(No, not the user named teeth, so no naughty thoughts!) :)

Yeah, I'd like to know what the issue was.

In agreement.

I often find and solve issue's by searching the forum for old threads that contain solutions to certain problems.
