TAR 2.51 walk-through

4/7


If you are installing a camo, TAR will ask you at which slot you wish it to be copied to. Several aircrafts in Flanker 2.51 have more than one possible paint scheme, which you choose at Flanker's Mission Editor. TAR will present you with every possible paint scheme position for every aircraft available in the sim.

Tip: Once again, pay close attention to any directions given by the camo artist in the text file since for a camo to work perfectly it may be necessary to be installed on a specif slot. This happens because Flanker interprets the .BMP and .TGA files related to aircraft camos in different ways. For instance, the "Unpainted" and "Test Pilots Team" have their own little intricacies.

This time around we will choose the "Unpainted" option to install the "Brazilian Smoke Squadron" camo and click "Ok".

If you chose the safe side while configuring TAR and decided for the "Ask before unzipping" option, you will now be asked to confirm the operation. Click "Ok" to continue.
After the copying is done, you are brought back to the main screen. Now you can see a blue strip over the top part of the thumbnail which represents the texture you have just installed. This blue strip means this is the current texture installed on Flanker and it shows the slot name when applicable.

If you want to check if the backup was properly done, click the "Original" button on the left menu (assuming you chose "Store in the folder _ORIGINAL" previously). The main screen will show the safe copy with the name you picked and the "Alas Rojas" logo
