Eric,Thanks for the assist!
I checked the canoe folder and all files were in place.
Your comment on the typical pod got me to check the load out .ini. Sure enough, the ALQ-76 is the default for pretty much every mission.
I found my problem was I was using a year setting in the mission builder that was probably driving the unusual pod load out (1968). When I moved it to 1972, the ALQ-76 showed in the default load out.
The missing texture issue might be that this pod was not intended to be used on the EA-6A. Might see if I can find an aircraft that shows it as a default and see how it looks.
Thanks again for helping me work through this one!
Joe
