@Czech - Im running Jul 2013 update, the latest i believe - I followed the instructions flawlessly, still had the issue. Including the extra step, which didn't resolve anything. You were also right about the Data.ini, however after testing i noticed it still had some texture problems, but Kjakkers files fixed them. 
  
@KJakker Thanks so much for your files, this fixed them all. It would seem some of the files were missing in my install. Like Pilots, TGA files, and decals. I even double check the A&G original zip files, and these files you gave me are not part of it. Maybe it needs an update?  
  
Thanks all for you help. Loving the support.  
  
One last question in case anyone has notice, the EA-6B has some strange flight characteristics like flaps wont deploy unless your almost stalling, and the tall hook seems to be a problem. IE, when you retract your flaps up after take off, the hook automatically appears for no reason, and when you are trying to deploy the hook, it will only work if your in take off flaps, not landing. Do any of you have the same problems?
