......simply add a new logo on paint scheme aircraft on CP and can see in game after ?
 
I follow this instructions to create my own logo and paint scheme but do not working !!!

Double click the new folder, and it will open.  You will find several folders inside - MODEL, PANEL, SOUND, and TEXTURE.   You will also find a file called the aircraft.cfg file, which contains the identity information of this aircraft.  We need to change this. 

Double click the aircraft.cfg filename, and it will open in Notepad or Wordpad.  The top portion will look something like what is listed below.  Let's change the lines to create our new United DC-6B's identity.  You will change these lines to match your new plane's identity, of course:

[fltsim.0]
title=DC-6B American Airlines 1960  change to title=DC-6B United Air Lines 1958
sim=dc6b
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=DC6B_check
kb_reference=dc6b_ref
atc_id=N90756  change to atc_id=N37566
atc_id_enable=1
ui_manufacturer=Douglas
ui_type=DC-6B
ui_variation=American Airlines 1960  change to ui_variation=United Air Lines 1958
description=The DC-6B was generally considered to possess the best operating economics of any piston airliner built. Passengers also appreciated their smooth, quiet ride. American had 25 DC-6B's, and used them throughout their US system.  change the last sentence to read "United had 43 DC-6B's,..."
atc_airline=American  change to United
atc_flight_number=960  change to 637
atc_heavy=0
visual_damage=1
prop_anim_ratio=0.9

That's it!  Save the file, and then quit the editing program.  From now on we will be using the textures found in our new plane's TEXTURE folder.  If you are using a "paint kit" put those files in that folder as well.

 Any comments ???

Tks !

If you make a change to aircraft.cfg of an aircraft you "own" in CP, it is possible that CP will "lose" the AC.  It will just be gone, as if you never had it.  You don't get to sell it and you don't get to use it.  All you can do is buy it again.
 
It doesn't happen every time, but I've seen this same story before on the old forum.  Unless you have a backup of your Profile folder and can change the aircraft.cfg file back, there's notthing you can do.
 
You probably didn't do anything wrong making the change, it's just that CP doesn't know how to handle an aircraft.cfg file that is different from what it saw the last time it looked at the AC.  If your AC looks and works OK in FS, I'm sure you can buy it again in CP and it will be fine.
 
For everyone else... if you intend to make a change to an AC that you're using in CP, sell it first, make the change and test the AC thoroughly in FS, then buy it back again in CP.  You'll lose money, but not as much as losing the whole AC outright.
