Some may know this, and some may not.
I discovered this when I played the VERY old TS Ultima Mod.

If anyone here has played it, (I know ORCACommander/Bloodreign has) you probably noticed that Banshee, Orca Fighter, and Orca Bomber have different art/images, but same voxel name. So I created an aircraft, and gave it Image=ORCAB. When I turned on TS, I'd build the aircraft. As it rose, I got an IE.

Point is:It was reading the new art, and not Westwood's.
It wasn't the mod, because I took Ultima Mod's orcab.vxl and .hva and put it in my own mix. Still got the IE. But then I tested it on a different aircraft with no new image. (Nighthawk (EMP))

As a sidenote:I discovered this year agos.

The only conclusion I could get from this, is that there was nothing named orcab in the mixes. Wither that or it was spelled wrong.

You can have an entry in rules.ini, and if the name doesn't match with anything it just won't display any art.
When you use the Image= tag, it MUST pull up the art, and if it doesn't find the art then that's when you get IE problems
