Hi!
you have to add the texture names to your materials.xml located in the  
Flightgear/data folder.
For example
<material>
  <name>Augsburg00.rgb</name>
  <texture>Augsburg00.rgb</texture>
</material>

<material>
  <name>Augsburg01.rgb</name>
  <texture>Augsburg01.rgb</texture>
</material>

Place your textures in Flightgear/data/Textures/.
