Post by **tango234** » 31 Aug 2009, 21:06

Haven't uploaded anything for a while, so I'll put these up
Flew to SA recently, here's the result

A special scheme

For those of you with good eyesight what is the plane to the right of the runway?

Hope you enjoyed looking at these, more of my pics will be uploaded shortly

That's a Comet! or is it some sort of SAAF Nimrod?

Thank you for posting these. I contributed a little to that package (Wrote Gripen FPs and added a few more legs for the Hawks IIRC) so it's great to see it again.

Thank you very much!!

jaguar1 you are correct, it's a comet, here's a close up

BTW it's not ai-I parked it there to keep it out of the way while I took the screenies.

Seems you are missing the weapons texture for the Gripens and Hawks.

Yes I am, though I'm not entirely how to get them-anyone know how?

Sorry Tango I can't help you there but I remember seeing "Canopus" when I was first posted to Boscombe-Down in 97. She sat on a HAS apron close to the main ramp looking rather sorry for herself. At that time XV208 the C130 W2 better know as Snoopy was also there and still flying with the Meteorological Research Flight. Both gone now but Snoopy has a new role as A400M Testbed at Marshall of Cambridge.

If you look at the original extracted package.
They should be in the main MSFS texture folder.

Place them in the same one for FS2004 or FSX.
I.e. not in the aircraft texture folder, but the games main texture folder.

If that fails they can be placed in each aircrafts texture folder.

For FSX, you need to put the weapons texture in each "aircraft texture" folder.

Ah that would be why it wasn't working, problem sorted
btw does that go for all of the MAIW textures in the texture folders or just the SAAF one?

Post by **Firebird** » 15 Sep 2009, 23:38

All aircraft related ones, I believe is what he is saying.

Post by **tango234** » 16 Sep 2009, 07:30

Rightio then

Post by **Weescotty** » 16 Sep 2009, 16:02

That would include the canopy textures then also.

Post by **tango234** » 16 Sep 2009, 16:33

Are the canopy files
MAIW_canopy_clear
and
MAIW_canopy_smoked?
and if so, are there any others and which aircraft files do these need to go into? Sorry for writing like a numbskull but I'm far from 100% sure what I'm doing.

I beg to differ. None of my weapons textures are in the aircraft texture folders, they're in the 'root' texture folder and show up perfectly well.

Why does my system always work differently from others-it's only a clean FSX install. Grrrrrrrr This is annoying.

Pardon my outburst. I'll just find the SAAF texture and do that at least.
