textures missing at lechfeld

Post by e.daalder »

Hi Guys,

I want to add some german tornado ai at some german bases but i found a problem at the lechfeld scenery that i can't figure out. After installation all the shelter remain white, no textures applied. When i open the texture folder of the scenery i see 2 files called shelter. Is there a way to apply the texture myself? I've included a screenshot so you can see what i mean.
Hope some one can help me.
Thanks,

Edwin

Some older scenery used to get compiled expecting the textures in the main FS9/Texture folder. Try copying the textures there to see if it helps.

thanks Steve, for your reply. I've tried copying the files to the main texture folder but no luck. Shelters still remain white. Is it possible to extract the shelters from the scenery? What i mean is, is it possible to make a mdl of it so i can apply a texture myself?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Edwin,
I don't think so but hopefully somebody that does create and/or manipulate scenery will read this and can advise you on what you can/can't do.

Hi Edwin, even if you could get the individual mdl file that would not allow you to retexture the shelter. In FSDS, the only way to apply a texture is to have the fsc file. Someone may prove me wrong.

Ah, that's to bad. The only solution then is to start designing myself :D.
Thanks again guys for your quick replies.

I thought we had shelters like that in one of our scenery bgls.

Is it possible to replace the shelters with the shelters you use in the maiw scenerys? I'm not really into the design stuff. I started this week to collect some info on how to design my own scenery, installed gmax and have started with an afcad of wittmund ab, germany. So i can use every tip or hint :D .

thanks in advance,

Edwin

It is but normally that's something that you would only do on your own system to personalize it to your liking. It's a bit of a process, rather easy if you are familiar with it, but one that takes some explaining if you are not.

hi Mike,

if i do something like that, it is for personal use only. I will not distrubute anything. Is there some kind of manual/document available that explains how to do that. If no, is it possible you could pm me the procedure? I would be very thankfull. :D

best regards, Edwin
