Bora check for these things as well.

1) Make sure that the MAIW Scenery Library Objects folder is as far down your addon scenery list as possible. Ideally it should be the lowest of any of your addon scenery files.

2) Check for any afcad files for Colmar. This package uses AFX to build afcad files for the bases and those files are contained within the MAIW French Airbase scenery folder. If you have any scenery for Colmar, for example an afcad file in your addon scenery/scenery folder, located in a higher priority than the MAIW French Airbase scenery folder, the objects at Colmar may not show.

And, as we found out in Beta testing, AF2 AFCADs cancel out AFX AFCADs so please remove any AF2 AFCADs for this base you may have installed.

I do remember from the early days of bets testing that there was, or planned to have ,but I will have to admit that I can't remember anything further than that.
I shall have to let Nick supply the definitive answer.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The specific texture that I was referring to is named NBAI_Brake_Chute.bmp and it gets added to the main texture folder.

That is what prompted my question.

I shall look forward to Nick's answer.

Dave,

There is indeed a Chuted model in there, in fact there are 2, but they wont be seen very often, you'll have to look for them. I can tell you there is a group of aircraft that leave Reims for RAF Leeming, and they all have brake chutes.

@ John & Steve:
Have installed all previous released packages. Both “MAIW French AB Scenery” and “MAIW Scenery Library Objects” have been installed and have been activated !

@ Mike:
1) “MAIW Scenery Library Objects” is where it should be, have no problems with previous released scenery... Hangars at Colmar are showing alright (should there be hardened shelters at Colmar as well ?). It's Reims that doesn't show the hangars and hardened shelters.

2) Before installing I deleted my own Reims Afcad...

Cannot check anything right now since I am not at home... Will check tomorrow evening if there are more Reims Afcad files that I did not delete and report back !

Maybe run an afcad file scanner and see if there's one still hidden in there. Since you are missing scenery at only one base, I would bet that's the problem.

Bora,
The only other thing that I can think of at the moment is that there is some FS2002 scenery for LFSR, which I had installed. My guess is that you have already checked for this but I think its worth me mentioning it anyway.

Thanks Nick - Guess I have just been watching for it in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Back to "bird watching".

Hello! First of all thanks for an awesome package and a superb new model. I am very fond of the Mirage f1 and now it is available as AI also.
I do have a small problem though. My landclass for LFSR looks a bit strange:

It looks like an industrial landclass? I have UT terrain europe installed, have checked for multiple Afcads and all folders installed. Any clues to what causes this?

Thanks again for another great job.

Same problem with UT.....

We can probably make a background Poly to correct this can't we Mike?

Nick

Yes but this is one of those things where if I don't have UT Europe, which I don't, there's no way to know what the background poly texture will look like. So it will be trial and error.

Let me do some research and see which set of texture files that background poly is using. Then I can have users of UT Europe find those files and maybe we can find a more appropriate one for them to use.

Hi!

Thanks for your support on this matter. I am happy to provide you with any help needed for this fix. At least within my limited knowledge of how things like this works.

Hmmm, very strange. I do have UT Europe and there is no industrial background for me. Maybe this is a layering issue.

Ok. I have my UT addons very low. And the MAIW addons above them. Usually that works. FIrebird: Do you have the feature for adding industrial landclass activated in UT?

It's the same for me.UT at the lowest level, just above the default sceneries, and Industrial landcless activated.
On my laptop, I don't have UT and all it's fine.

Cheers

Guys, I do have Industrial landclass activated but I have my UT scenery high up my list, above my MAIW stuff.

interesting. i will try and move the maiw addon below UT then.

EDIT: Ok. tried doing that but it did not make any difference in my setup.

Problem with missing hangars and hardened shelters at Reims is solved ! Also Colmar is showing the hardened shelters now...

The entry for "MAIW Scenery Library Objects" in the scenery.cfg had disappeared...

Thanks for the suggestions and for this great package !

Thats good news, Bora. Just Phantom54 to confirm that his problem is sorted or not now.

The shelters are showing now but I think I'm still missing some of the textures:
