Nor do I know whether there is scenery for the base or not.

There is a little scenery of Tamin in the "Hard to find sceneries" série, available in the Hangar.

Hello,
Any chance to find your repaints in other place ? The Hangar is not up to date.

You need to look a little closer try 12th Feb

Hi John, was a paintkit ever released publically? I'm currently attempting to add PBR to the RAF jets and having it to be able to make an unmarked texture would be a great help.

I couldn't find the Typhoon paint kit in the Hangar either, but I certainly have one and can get it to you.

Is this for your own use or are you intending to share the results? I only ask because to add PBR textures will require the model to be modified and re-compiled with the PBR settings.

John

That would be great, thanks John.

The conversions would be for my own use only unless A) you would be happy for me to release the end result and B) I actually end up with something of a suitable quality for sharing.

I've PM'd links to the paint kits to you (UK single seat, UK 2 seat and weapons).

I don't really want my models re-engineered and in any case I might at some point want to tackle PBR textures in P3D myself, having gone through the process in MS2020. Please do not share the re-engineered models therefore.

Just in case it helps, some of the PBR graphics packages have a facility to derive the Ambient Occlusion (AO) map ("Materialize" does) from the other maps in the set. I found it better with FS2020 to import the AO layer in the PSD paint kit that was produced from light rays using the model itself in XNormal.

John

Great, thanks John.

Of course-I won't share any of the modified files.

Can someone point me in the right direction for a Typhoon II(AC) Sq. in full markings for John Youngs model.

Thank you.

I get the idea behind why most don't have squadron schemes, but I really do miss them. Something really nice about a flight line of planes in the same unit colours.

Mind you I remember the shenanigans behind the scenes for Operation Corporate. The first thing that the FAA decided to do was repaint all of the aircraft as they showed up to much in the sky.
Surely somebody should have thought of that way before then and saved a lot of running around by a lot of people.

Try this one for size...I like to keep a few of my virtual Typhoons in full squadron colours...

Thank You Very Much

Hi everybody,

I've changed my PC, installed FSX Steam and now I've an issue with the Lossiemouth scenery, with all the buildings in the right place and other black buildings on the taxyways.
I suppose there is somewhere another .bgl file or something like this that causes this problem but I can't find it.

Any help will be appreciated !!!

Greetings lucame

I think a few questions are in order here.
Firstly did you have FSX on your old PC?
If so, did you copy the scenery across?

Without seeing any pics and if the answer to both questions is yes then it sounds like you haven't copied the textures for the libs across or you haven;t installed the Global Scenery Library Objects for FSX.

A pic or two would help narrow the issue down.

HI Firebird,

and thank you for your answer.
To your questions: I had FSX on the old PC but Lossiemouth is a fresh install from the Eurofighter package.
Yesterday I've tried to load some pictures but it didn't work: I'll do again this evening.

As I've said all the buildings look fine and seem to be in the right place (AI is working, too) but near some hangars I've the same scenery object but black and on the taxyway: the new Poseidon parkings are not affected by this issue.

Greetings

OK well I would double check that all of the files were copied over.
Plus can I ask if you have read the manual for the Typhoon pack? The reason I ask is that it states in there that you need to download the MAIW Global Scenery Library Objects and install those.

Have a look and check.

Hi Firebird,

and sorry for the late answer.
MAIW Global scenery library Object is installed at the bottom of the addon sceneries but still no glory.
Here's a picture of the scenery.

Thanks a lot for the help

My first reaction from that pic is that the black objects are from another scenery. They look like duplicates or spurious ones.
It might be worth double checking that you haven't got any other lossie objects in another active folder.

In case I am wrong is there anybody that has the scenery installed confirm whether or not those objects should be there.

Steve is right I think. It looks like those black objects are from another Lossimouth scenery, or from a mis-placed .bgl file. This what the area should look like:



If the duplicate is not immediately obvious (UK2000 scenery?), try turning off all your UK scenery areas, apart from Lossimouth. That should remove the black objects. Then turn back on half the UK areas and check for the black objects. Use a process of divide and conquer until you get to the culprit.

John

Do you have Orbx Scotland installed? Their version of Lossiemouth might be conflicting.
