im looking for some textures for fsx that will make the ground textures sharper, and add more realistic coulor to the sky and clouds.

there is a package that ive tried downloading, but it makes the game have a critical error during startup.. i think that was a HD cloud package. (I forgot what its called)

Are you using FSX or FS2004?
Is this the add on you're asking about? http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1 ... &x=28&y=14

yes I think the one I tried is: HDE v2, Photo Realistic Texture Pack

and when i installed it and try to run fsx it doesnt even get to the main screen it crashes and asks if I want to send an error report

im going to try: HDEv2 Sky Colors Converted for FSX but then that doesn't have new cloud textures or ground textures

the ground texture I made for fs9 was called texture1.bmp I think. and I cant find that file in fsx texture folder..


I think you may be referring to 'detail1.bmp', found in ...\Scenery\World\texture\. It exists in FSX also. It's the 'bump map' that controls the 'grain' detail of grass and other terrain textures.

If that's what you're looking for then the REX site has a free download of their 'Enhanced Grass Texture' (a replacement detail1.bmp) here-http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/downloads.html

Yes, it's in Scenery\World\texture in FS9 and FSX.

The REX 'Enhanced Grass Texture' is for FSX.

ok cool I think i got it mostly sorted out now I think I was putting the stuff in the wrong folder or somthing. but it all works now! thank you very much for the tips.

now i just need to find some realistic enviroment files, because sunsets still seem very unrealistic even with some of the files ive tried off this site.

Sorry, but the ones I'm making seem to be turning out worse than they were to begin with, and also my FSX is failing out.  Sorry. :'(
