Carrier textures

Postby expat » Wed Feb 22, 2006 4:58 pm

I have tried to install several carrier packages into FS that are from SimV download area. Each time I get the same result. The carriers are where they are meant to be, but always without textures. I have checked the addon scenary folders, the textures are present, but they are not appearing, just the grey forms. All the animation functions, I am able to take off, land etc. I know warships are meant to be grey, but this is taking a little far. Any ideas??

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

You'll need to describe your folder structure in more detail in
order for anyone to try to isolate your problem.

I have several carriers installed on my system and each has
a similar folder structure.

here are a couple of examples:

Addon Scenery
   |
    ----- Carriers 2006
   |               |
   |                ----- scenery
   |               |
   |                ----- texture
   |
    ------ USS Stennis
   |               |
   |                ----- scenery
   |               |
   |                ----- texture
           
The "Carriers 2006" is the updated version of the "Carriers 2004"
package. The "USS Stennis" is the relocatable Stennis package,
CVN-74.

Some install notes may direct you to place textures in the
main Addon Scenery\textures folder but I generally ignore
this and use the folder structure indicated above. Since I have
four FS9 installations on my machine that all share a common
Addon Scenery folder, this makes it much easier to have only
the desired scenery addons enabled and loaded for the particular
version I am running at the time.
