grass textures

Postby JakesF14 » Wed Sep 02, 2009 3:29 am

anyone can help me perhaps? I've installed some freeware grass and ground textures , but they look awfull. not even near standard. even the defaults look better. Does someone knows about any freeware airport / grass / tarmac textures that is worth trying? otherwise i have to reinstall the defaults. and if I need to reinstall the defaults, how do i do that?   :-/    :-/   :'(

I remember when requests were coming in for the "new features" before the FSX release, I suggested "Real Grass"...with blades of grass waving in the wind!... ::)...

...silly me!... :'(..!

...but having seen all the various "Frame Rate" problems with the finished product ever since, its just as well it wasn't implemented!... :o...!

... ;D...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...(and FSX)... ;)...!

The REX freeware Grass works in FS9. ;)

NOTE: This texture is NOT a part of Real Environment Pro, the grass is a separate download.

I just emailed you Shane. Which one did you get---Grass or Grass II?

Can you walk through the installation steps for FS9?

I used Grass I,

Go to your: FS9/Scenery/World/Texture folder,

back up the texture file-detail1.bmp, and then drop the one you downloaded in and overwrite.

also a thing to watch out when installing these is to make sure that you put the 1024x1024 texture in the folder and not the 4096x4096 one as FS9 will not work with that one ;)
