What else is needed?

Postby wealthysoup » Fri Aug 11, 2006 3:51 pm

I decided that since we can add fs9 aircraft to the fsx demo why should'nt we try to add scenery, so I got the 79m mesh from simv installed it and found an afcad for an airport from the same area. The airport and the scenery mesh works because you can see the hills in the background. But what else needs added to add textures to the ground???

well at least we know addon mesh and afcads work ok.

edit: how many folders are in your fsx/scenery folder?...i've been adding lots and forget how mnay i started with  :-/
Would I be right if I said 6??? Names:0303, Cities, Global, props, BASE and World

It won't work on the demo, there are only textures for the area of St Maarten at the moment. Wait until the game comes out and then check.

Why would you want to add a 79m mesh to something that can render a 1m mesh?

because its outside the demo area it won't have any mesh

It won't have 1m mesh for the whole world anyway even in the 1st release, the BEST it'll be is 78m for the whole world (game=14gb, 78m world mesh=8gb,means theres approx 6 gb left for everything else.)

p.s. If you know where I can get 1m mesh please point me to it ;)
