Texture File problem in Real NZ Auckland Airports

An area to discuss scenery addons for virtual NZ

Postby islandtime » Tue Mar 13, 2007 3:35 pm

Hi everyone

I recently installed Real NZ Auckland Airports by Rob Diebold which I downloaded from AVSIM.
It works great and didnt impact the framerates much, but the apron/taxiway textures have a green grassy look, rather than concrete.

Has anyone had this problem? My guess is that I would need replacement textures for the ones used on Aprons/taxiways.
Any ideas or replacement textures would be appreciated
Cheers

Ok, did you manage to fix the problem with the UK2000 scenery?

I've just had a go at troubleshooting, re-downloaded and reinstalled the program and still had the same result with taxi/apron textures being a green colour.

Do you have Nova or Airport Environment textures? I don't and was wondering if this might be a requirement.
I do have GE Pro, VOZ installed.

And after going through the textures I have some .r8 files that show the same green textures that I see on the taxiways/apron area.
How would one post a picture of the problem that I am having?
I'll keep trying to fix it but at the end of the day I am just glad that I have some realistic airports for the Auckland area.
Recently downloaded the NZCH scenery...297Mb....awesome!!

Follow the link below, and scroll down the page to the section called "Other Issues".
Maybe this may be of help to you with NZAA.

Thanks for the suggestions guys
I have managed to solve the problem.
Not sure if what I did was right, but I wasn't happy with the .r8 files in the downloaded Auckland Airport scenery:
GOLF.R8
CONCRETE.R8
ASPHALT.R8

So I did a search and located each one in the original FS9 texture folder and used these to replace the ones in the Auckland Airports scenery package.
Did a quick test of the airports and we are back on asphalt.
Cheers
