rockliffe Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hey guys, your genius and advice is needed. For some reason, that I cannot fathom, the lovely grass textures along the side of the airstrip at Walter Sutton's seems to no longer be there! It was showing on the initial install, but after flying for a couple of days I suddenly realised it has vanished. All the 'add-on' boxes are also ticked in the Control panel. Any ideas?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 a screenie of what we are looking at would be handy for us to be able to determine what exactly your "problem" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockliffe Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ahhh, thanks Wolter, I knew there was a secret! Here's the shot that shows things quite clearly, I hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I see the REX grass there as for the "missing grass" did you check wich boxes you have ticked in the WA_79 CP ? Did you install the latest Lib files 101104 ? Did you try and switch back to default fsX and then back to PNW via the FTXCentral CP ? and in case that all mentioned above fails then you can always re-install WA_79 ............ here as to how it looks at my end some minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Thanks Wolter, not sure if I'm dreaming, but I would have bet £1000 that there was tall grass on either side of the landing strip! I will reinstall later... unsure what the latest lib files are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 no need to loose money over it there should be tall grass and flowers along the RWY when they boxes in the CP are ticked accordingly, if the long grass and flowers do not appear then there is something wrong, as for the latest library files maybe care to have a look here => http://fullterrain.com/support.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Thank you Wolter... I'll check it out and reinsatall tomorrow, no sweat.... compared with how many times I've reinstalled FSX over the past four weeks reinstalling Walter's Airtsrip is no sweat at all ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Oooops, am I being really silly?! How do I uninstal Walter's Strip? It doesn't show up in add/remove programs or anywhere in the program section.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 HUH OK, a crash course : go to: ...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\FTX_NA delete => FTX_AA_WA79 go to: ...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\Scripts delete => scenerylib_US_WA79.cfg then rightclick FTXConfigurator.exe in the Scripts folder and "Run as Administrator" ONLY ONCE !!! you wil see nothing as it is a silent application. close the whole thing set FTXCentral to default and re-install WA79 DO NOT forget to install the latest libary files 101104 last !

rockliffe Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Wolter, I must apologise for my ignorance, but I am still learning about FSX. I am no doubt about to ask a very simplw question, but I do not know the answer.... what is the library file you refer, where do I get it and do I just drop it into the relevent folder?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 straightforward and simple answer get it here => http://fullterrain.com/support.html run the installer and it all will arrange itself "automagically" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 nope I'm not a star, but is the issue you where having resolved now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Wolter, sure. I followed your instrauctions and hey presto! I have my lovely meadow grass back along the side of the strip! One more thing though, can you just confirm, one way or the other, that the grass texture is OK in the pic below. It just seems rather odd and patchy and it's across the runnway also...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 ok, could you please take some screenies from the same angle as the ones I took at WA79 so we can compare what we are looking at and also cicle the Shift+Z once more so we also can see the coordinates in the screenies. as for the ground colours select november 20th daytime as time set so we have a common denominator of time and place.

rockliffe Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Wolter, I have the grass back, but as I said, I seem to have this strange blotchy appearance that is also on runways. I can't remember whether it has always been there and if I have just become aware of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well looking at your last screenie and my previous screenie I can't detect much of a diference there, can you ? so to me it looks resolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
