Tassie Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just added Gold to my sim, fantastic program. One small problem, I installed it into FSX and all looked fantastic but when I restarted it to show my wife ( we recently did an actual chopper flight from the marina ) a lot of the ground textures are no longer green but brown. I have checked the settings as per install instructions but it is still the same. What have I done wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The AU GOLD region does not extend to Cairns, only as far north as Gladstone. You'll need to purchase and install AU GREEN to see Cairns look like these shots: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=5634.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 You need to set season to Summer to see all the green textures in Cairns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 John, I tried changing the season settings but it made no difference, winter, summer or spring. When you take off from Cairns and turn right large sections of the ground look like sand. Fly to the Marina and the same thing there, particularly on the opposite side of the bay. It was not like this when I first installed it, and is not like this in real life. All I did was close FSX down then restart it about 20 minutes later. Any other suggestions?

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 a screenshot would be most helpfull for us Tassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yep a screenie helps, but also can you give us a screenshot of what your Scenery Library screen looks like in FSX? It seems like you have a few folders unactive from the sounds of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tassie, does it look like this? I am seeing this now too on my PC, so something's gone amiss ... perhaps in the GREEN hotfix. Not sure. We're onto it now. Anyone else see this in Cairns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaje Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 No John -my Cairns is fine after loading the hotfix. However, and forgive me if this has been reported elsewhere, I'm now seeing traffic supposedly running along the Highway to the East of the airport ploughing through the countryside and crossing the river to the east of the road jaje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yes, that's the problem. I have checked the Scenery Library and all boxes are ticked. I have tried to insert a screenshot but as I am new to this it did not come out. The sat photo is what I see when flying around Cairns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My Cairns looks fine, not like that. All hotfixes installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hey, I have installed the hotfix and sand has gone! All is well except now my vehicles are running along the ground not the roads also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yes, I reinstalled GREEN and the hotfix and all is well. Good to see it's resolved for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mason Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Dont know if anyone else will come across this, but same thing happened to me as the first post, came up fine first time then second time looked like the screenie, all I had to do to fix it was turn ftx off and on again with the switcher and it fixed it for me, not sure if this will work for everyone but it fixed my issue.
