Damage textures

Should there be damage textures in the plane folders? I have none in my plane folders and am wondering if that's why i get no bullet holes.
 
There are some in aircraft\shared.

Could be cfs3config related, backup your configoverrides.xml do a search in docs and settins\app data
bullethole*
cannon*
wing*
.etc

Then run CFS3config, from workshops, reset to defaults, then setup sliders again and test? Don't tick anything else yet.
 
It worked! thanks, Pol..when i set it at the default it put all sliders at two...I'm amzaed at how good it all looks at that low of a setting. But now it works and I can get all the bulletholes in my planes that I desire!!!

Okay i also get no bullet holes but i´m to dim to understand what i´m supposed to do here?
Could you try again for the halfwits like me?
 
Good middle,
BK please see my steps above and refer to the FAQ near the top how to use CFS3config.

As i said it seems that i am to dim because i have no clue what you writing about.
Which docs folder?
Where should i find settings\app data?
 
BK start at the last line... the first bit was answering a different question from middle

the fix is....


"Then run CFS3config, from workshops, reset to defaults, then setup sliders again and test? Don't tick anything else yet."
 
Yeh, once I did that and saw that all things worked I then went back and ticked the overrides boxes that I need for the game to look right on my machine. The only real difference I notice by setting the sliders to 2 is a little less dept in the terrain graphics...everything looks great, even the planes at 2 look fine.

Okay, thx! Was confused there!

So what are the differences between various slider settings? I had a big hit on my FPS with clouds set to 4, but when I set them to 2 I got lots of FPS back but the clouds didn't look any different to my eye.
 
Middle now it works, just try increasing your sliders 1 notch, maybe put a/c on 5. If that's fine make a note then you can increase others 1 by 1
 
Hmmm, i went to CFS3config, reseted to default and the sliders went back to 2 except for clouds which went to 1, then i started the mission from the mission pool where you are a sitting duck in front of an enemy plane got hit lots of times, plane went to flames but still no damage textures.:help:

Karma,

Do you have high res plane textures checked in workshops? If you do you won't see them. Has to be normal or low. to see the damage textures.

It´s set on "Normal" textures.

Well to be honest they are not really apparent. You need to be fairly close to see them on other planes and they kinda look like smudges on yours. Now if you rip a chunk of wing off that's more readily visible.

Did you "reset to default" first BK?

I made a reset here:

No damage but i got pretty dinged up

Do a default, then File, Exit.
Then go back in and set it to custom and put a/c on 5. Effects 5.
all other sliders 1 try that. (again File, Exit)
