Okay,
I have tried everything I know to do and cannot get Finschhafen PNG right.
I either have no land where the airbase is, or I have green squares where I should have beaches.

I have turned on and off my LOD7 - DEM8.
I have reloaded MaskRider's PNG scenery.
I have reloaded the GSLs.

I even have ships in the grass.

Here is what I have now:

Devildog,

Did you try using the stock pacific coastlines? I could not use Rhumaflappy's new coastlines in the Pacific, because if I did, 95% of the airbases would have to be re-done.
 
Might be a higherarchy issue. Try moving your scenery and landclass files up or down in the Scenery Library. Generally, in the higherarchy window, put your mesh down at the bottom, your land class above that and your actual airfields above all of that.
 
Rami, yes, I turned it on and off. No effect on this.
I have been using stock without Rhumba's mesh.

Jagd, yes, I have been playing with the heirarchy a bit. Had the Finschhafen at the VERY bottom (as you know top) then moved it down to just above DEM8.

Since it is a MaskRider field, I will check for mesh and see if he has mesh that underpins the field scenery.

Generally it's the result of a missed texture bmp somewhere in a scenery texture folder ,check your lines bmps (bank,shore, road and river bmps) or any added texture.bmp in the scenery addons installed that have to work on this area .

It's also worth checking you have the same bmps in your TEXTURE & SCENDB/WORLD/TEXTURE folders, including your coastline bmps. If they don't match, you can get the blue square/ green square problem showing up ...

Thanks Uncle to remember for us the first law about the sceneries built with the g2k tool ,I've forgotten it :bump:

Yep, its a hiearchy problem:

Are thse the install instructions that were in the scenery pack?

NOTE: There is some LWM type scenery in this pack so it is imperative that you
copy all of the files in your scenedb/world/texture folder into your main CFS2
texture folder. Its a one time deal- it won't hurt a thing.

INSTALLATION:
When unzipped the following 4 folders and files will appear:
MR Papua New Guinea (folder)
Place CONTENTS in Main CFS2 SCENERY Folder (folder)
MR Papua New Guinea GSLs (folder)
mr_papua_new_guinea_080512_README.pdf (this file)
1. Drop the entire MR Papua New Guinea folder into your main CFS2 folder- if
asked to over-write, say yes.- and then activate it. If you have an existing MR
Papua New Guinea folder, delete it or deactivate it.
2. THEN MOVE IT TO OR NEAR THE TOP OF YOUR SCENERY LIBRARY LIST!
3. Next, do what the name of the "Place CONTENTS in Main CFS2 SCENERY
Folder" folder says to do- if asked to over-write, say yes.
4. Go to your CFS2/GSL folder.
5. Make a back-up copy of your current cfs2.gsl file. Its OK to leave it in the GSL
folder- but be sure to RENAME IT
6. Inside the " MR Papua New Guinea GSLs " folder you will find 2 files. Place them
both in your CFS2/GSL folder- if asked to over-write, say yes.
7. Open GSLMan.exe from inside your CFS2/GSL folder.
8. From the "Available Custom Gobs" list hi-lite mr_png.gsl
9. Click the "ADD" button.
10.Wait until GSLMan.exe says it’s thru then…
11.Close GSLMan.
12.Thats it. The scenery is installed.

Make sure you have followed these steps. Sorry for the glitch.
 
Okay,
I like things simple. So, deleted all of my installed scenery and started over. I followed MaskRider's instructions. Then I combined all of the airfields into one folder. I put the original scenery.cfg from pristine CFS2 install in my PTO install.

This is my scenery.cfg now:

Having trouble uploading the image, but it looks exactly like it should, just like MaskRider's photo in the package! Whoo Hoo!
