Allison Ranch Airstrip Scenery

Good scenery, thank you. Anyone know if there is anymore work done for this area, it's a great place to fly! :jump:

LouP :applause:
 
Let's just say I was determined :).

Also seems that I have a common problem where my textures are missing on the house next door, anyone have any ideas how to fix this. I know that duplicate textures can cause this but I have not had any luck with these issues in tha past and would like to fix this one.

So far this has proved too difficult for my modest piloting skills. Looks to me like you have to start your turn onto final before even having the strip in site, otherwise it's too late. You also have to be only slightly above the strip altitude because you only have a couple of seconds to get the wheels on the ground. Obviously not for the pilot who is not extremely familiar with the approach. If I hadn't seen the video with the Kodiak, I woudn't have believed it was possible. It's cool, though, how much the approach view in FS9 looks like the video.

For those who like flying in Idaho, I've enhanced about 8 airports there, and McCall (where the flight to Allison Ranch departs from) is in Pete & Sid's volume 3. :wavey:

I have downloaded all of the airports you have done and am searching around for the object libraries I need to make the scenery work. It is slow going as the links in the readme won't work because the files have not been restored in the AVSIM library (I have been using Flightsim.com). Looks like you have some pretty nice scenery there and I look forward to making a short hoplist in and around Idaho.

Thanks Sidney,

Next time I'll read more carefully. I installed the sceneries and will check them out tomorrow, need to get some sleep. Also, Is there any way to know what bgl and texture files are associated with the building to the right in my pitcure? I have had these issues before and tried in vain to hunt down duplicate files to no avail. Maybe if I knew what to look for, it would help.

Thanks,
LouP

Instead of searching for each individual library on Flightsim.com, try doing a search on my name, Sidney Schwartz. That will give you a list of everything I have on that site. Even though the file names are different there it should be pretty easy for you to figure out which ones are which.

I hope you enjoy the sceneries. Idaho has tons of great places to fly and has been largely ignored by scenery designers. Jon Loney's done a nice version of Twin Falls...the file number is ktwf_v1.zip. I'm pretty sure there's a version of Pocatello out there too. :wavey:

I didn't see a pic attached to that post, Lou. Could you uploading it again please? Or just email it to me at sidney.schwartz [at] comcast.net :wavey:
 
Hi Sidney,

I'm still at work right now but the pitcure is on the fourth post from the top of this page. You can see the textureless building on the right hand side of the pitcure.

Thanks again for the sceneries. Seems like WA had gotten all the early attention and ID was overlooked somehow. Too bad because this place has a ton of potential for some interesting flying.

Ha ha! Sorry, thought that was your signature. My stoopid. :isadizzy:

I'll have a look at it and hopefully let you know later tonight what the texture files are for that building.
 
Very nice scenery, I love challenges. I made it in and out with a Gipland Airvan so I tried a Caribou. I just made it but we're also having venison for dinner.:icon_lol:
 
Lou, the building in question is hanger_old_02 from library ez-vintage hangers.bgl. The associated textures are:

hanger old 2 a.bmp
hanger old 2 a_LM.bmp
hanger old 2 b.bmp
hanger old 2 b_LM.bmp
hanger old 2 c.bmp
hanger old 2 door.bmp
hanger old 2 roof.bmp
hanger old 2 siding.bmp

The problem is almost certainly a duplicate of the object or of the entire library. Hope this helps you track it down. :ernae:

Thanks, and I will look into Twin Falls as well.

No luck with the textures. Can not find any dup texture files. Matter of fact, I needed to add some as I must of lost some in my attempt to correct this before, but still no dice. Any other ideas? I love to solve this. :running:

Thanks,
LouP
 
Lou, I can't claim to be a technical expert in any of this stuff, but I'm pretty certain that this problem is not caused by duplicate textures, but by duplicate library bgls. More specifically, by library objects with duplicate guid numbers. Each object is assigned a randomly generated guid number, and each objects' guid should be unique. FS9 identifies scenery objects soley by their guid...it doesn't care about the name of the objects or the name of the library that it's in. If it finds two or more objects with the same guid, confusion results and that object is either not displayed or is displayed without textures.

Did you try searching for duplicate copies of ez-vintage hangers.bgl?
 
Montana? Heck yeah. Lauren Robison's two volumes of Montana Scenery will give you over two dozen airports, and she does some of the nicest scenery I've seen. Here are the links:

Pete & Sid's Scenery Volume 4 includes Glacier Park (Kalispell), West Yellowstone and Mission-Livingston. Also Cody and Jackson Hole in Wyoming. And Jon Loney has done a version of Laramie, Wyoming you can get here...

Those should keep you busy for a while. :ernae:
