• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Douglas C-47 V3 Beta missing textures

Yes, I have GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome.dds in FSX\Texture and FSX\Substitutions\Texture as well as various aircraft texture folders.

However, there is a texture.cfg which only falls back to "..\texture" and "..\texture.EATS_315221". Perhaps it should also have "texture" ?

FSX looks first for a dds file and if it doesn't find it, it looks for an equivalent bmp.

Yes.. I see what you mean George.. unless the intention was to add (include) bananabob's modded maps to the models texture folder.

Where 2 versions of a map are present (bmp and dds) FSX should pull the dds map but I've found it doesn't always do this. A prime example is the fire engine on Earthsims IoS Tresco. 2 maps were/are included in the folder and FSX goes for the bmp. The end result is a black fire engine! Renamed the bmp and the fire engine returned to red:biggrin-new:
