Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/Carvair Released

[PeteHam]

Many thanks Tim for the great Alaska Airlines textures


Now for something of a different nature ....

Because the original install is HUGE , what's the best way to reduce the original texture folder sizes (averaging 300+ Mb per texture) and have a shared common texture?

I've noted your Alaska texture folder is a fraction of the size of the original texture folders and it has a 'texture.cfg' .....

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\texture.AA
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture

I've also installed 'Douglas C54G-DC Brooks Fuel N708Z' , and it also is a fraction of the size with a different number of dds files plus a shared texture.cfg, although slightly different wording from the Alaska one above.

Is it possible to have one common texture folder to cover all 6 aircraft?

And what's the best way to go about it?

Thanks,

Pete.

Two cents. It's easy to get the texture.cfg wrong, I did it myself many times. So did the ACES team for the default planes. That fallback.3 line copies their error, pointing exactly nowhere. Fallback.2 does point to an existing folder, but it's very unlikely that there is a useful a/c texture there. Then again, what is really needed, and what isn't there, is a fallback line pointing to ..\..\..\..\Texture because that's where the global environment maps reside that are normally needed for reflection effects (glass and chrome etc). Unless, of course, you are including custom environment maps in your own texture set.

Tim HH, nice work on the Pan American Airways (PAA) paint and very much appreciated. The older liveries were a lot more stylish than the new bland modern colours most airlines have adopted (To save money on repainting the aircraft really.

Thanks Tim for these new airline textures, got them all,lol

 

[Tim-HH]

Thanks a lot for all the nice comments!

Great work! I just love that Eastern Airlines paint. Thanks very much.

Your posting on page 3 was the main reason why I did the Eastern Air Lines repaint so I'm very happy to hear that you like it

Is it possible to have one common texture folder to cover all 6 aircraft?

I don't think that it is possible to have one common texture folder for all variants as they all have different virtual cockpits and textures. But you could create a shared texture folder for each variant. The easiest way would possibly be to move the VC textures into the new shared texture folder and adapt the texture.cfg accordingly.

Hello, gents! Seems, this model doesn`t have CHT and oil temperature gauges, right?

 

[Meridien]

And the repaint request. May be someone can create Dominicana livery for the Carvair?

Oh yes, that one would be appreciated here too!

Sorry for bringing up this 2 year o[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot]ld thread but I am wondering if anybody had painted any [/FONT][FONT=&quot]livery that was used in Ber[FONT=&quot]lin Air[FONT=&quot]lift action p[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot]lease? If so, where can I find such repaints for F[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]light Rep[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]licas DC-4[/FONT][/FONT], p[/FONT][FONT=&quot]lease?

Thanks,
