Help - what have I done?

I tried to install an some addon scenery and my terrain has gone very odd. I did an uninstall and full reinstall, but without any improvement. In fact the aircraft doesn't look like this, but the landscape does. What have I done, and how can I get things right?
 
Eek! That's a new one!

What scenery was is that you added?

If you're sure that whatever it was is no longer in your cfs3 install, have you run the cfs3 config again?
 
Horrible, isn't it? I just checked, and I'm sorry to have to admit it was your RAF Fighter Station stuff. Foolishly I did it all at once rather than bit by bit. It might have been the messing with the lcmosaic in Terrains, but before the reinstall I checked that the whole Terrains folder had gone, and the new version shows today's date. Maybe another reinstall to another place?
 
Gosh it's so long ago that I did that, I've forgotten what was involved in the installation.
With the advent of the ETO etc. it's outdated now anyway.

Was it a stock install you were modding? The terrains folder will be the culprit, try deleting the .zx files or else replace the whole folder.
 
It was stock apart from some a/c, which have survived into the new install. I can't replace the folder, can I, without another install? You think deleting the zx's might help?

5 minutes later: no, tried that. No difference.
 
...uh

...are you sure you didn't set your sliders to minus one and a half...(?)

No, I think you've accidentally deleted some files... or perhaps
an archive in your terrains folder or...(?)....:kilroy:....^^*^^:mixedsmi:
 
I've had a look in the warbirds archive. Did you download V1.0?
The only file that will cause this is the lcmosaic.zip

Do you have ETO installed? If so copy and paste the lcmosaic file from from that into this one. just check it's dated 2002.

Edit. I've just downloaded and installed to my stock cfs3 and all works fine, so it's nothing in the download I'm relieved to say! It's showing it's age now.
