Tern Island

[swimeye]

I have done some more testing but i cant seem to solve to problem, here is a picture to show you what i mean, i am missing the beaches.
I have tried to remove any landclass addons but no luck.
I do not miss beaches around other islands. :isadizzy:

I used the default ocean white sand beach. If you have beaches on other shores then they should show here. Check and see if you have sandy beaches at .... say .... Pensacola, Florida. Or about anywhere on the east coast.

 

[swimeye]

Ok, i looked at the shores at Pensacola and here is the result.

Looks like the beach is missing here too? So, where can i find the missing texture, i believe i have some texture backups but the qustion is only if it is the right texture folder?

 

[JoeW]

In your FSX\scenery\world\texture folder there should be a file: o_whitesand_Is.bmp. Thats the texture you need. It should be 86KB in size.

 

[swimeye]

Ok. i will try to locate that file. Thanks for your time and your support. :mixedsmi:

What happens if the scenery is installed without having Acceleration?

 

[JoeW]

What happens if the scenery is installed without having Acceleration?

Your wife will leave you!
No ..... some of the buildings and trees will not be there. Actually if people will go ahead and install acceleration with the SP2 .. FSX will be much, much better.

A fantastic add-on for us Joe, and much appreciated!

Your wife will leave you!

Nope.. just installed without Acceleration and she hasn't left me yet.

Hey Joe, can I have that in writing?

Any luck Swimeye - I am having the same problem....o_whitesand_Is.bmp. I have it....

Any luck Swimeye - I am having the same problem....o_whitesand_Is.bmp. I have it....

Me too I have it and no sand with SP1 only. Regards, Bob.

Why does anyone only have SP1 these days? How can designers, especially freeware designers, accomodate these prior, half-way-house versions?

 

[swimeye]

Yeah i solved it. It had nothing to do with missing textures for me. What i did was to exchange the terrain config file to a config file i have downloaded from Avsim a long time ago. I believed i had it installed but when i checked it was the default terrain.cfg.

If someone wants the file i can mail it to you if you PM me my email adress.

I do not know if this really was the cause of the problem but it solved my issues.

 

[JoeW]

That was probably the one that Holger and someone did ( Having a senior moment) to fix the shorelines.
I'm glad you found it. This is the first time anyone has asked about shorelines.

 

[scoutII]

This is my problem....UTX,GEX,REX....Love the Island:ernae: oh ya - have FSX deluxe

 

[limjack]

Thanks Joe!!! Very nice work indeed and so enjoyable to listen to the sounds around the island.
By the way, How much for the trailer? I am hooking it up and going to camp way on the other side of the island.

Joe...Let me tell you something..that was too cool..Your amazing in all these (type) rivot out Half inch of place rookie questions with a reply like that.. You have always been an inspiration to me all the way back to Bermuda scenery..I say to all others..Grow a ball and learn how to set your FS settings and loosen up.. turn (OFF) the crash detection..it only gives rookies something they think they (Gotcha!) about to try to look smart and junk

 

[swimeye]

ScoutII, Try the terrain config file i mentioned it helped both me and Familton.
