    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

VRS F-18E Weapons

Is there anybody who can tell me which number or letter DDS file covers the weapons on the VRS F-18E for FSX? Some of the repaints I have the weapons are properly textured but some of the textures, the weapon texture seem to be scrambled but the rest of the airframe is fine. I know there are many talented people who visit this forum who could answer this question. Thanks in advance.

Regards Paul Day.
 
All of the non-TacPacK weapons are in the "Texture" folder located in the main VRS_FA-18E folder. There are numerous .dds files that include diffuse, specular and bump files. The files are named by weapon type.

I think I understand what you are saying. The weapons textures are in the texture folder. What I don't understand is why some repaints contain proper textures for the weapons and some repaints the weapons texture seem to be completely scrambled. In all the textures all the texture.cfg's are the same.

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

One thing to check is take a look in the repaint texture folders that have the problem textures you're talking about and see if those folders have their own weapons textures. If they do they will have the same names and these will override the global weapons textures. You can try removing or renaming just those weapons textures that are in the repaint folders so that the global weapons textures will apply. If you don't like that result you can always go back to the textures you removed/renamed.
