• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Texture problem when used by other than me

Hello,

after some tests finally i found a way to create and use my static aircraft library without any missing textures messages. I created a small scenery and i populated it with static aircrafts. The static aircraft library is located in a separate folder, both scenery and texture (with subfolder for every model) in Addon Scenery and activated through the scenery library.
I gave the scenery (including the static planes library and placement bgl) to a friend to test it.
He used the same installation as me, but when he loads the airport, he gets the "could not find textures in X directory" and the static planes are missing their textures.
I asked him to move the static aircraft texture folder to the main texture folder of FS and now he gets the same message but he can see the texture from the planes...
Does anybody knows why this happens or how the static planes should be installed?
I used EZ-scenery to place the static planes.

Best Regards
Stamatis
 
Instant Scenery prior to Version 2 did not hadle texture sub-folders for scenery models properly. If you are using Version 1, that's likley your problem. There are several posts in this forum on the subject and some may provide a workaround.

As for how to install static models, the user manual covers this topic extensively. You seem to be doing it correctly.

I am running version 2.1.02 for SAMM.
In my installation everything works great, no error messages or missing textures.
The problem arises when the scenery is installed in another computer.
Strange enough, the guy who i gave the scenery to test, gets this message saying that he cannot find the textures in the directory where fs9.cfg is located.

Somethings been "lost in the translation". There's no connection between FS9.cfg and the static aircraft textures.

If the static aircraft textures folders are installed in an active Scenery Library texture folder and the positioning .bgl is saved in the companion scenery folder (per the user manual), it will work. Without specifics as to where things are installed, I can only conclude the static aircraft have not been installed properly.
