Texture.cfg - FSX
Original Entry by: Fr. Bill Leaming
There is an acknowledged "bug" in FSX's "Texture fallback scheme" (aka: texture.cfg) that will sometimes cause FSX to lose track of where common textures are located, and also cause the thumbnail.jpg images to become "out of synch."
The "solution" for all new models is to
(a) use the \texture folder only for "common textures" and have dedicated \texture.variation folders for all the unique textures for every livery...
...and...
(b) write a custom texture.cfg file that will provide accurate fallback paths.
For example:
..\texture.common
all common textures.dds
..\texture.Livery1
all unique textures for Livery1.dds
thumbnail.jpg
texture.cfg
..\texture.Livery2
all unique textures for Livery2.dds
thumbnail.jpg
texture.cfg
texture.cfg
[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\texture.common
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\Texture
The reason for fallback.3 is to provide a direct path for the following common textures which may be called for by FSX:
Fresnel_Ramp.dds
FresnelTest.bmp
FresnelWater.bmp
GENFresnel.dds
GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome.dds
GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome_32.dds
GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome_64.dds
GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome_128.dds
GlobalEnvTest.dds
