• 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.

FS2004 The case of the missing textures

I've used ADE to add some objects to a default airport. Mostly hangers, small airport buildings, etc. Everything worked ok.
However when I copied the airport scenery folder into a totally different FS9 install I have, while the majority of the scenery objects show ok, a few hangers are totally missing textures.

Both installs I have of FS9 is on the same HDD, both have the same object libraries installed (Static Objects Library, RW 12 etc) and scenery / texture folders in the Addon Scenery folder. Yet a few hangers are still white and missing textures on the 2nd install that I tried it on.

I can't figure out where the hanger textures are drawing from then.

Any help greatly appreciated.
 
I've run into this issue on occasion ... scenery items from libraries where some of the textures for the library items aren't included with the library but drawn from some 3rd party set of textures that were supposed to be installed in the default Texture folder.
Texture libraries such as Nova and NovaGold or even VOD (visual object designer) might be the source required.
Check out the default Texture folder in the working installation and see if there are any textures prefixed Nova... NovaGold... or VOD... that might need to be copied over.
If push come to shove, just copy everything from the Texture folder of the working installation that isn't in the target installation ;)
I've had similar symptoms with some tree textures just recently in an FS2002 scenery ... had to disassemble the scenery file to see what textures were being called up, then go find them!
 
Ok that makes sense. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. They must be somewhere. I'll go over each step again and just copy over everything and see what happens.

Thanks mate. 👍
 
Oh my gosh, I've copied every texture folder over from one install to the next and still the same textures are missing. The sim does strange things sometimes.
The plot thickens.
Who did it in The case of the Missing Textures??

to be continued...

OK ... step two ... if you can remember or figure out which library the problematic hangers came from there might be some associated documentation to give some clues.
Unfortunately I'm not in a situation to run or compare anything at the moment as I suffered a disk crash last week and haven't fully re-installed everything (all data is safe and fully backed up!)
 
Sorry to hear about your crash. Good to know it’s all backed up!
I’ll follow your suggestion and see what turns up.

I’m on the case…
