Why is Kdtw missing textures?

Recommended Posts

i downloaded the Kdtw scenery and by the looks of it the roof is missing and so are the building textures. When looking at the airport roof there is about 1/8 of the silver roof flickering. I am quite confused on this one. I followed the readme instructions to a T. The only thing I can think of is it told me to take two jfk textures and copy and paste them. But I followed everything right.

 

Fsx. Rex4. Asn. Ezdok. Orbx global.

 

What Kdtw should look like

I noticed that at AVSIM you did not get very many responses. When you say you did a download and it doesn't look right, it's very helpful to give a link or a file name of the download so we can look at it and help.

 

I found KDTW_RS_FSX.zip in the library and it looks like what you are showing. I get pretty much the same results looking at the terminal roof. My shot is from a different angle. I'm no scenery design expert, but I'm thinking the developer left out some important .bgl files. The 2 JFK textures were for the jetways.

 

I put red marks on the roof that is missing the new shape as compared to the developer's screenshots.

That is the default building and it looks fine for me, using Acceleration and DX10.

 

What does the default airport look like.

 

Zippy, what is that at the top of your pic? The flight sim pic, not the tasty treats.

It's either the brim of my hat, or I took this shot leaning out of the Tower in tower view mode.

Could be that I am not running the acceleration version.

 

That's the reason IMO. Nor MrZippy has Accel IIRC.

Must be the author lost out of sight KDTW looks different with Accel installed.

 

This is how it looks over here (FSX Deluxe + Accel, or Gold as it's called now).

The roof isn't missing. The developer appears to a chosen to model a different roof - possibly an FSX generic one.

Which is why I said it is the default scenery object because I actually downloaded the files and looked at them.

For you non-Accel users, can you please look at ...\FSX\Scenery\NAMC\scenery\Detroit.dll and see if it is dated August 21, 2006 and weighs 5,421,992 bytes?

 

Thanks.

5295*1024=5,422,080

 

5,421,992/1024=5294.9140625

 

Close enough for the girls I go out with.

 

I compared the FSX Deluxe terminal to the Acceleration terminal and the only difference I found was one material setting, not enough to cause this.

 

I also tested the Deluxe version in Acceleration and it looks OK.

 

I wonder if gregdpw is using FSX Standard like Zippy, and that is the difference?

I'm using Acceleration, and it still has the missing roof textures. I would have thought it would be fixed by now. I'm going to email the developer.

 

After looking at this more closely, my KDTW does look like the developer's pictures. I was looking at the wrong part of the roof.
