johnny19 16 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Gents, After installing ENVA I only get black textures. SODE is running the latest version, tried adding the airport via the xml method and via the scenery dialog in p3d, in both cases black textures. Any solution to this? Looked on the forum but similar posts made no results. Thank you Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 16, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 16, 2017 What P3D version are you using? Can you show a screenshot (.png or .jpg format) please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2144 Posted November 16, 2017 Developer Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi Ivan, Black textures is an indication that the models are unable to locate the texture files, have you moved the Vaernes scenery and texture folder to a different location than the default install path by any chance? They should be in this directory: ...\Prepar3D v4\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Vaernes V2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny19 16 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 It's P3D v4. Yes I am actually very familiar with files structures and yes, i agree, the program can't find necesary textures. No, the files have not been removed from their installation location. I made the install outside of the simulator, like all of my addon airports. But also i have found out that the jetways at Oslo airport are black too. I remember them working okay the other day. I have also checked other airports that use SODE and haven't found issues. I have tried reinstalling SODE but no use. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jo Erlend 2144 Posted November 16, 2017 Developer Share Posted November 16, 2017 If you haven't installed the scenery to the default location but outside of the Ecosystem/Aerosoft folder you'll need to adjust the path the simobjects use to locate the textures, if you look inside ...\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Misc\SODE_ENVA you'll see these folders: Texture, Texture.FA, Texture.SP, Texture.SU, Texture.WI inside all of these you'll find a text file that defines the paths to the texture files, adjust these paths so they lead to the corresponding folders location on your system.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 16, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 16, 2017 The original path would be P3D Base Folder\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Vaernes V2.0 Have you modified all related files to your custom folder setting?

I never did, as it is obvious, cause it somehow did work without it. Thank you again for an advice and your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisho0 12 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I have the same scenery issue. Installed Aerosoft Trondheim Vaernes V2 in P3Dv4.1 Installed in the P3Dv4 folder (Default) no issues. After I moved the Vaernes V2 folder to outside of P3Dv4 to save disk space and the scenery has issues, black. How to remedy this? Please login to display this image.

Vaernes is not meant to be installed outside its default folder. I f you want to do so, you have to manually edit various files. If you want to dos, read the topic from the beginning to get an idea what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found like [fltsim] fallback.1=..\..\..\..\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Vaernes V2.0\Texture and edited as: [fltsim] fallback.1=D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Ecosystem\Aerosoft\Vaernes V2.0\Texture where D:\ is the drive that P3Dv4 needs to look at. It worked! many thanks to all ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
