Flying around Washington State (a "basic" state Wink

) because of its scenery and beautiful landscape....

.I stumbled on Bear Gulch Seaplane base ( WA38-39) and noticed some structures, tarmac, mooring and a smoking chimney but all "unfinished in white".... Who's been trying to build a base here or is something terribly amiss in relation to my eyes ?

Looks like missing texture files or tex files installed in the wrong place. FS2004 or FSX?

Then those have all the earmarks of missing texture files, right down to the big squre thingies that are probably objects like added trees or something. It If it's that many things, it is likely your install, but Stoopy's try will confirm.

If you'll post a link to where you got it, I'll give it a try too.

Agree wif' Ascout. I don't have a Bear Gulch airfield name or a WA38 or -39 ICOA code. Looks to be an addon scenery....now off to find where ot can be had.....

And on that note....siskens is that a Kingfisher you're flying in the above pic? Where'd ya get it? Looks like a fine plane to have in the hangar....

I googled and it looks to be part of a payware package so it's a "no go" for me.

Just make sure that all your scenery "texture" files are in the right place and that your folder structure is whut is should be. Should get you sorted out. Since it's obviously what I see in that link, it should all be there.

Friends ! It's an add-on indeed: FSTerrain from JustFlight and comes in no less than 4 CD's.. so there may be an answer to my own question...

The plane is the OS2U3 Kingfisher ( wonderful thing and a beauty) It's Tim Piglet's (sic) work - to be had at SOH fs2004 - don't forget the zip for that extra shine ( ori is too dull) and the inevitable repaints Cool

( AVSIM? or SOH?) AND a nice weekend to you all

Well...Bingo. And Ascout nailed it too.....the docs for the RealAir Scout package (VERY nice by the way) say that Bear Gulch is indeed installed and it's a scenery by Bill Womack.....maybe this was included in the package you mention as well siskens.

As for missing texture files....well I can believe things would go wrong. Unfortunately the package takes the 'easy' way out by installing the 'scenery' and 'tecture' folders inside your AddOn Scenery folder, but not in a "Bear Gulch" folder or anythign like that. The package assumes you have the "Addon Scenery" folder itself activated in your scenery library manager.....which is IMHO a very poor way to do things although it saves a step (and support requests) by not needing the user to manually add the folder and activate it in theior scenery library.

However, since some of us found out that having the entire "Addon Scenery" folder added and activated as an element itself can lead to mysterious lockups and crashes, after installing the package I saw what it dod and just made a "Bear Gulch" folder and moved the "scenery" and "texture" folders that were added into the Addon Scenery dolder into the "Bear Gulch" folder, then added and activated it as usual in the Scenery LIbrary manager.

Migod I hope that explains it!

Anyway yeah it's nice.....
