Spent some time searching but alas I must post. I had to reinstall today (see earlier thread) and I decided to convert Mips before I went to work, so I would come home and take off. I noticed when I started the process my hard drive (brand new) was not making any noise. I did not think much of it until I came home 8 hours later to FE saying Standby...Converting Textures........ $#^! I thought, something weird. I uninstalled everything (related to ASV) per the uninstallation instructions in the manual, then reinstalled ASV w/the SU2. Turned off virus software/Spamware, the whole lot. Hit the button to convert Mips (256 resoultion) and now one hour later, I sit and am looking at the screen Standby...Converting Texures. O.K., guys, what I am doing wrong? What's the next step?? Thanks in advance.

HI Cameron,Just check in the fs2004texture if the cumulus01.bmp from one of these installed from Active Environment (512x512)=1.33mb, (256x256)=342kb or (64x64)=22kb, if yes; mips are enabled.ThanksChris WillisHiFi Simulation Software Team Developerhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Chris, I checked the file and it is at 256 KB. I also checked my ini file and it said the fs9path, defaultweatherfolder and lastplanfolder all = ***. I am going to bed. I just did a quick flight and it was fun. Will see you all tomorrow. Thanks to Jim and Chris for the help today (I just love the reinstallation process after I had it all figured just right:9)

Hi,The fs9path and default weather folder need entries and not ***. You can enter them manually in the .ini file.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

I entered my fS9 folder for the path and the texture folder for the default weather. I do remember a message from ASV appearing and saying that it appears I might be on a network (I am not) and to make sure the FS9 path is correct. Would this cause any of the problems?

Hi,Make your lines look like this:(Adjust for your paths)DefaultWeatherFolder = E:FS2004ModulesASVFS9Path = E:FS2004Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Jim, thanks. All is very well, sorry did not respond sooner, flying online all day. Thanks again for the help!

Hi,Please note that the sad face was not meant. I guesss I typed the code for it in my response!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
