Are there supposed to be .r8 files in the main fs9 texture folder? I have been getting a ctd everytime i fly over the crg vor in south georgia now and it is getting annoying, can this be it?

Mike,the answer is Yes. I have 138 .r8 files in my /texture folder. EDIT: There's a .r8 converter, convr8.exe out there, it will open and save both, .r8 and .bmp formats. Regards,Jure

Ah ok, I figured out what my ctd was from, it was fs florida freeflow that caused the issue. I did not have all of Toni Hiltunen's cities installed, in the readme it says you must download and install all of his florida sceneries so I guess thats what it was. But now I have a new problem, some of the sceneries have patches for ut usa, but how do i know if the ones that don't have patches are compatible?
