Hello everyone,

 

In order not to "pollute" the post on the HD textures, I open it that is specific to these new textures.

 

So, here's my latest creation for FS2004

 

Finding nothing more to cope with behemoths like Orbx FSX, I'm, a little frustrated, re-interested in FS2004.
A guy (jon_aus) contacted me and told me he had tried my ground textures for FSX  into FS2004 and the result was not too bad.
I did some tests and then finally converted this work by adding and creating new textures specially developed for FS2004.
Admittedly, it remains with textures 4 m/pix, but curiously, it seems they are more accurate. From there I got the idea of ​​"emergence"

 

This way one can "pompous" finally is not so unwarranted when we read the definition of emergence on Wiki french:

 

"Emergence is a concept that occurs when simple systems show, through their interactions and their evolution, another level of complexity that is difficult to predict or describe by the analysis of these systems in isolation."

 

And so they are in the same line as the project "forests, mountains and intermediate zones for FSX" these textures adapted and developed for FS2004

Few hours on Avsim and already more than 300 downloads: who said FS2004 not interest anyone?

Obviously, with a good mesh and Ultimate Terrain (USA & Europa)

 

I hope to please lovers FS2004.

Looks great, definitely worth a try! 

Many thanks

Unfortunately the new textures are causing FS9 to crash if I try to load a scenery in certain parts of the world. I mostly fly in the US and Canada. I tried opening Albequerque KABQ and Fort Resolution CYFR with the time set to day and the sim crashed while the progress bar was in the "loading terrain" section. Both airports would load if I set the time to night, however. I tried an airport in Estonia and one in China with the time set to day and had no problems with either. I'm guessing the texture(s) causing the problem are not used in those locations. Can someone else please try opening KABQ and CYFR and reporting the results? Thanks.

 

P.S. -- had no such problems with V3.

Sorry, Sidney - both locations loaded okay for me.  I tried two different seasons.

Sidney, both locations are ok for me (all seasons) but I've find 2 errors for textures 003b2wi7.bmp. (square of snow) and 003b2hw7.bmp

Please try it again: I've just change it.

Rats....still having the same problem. Any suggestions on how to find the textures that are causing the problem? My technical knowledge is about zero. Viewing some of the files in Imagetool I noticed that some are most are DXT1 but some are 8 bit. Also, there are a bunch that looks like alpha channel masks that are 32 x 2048 in size...see attached pic. Are any of these potential trouble makers?

 

 

 

Never mind. I see that V3 also has some 8 bit and some 32 x 2048 textures, and I had no problem with those. This is frustrating, but if I have to stay with V3 it will still be a huge improvement over any other textures I've used.

Sidney,

 

The 2048x32 are used to merge and blend differents textures (I don't have change these one)

 

Try the version 0.6 (Include only the 003b2 patch)

I had no problems in the same area. Do you have any add-on scenery, airports, landclass etc for those areas?

Of course. I refuse to visit ugly, boring stock airports. 

 

You have a good point there. The airports I tried in Estonia and China had no add on scenery, since those are places I normally never fly. I had no problems with v3 of the textures, though, at any of my airports with add on scenery.

I haven't had time to do extensive testing yet, but the determining factor seems to be geographic location and not add-on scenery. I just tried a couple of airports in the U.S. and Canada with no add-on scenery and it crashed the same as it did with U.S./Canadian airports with add-on scenery. I've tried airports with no add-on scenery in Japan, China and Estonia with no crashing. When I have time I'll try installing an add-on scenery for Japan or China and seeing if it loads or crashes.

 

Hmmm. Are those of you who report no crashing using Ultimate Terrain? I have that installed for U.S. and Canada.

Sidney - yes, I use UT, and that doesn't seem to be a factor for me...

Sidney,

Made a copy of your working v0.3 texture folder and install new version into.

Have your trying the v0.6 linked above?
