ORBX POIs over photo scenery

Featured Replies

I have FTX Northern Ireland and have been given some photo scenery of Northern Ireland. I want to place the Northern Ireland POIs over the photo scenery rather than use ORBX's landclass textures for the region.

When I copy the scenery and textures into the same photo scenery entry folder, or even a separate entry folder above FTX NI, I get the standard 3-D models, e.g. wind turbines, dock cranes, power lines, lighthouses all showing correctly. However, the POIs, such as the Samson and Goliath shipbuilding cranes, City Hall building, Stormont building, all are missing their textures and show as black. See the pic below:

Any ideas on how to get the textures to show on the POIs please?

Only thing I can think of is finding the files (textures and bgl??) for the POI and copy them in a new folder and put that above the Photoreal.

That would be my first try.. of the top of my head.

I have tried two different methods:

  1. Place the POI.bgls and textures in a separate folder above the photoreal folder;
  2. Put the files in with the photo scenery folders.

Neither method has worked.

It's odd how I can get the standard 3-D models, such as wind turbines to display correctly, but not the unique POI models.
