MSFS2020 EHAM still pink...

Featured Replies

I can't even remember how many months it has been since Asobo broke it in one of the updates so can't believe it is "still" pink but sure enough, just passed EHAM at FL350 and the whole airport looked like it was painted by the Easter Bunny.

I am guessing this is not an issue in 2024?  I am fine with Asobo not updating 2020, I am more than content with present state and plan on migrating post SU4 (although I still really want ChasePlane but can't wait for them to get back from fishing 😉 ) but please don't break 2020... 

AI LOD is a regression in 2020, EHAM wasn't always pink in 2020, Querying an Airport via SDK standards can result in CTD with erroneous data, there is just no reason for things to be breaking in what was a rock solid and stable sim...    

I'm like the guy at the filling station who doesn't want the attendant to clean his windshield because it's already clean and they will just leave streaks.  Please don't touch LOL. 

OK, /VentOff 🙂

Is it only pink when you fly high above it? My quick circuits are at 6000 feet, and I have not experienced any "pink" issues at the airport.

This issue may be due to the missing third line in the "texture.cfg" file for EHAM.  The following is from a content creator on another platform pertaining to Cairo but may also be the case for your EHAM:

 

The issue is caused by Asobo/MS.
Easy solution taken from the forum https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/pink-textures-so-far-eham-only-default-asobo-scenery/729894/26

The problem is caused by a missing line in the “texture.cfg” file located in the airport folders (EHAM and HECA).

path example: LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\Asobo-airport-heca-cairo\scenery\cairo

The file has only two lines, but it should have three, just like other Asobo airports.

All you need to do is add the missing line:
fallback.3=Scenery\modellib-texture\ModelLib

The whole file should look like this:
[fltsim]
fallback.1=scenery\cairo\texture
fallback.2=Asobo_Buildings\Texture
fallback.3=Scenery\modellib-texture\ModelLib

Ah, so Paul is talking about the MS/Asobo version of EHAM? I had assumed that he was talking about the FlyTampa version :blush:

Yes, this is the default version that Asobo made pink after one of the SU's but I am going to try the fixes from @hansb57 and @GraMcN. thank you everyone!!
