2 lightmaps for 1 plane

#1 Post by pilotter »

good day, first of all man many many thanks for your beautifull models.

Will it give problems 1 there are 2 lightmaps in the fsx texture folder?

I have;

- Faib_737_600_L.dds
-Faib_737_600_Alwayson_L.dds

or must 1 be removed?

If you have the SP2 737NG models you can remove both lightmaps just make sure you have a copy of the lightmaps in your main Flight Simulator texture folder.

thanks, so just to be sure these - Faib_737_600_L.dds and
-Faib_737_600_Alwayson_L.dds both in the main texture folder, and not in the aircraft folder.

Just to add to the confusion:
The are exemptions - You can NOT do that for the FAIB 737-200 through -500 models, they require their specific lightmaps in each texture folder!

I must be doing something wrong, I have the light textures in the man P3dV2 texture folder, but no lights at the planes at night. I have this with the faib A319 and faib 737700/800 :ugeek:

I do have the FDE files changed by replacemts from the aig group....But I don't think this is the problem?

Nah, the FDE files have nothing to do with it. Try putting the _L files in the individual texture.repaint and see if that works.

This may work different in P3D, I see no reason why it wouldn't but I don't have P3D so I wouldn't know.

is it correct that the always on light texture file is 1 kb, and the ( normal of 5462 kb )?

for example;

faib_A321_IAE_alwayson_l dds 1 kb
faib_A321_IAE_l dds 5462 kb


and I can have both in the p3d main texture folder?
sorry for the questions but I would really like to figure this out.....

EDIT:

downloaded the files again, now normal size and only file per model in texture folder works perfect. Again many thanks for the beautiful models and bringing me a addiction.
