black taxiways and no active camera

[Slide]

first of all: golden wings and the "graf" is all i ever wanted for my simming - thank you all for the great work, i will go back in time and stay there!

prob 1 is that all taxiways in gw3 appear black.
no matter, if i just copied my actual sim and installed gw3 or used a fresh installation: there seems to be a grass texture for a second when the flight starts, but then it´s gone and the ground is all black . runways are okay and everything else works, too. i followed all install instructions closely and i did not forget to delete the taxiway_detail.bmp - is this a known problem?

the other thing is: active camera would not work - it makes the sim crash after some seconds. no way to make it run on a second installation?

could anyone help me out with this, please?

"glueck ab" everybody!

As far as I know this is caused by leaving the taxiway-detail bitmap in place. I think there is however another person who could not get rid of the problem even after removing this texture.

Sounds like you may have installed the Fs9 update AFTER GW3? If that was the case you'll have to reinstall gw3.

Hi, Make sure you have "Render to Texture" checked under settings/ display/hardware. If that doesn't eliminate the taxiways you may have an old obsolete video card which won't support the process.. If that is the case you can put in older looking taxiways by downloading and unzipping this file into your Golden wings installation:

Hi Slide,

make shure you have installed the FS9.1 patch from active camera then it works. I have active camera on both sims without any faults.

thanks a lot everybody!
the .zip-file for older videocards helped me to some concrete.
now i am going to patch the camera, good idea!

other question....why does my older install of fs2004 not list addon-airfields anymore? (since i made the second install for gw3) any chance to recover that? sometimes, in bad weather, i cheat a bit and make a flightplan to use in gps....
my favourite hangout, the eagles northern resort (kf16) would not appear in the airport menu anymore.
@ mr and mrs lyons: it´s best with your hawaiian s-43, what a great model!
