New Golden Hawaii Instructions

[Admin]

My original post regarding Golden Hawaii was made BEFORE FSGW3 existed and lately has caused some confusion for members so I am re-witing it specifically to make Golden Hawaii a permanent part of FSGW3.

Assuming FSGW3 is already installed, install Golden Hawaii according to Bill's instructions but DO NOT run the switcher program.

Go to FSGW3\Scenery\Ocen and you should find the following folders:

ghtexture
hscenery
scenery
texture

Make a new folder called Mod_Hawaii and MOVE the following files into it:

AB903230
AB904290
AB905240
AB905350
AB905380
AB905390
AB906240

RD904290
RD905240
RD905350
RD905380
RD905390
RD906240
RD906250

Next, COPY the contents of ghtexture into the texture folder
and COPY the contents of hscenery into the scenery folder.

DO NOT run the switcher program. You can delete it if you wish as it is not used in this method.

Now Golden Hawaii should be permanently a part of FSGW3

Note - The reason for copying the GH files is to leave a list behind should you ever need to remove them. If you are sure and committed, you can delete ghtexture, hscenery and Mod_Hawaii to save space.

Tom,

Thanks for modifying your instructions. I was able to locate all of the files except for the following:

RD903230
RD904290

I noticed that the textures of the Hawaiian mountains in Golden Wings look different than those in the stand-alone version of Golden Hawaii. In the case of the former, the textures are the ugle Microsoft dark-olive green whereas with the later they are a nice blueish green that goes well for the surrounding mountains.

Tom,

Do you know of any way to make the textures of the mountains look the same in both the stand alone GH and the incorportated version of GH and GW? Please see above post. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Walter

Installing GH into GW3 should look no different than installing it into FS9. There should be no difference if all steps were followed. Did you miss this step?: Next, COPY the contents of ghtexture into the texture folder That might account for a difference in ground textures. Otherwise the textures should be identical no matter which version (FS9 or GW3) you are using it with.

One other thought occurs to me. In order for GH to be installed properly, GW3 must be installed first, then Golden Hawaii.

Here are two pictures of what mine looks like:

Go to FSGW3\Scenery\Ocen and you should find the following folders:

Make a new folder called Mod_Hawaii and MOVE the following files into it:

Hi Tom,

I understand this is an old topic - and it's the second time around for me installing GW3 and Golden Hawaii - althought it's the first time trying them together!

I'm not sure something isn't working right - followed your instructions to a "T" ... but ... I still have the modern city buildings, I have the Arizona memorial right beside the old ships in Battleship row, etc. Not sure if I have missed something in the translation of adding GH to GW. Also, in the files you mention to move to the Mod_Hawaii folder, I'm also unable to find the two files another member mentioned.

One other question, when you say to create a folder called Mod_Hawaii, I presumed it was to be created in the "Ocen" folder - correct?

cheers...

Sorry I missed this. Yes, the Mod_Hawaii folder can actually go anywhere, but keeping it in the Ocen folder means you won't have to go looking for it if you need it.

If you still have modern buildings, there are two possible explanations.
1. a file from my list (possibly honolulu.bgl) may not have been moved from scenery to mod_hawaii
2. You have another hawaii scenery installed.

I think those two missing files do not exist so don't worry about them.

I can't trouble shoot this in any detail because my GW/GH install was corrupted and lost. I have not re-installed it as yet, having pretty much moved to FSX.

[middlejohn]

Hmmmm...it makes me wonder if one can do the same thing with FS9....that is make it permanent and not have to use the switcher,,,,

[Tom Constantine]

should work exactly the same way.

I'm glad I found this thread. I was wondering how to make GH permit in GW3. Thank you. I love this sim in Golden Wings.
