Hi everyone, I'm starting with fresh installations of FS9, Silver Wings, and Golden Wings 3. I just put in Akron 1931 package as it's currently posted on The Old Hangar Downloads page. I went to take a look at KAKR Akron Fulton Intl. for it's airship facilities and although some objects like fences and autogen buildings are textured, the local custom buildings and trees aren't textured. Any idea what might have happened? I do have the layers in order: Akron 1931 Akron 1931 2 AI traffic and AFCADs appear to be correct. All the textures seem to be in the appropriate addon scenery\Akron 1931\texture folder. I'm puzzled I used the "high bandwidth" single download version. Is there any difference with the 3 parter? Any assistance appreciated, Yours, An update, I copied all the textures from Akron 1931\texture ti Addon Scenery\texture and now have the external hangar textures, trees, towers, etc, but I'm still missing most of the walls for the main terminal building, gas stations, a bus and some roofs. I saw only this in reference to "required files": "Required Files All Bill Lyons' 2004 Files" I don't suppose someone could help with specifics?...or a ballpark guess as to what this means. Any ideas? Scenery?...Aircraft?.. both? Oh, I'm only installing this in Golden Wings 3 in FS2004. There are no other Addon sceneries yet. P.P.S. Ok, I've found all the files by Bill from 2004, and installed them, but still have very few textures on the main terminal building. Any ideas where to look for those?

Did you install the "Missing Texture" file from the same location? Also you might need to install Meachum Field. I found that I needed to install all MoCat's scenery more or less in order to get all the textures.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, Tom. I haven't found yet. I've been putting them in as I can find them, but the texture of the main terminal building at Akron is still a mystery. I do have a couple of textured black walls now, but the roof and other walls of the octagonal building are still grey. I'll keep looking. Maybe MoCat will drop by and provide a short answer? ;D Yours,

Hi, Someone sent me a screenshot of this scenery, so I at least now know what I don't have. I don't have the Pitcairn Aviation Hangar and it's textures, which I assume are the same textures used on the walls of the main Akron 1931 terminal...as they are neither in the single-download or multipart download of the Akron package, the Meacham Field package, or the other one here from MoCat, they simply must have come from somewhere else...? At least the windows and gutters have textures now. If anyone has a ...guess...I'd be grateful.

Randy- I've just downloaded all the files, both high & low bandwidth and the missing objects and textures files. I will look them over tomorrow and possibly install them in GW3 to see what I get. I had them installed when they were new of course but that install of GW3 went to byte heaven long ago. I also grabbed a copy of Meachum field because Chris often reused stuff but didn't include it in the new files.
Another thought occurs to me. The 1931 Air Tour scenery also contained a version of Akron and I remember there were problems with having both active.
BTW, the real world dealt Chris a few blows so I doubt we'll see him any time soon. We are on our own to figure this out.

Hi Tom C. (..just to avoid confusion in my mind.) Thanks for the response. I do have the Key West, Akron 1931 and the Fort Ticondoroga scenery, but NOT the 1931 Air Race Package. Maybe that one is the key...west...so to speak. Oh, one thing I tried was going to the addon scenery folder/Akron scenery for and temp. disabling the exclusion files in Akron, but it only let a couple of contemporary buildings back it...no textures or the missing Pitcairn Hangar showed up. I'm very sorry to hear about Chris. I do hope things turn around for him and soon. I missed out on all his stuff when it came out, but I'm really enjoying it now! ;D Please let me know what you come up with. I'd like to get this worked out, if nothing else, just so we can find an answer...and I don't have a big grey box! Yours,

And close up. I believe you will need the Travel Air package to get the gas station and truck. Attachments:

I just noticed something. In my addon scenery folder I had both a texture folder and a textures folder. FS will not see textures (with an s), so if you have one of those, move the contents into the texture (without an s) folder.

Hi Tom, AHAH! We're looking at 2 different airports in Akron. I'm looking at KAKR Fulton. I assume your posting screenshots of KWFL Wing Foot Lake...which for some strange reason appears in my GPS, but doesn't appear in my "Go to Airport" listings. ...strange. I don't have my ftp software back in yet, so I'll just PM my screenshot of KAKR. Oh, my KWFL, the menu problem aside, looks just like yours. ;D P.S. I thought I had your email from way back when. Oh well, sorry, I'll just post it in Facebook: See what I mean? From the shots Bruce sent me, this should be a sandstone color with a Pitcairn Hangar right next to it....same color. The hangar is there, and the building, signs and roof aren't textured. I've gone through all the textures looking for the Pitcairn Air Service texutures, but they aren't there.

A couple questions... Did you remove any of the default FS9 scenery? The Pitcairn Hangar textures are in X:\Program Files\FSGW\Scenery\Namc\texture Did you install MoCat's scenery from The Old Hangar download page or did you get it somewhere else? Do you have ALL of Bill's Custom Classics installed? I do have an untextured bus by the way. I just saw it go by.

Hi, OK, this is a default installation of FSGW3 in FS2004. I had only installed by TravelAir package scenery/aircraft from Golden Age at this point. I came to the old hangar and started with MoCat's packages and the Graf Zepplin to begin with, as I'd never had the opportunity to try them out. I did read the readme and went back and picked up all MoCats packages from the Old Hangar Downloads page, then went to find everything I could still get my hands on from Lynn and Bill from the year 2004, aircraft and scenery, from both the Old Hangar Downloads page and at AVSIM (..some are gone). I tried both the high bandwidth package and multipart package for Akron 1931...and that's where it stands now. Of the included airports that I've been to, this is the only one that seems to be missing parts/textures. I haven't moved or removed any default scenery..that I'm aware of. I did install Akron and Akron 2 in the Addon Scenery folder...but they should find those models and textures..shouldn't they? Ah, I found PitcairnHangar.bmp! It still doesn't expain the missing Pitcairn Hangar, but if the terminal is getting it's texture from that file, I'll see if I can copy that to the Akron folder and get that biulding textured...if it's the same sheet. Answer: No, it isn't. I don't have the model for the hangar and that sheet wasn't used for the main terminal building. It still looks like my screenshot. (although the PitcairnHangar.bmps weren't in the texture folder of the Akron package, but that shouldn't matter) As to the grey bus, I was running around MoCat's forum (this one) back when this came out and it's mentioned that that's a military bus that's supposed to be primer grey in color, so I assume that's the bus that's being discussed there. From what I can gather from this, there are Custom Classics packages that are no longer avaiable at AVSIM that have those files in there. I wish I'd grabbed them all when I still could.
