Missing taxiways

[batfink]

Hi,
I have just installed GW3 but I have no taxiways.
If I re-install the

taxiway_detail.bmp

I just get black taxiways.

Any ideas.
Thanks

Removing taxiways was part of regressing airfields to a 30's look.

There is a method to replace them but I can't remember the detail now. I'll check some back threads and see if I can find the solution.

Goto your .....\<FSGW3>\Texture\... folder.

Several of the 'taxi_*.bmp' files have been modified. The FS9 default files have a date of 4/17/03. Any other file date indicates they are the GW3 modified files.

You can replace them with the fs9 default files. If you want markings you'll also have replace 'taxiway_marks.bmp'.

You might want to backup the GW3 files in case you find the 'new' taxiways don't look right with the regressed runways.

Thanks for that, I may have been mistaken in what to expect.

Just to clarrify, when at for example Boston Logan, KBOS, there are no taxiways or aprons at all, it's just grass textures, or snow as it's winter.

Thanks
Peter.

That was the design intent.

If you want to add taxiways and aprons back to KBOS for example, use AFCAD2 and change the taxiways & aprons texture to coral. If you replace the files mentioned above, you will have modern taxiways and aprons EVERYWHERE.

Perhaps your best solution for KBOS is to go to www.theoldhangar.com/downloads.html and get Simonov Man's excellent vintage scenery for KBOS (and his others as well)

Ok thanks for that, I just wasn't sure.
