Advice on r8 texture's

[ian elliot]

I thought i'd pop over here and ask for some advice, im trying to convert some old scenery to FS9, but the old r8 background polys are getting in the way, i know the same r8 textures are lurking in the depths of CFS2 as well as FS9, lord know why, there not really used for anything anymore, im wondering if the scenery experts over here have any ideas of working around these texture's.
cheers ian

Hi Ian,

Is this the one you were thinking of?

It's one done by kelticheart for the fox four airstrips.

I think there is a way to open the bgl and change the texture. Look in Robert John's CFS2 mags. I can't remember right off hand what is needed. I do know one of his articles covers it.
