A-Team Planes

[GRUMPYBEAR]

I downloaded the Camel from Skunkworks and she flies great. Really enjoy the plane. My problem is it has no color/skin/texture. It's like its all silver or somthing. I see the texture files in the object/aircraft/camel folder. Do I need to edit anything?

 

Any help?

 

Thanks

Here's how my Camel.ini file looks:

 

[AircraftData]

AircraftFullName=Sopwith Camel

AircraftShortName=Sopwith Camel

AircraftDataFile=Camel_data.ini

CockpitDataFile=Camel_cockpit.ini

HangarScreen=Camel_hangar.bmp

LoadoutFile=Camel_loadout.ini

 

[LOD001]

Filename=Sopwith_Camel-R1.lod

Distance=3280

 

[DamageTexture]

DamagedPostFix=_holes.tga

DestroyedPostFix=_Shredded.tga

 

[shadow]

CastShadow=FALSE

ShadowLOD=

ShadowType=

ShadowCastDist=10000

MaxVisibleDistance=150

 

[TextureSet001] <---------------------------

Directory=Raf

Name=3 Sqn RFC, Oct 1917

Nation=RAF

Squadron=

Specular=0.350000

Glossiness=0.250000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet002] <--------------------------

Directory=AFC

Name=4 Sqn AFC, 1918

Nation=AUSTRALIA

Specular=0.350000

Glossiness=0.250000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet003] <-------------------------

Directory=RNAS

Name=10 Sqn RNAS, 1917

Nation=RAF

Specular=0.350000

Glossiness=0.250000

Reflection=0.100000

 

The sim will default to whichever skin is [TextureSet001] . All others designated 002, 003, etc

will be excluded. The 001 will make that particular skin directory show itself on the aircraft.

Hope that this is the right response to what you need <S>

Hi GB, some things to try, I am sure one will work:

 

I experiece this when the folder names of aircraft are too long, eg instead of "camel", its "copy of camel from ATeam". At a certain number of characters it does not read it properly, I think. Also if the plane ini file in that planes folder, eg for camel, camel.ini, is too long OR especially if the ini file name does not match the folder name EXACTLY. These are the usual culprits for many things in my experience, so go back to original download structure if you have changed anything.

 

If you have not made changes, as it sounds, the other problem is the graphics setting: the camel bmps are very large files. A solution to some problems maybe this one (my pc crashed) according to developers is to change this flightengine.ini in the Flight folder (I can't remember if its there as default, if not you will need to extract from a cat file) and change (after backing up, of course) the GraphicsSettings section to:

 

[GraphicsSettings]

ZBufferDepth=24

MaxVertexCount=16384

MaxIndexCount=32768

MaxTextureCount=16384

MaxModelType=2048

MaxMeshPerScene=2048

MaxModelPerScene=4096

MaxLightPerScene=1024

AspectRatio=1.333333

MinPixelSize=1.0

 

If this is all too hard, probably resizing the camel bmp files from 2048*2048 to 512*512 may work. I reckon it will, but have not used this to fix problems as such, but its a good idea to do in any case - the camel files are very large, and will affect fps significantly if you have a few camels in the air at the same time.

 

Cheers and good luck

Its not reading the texture map/folder you have in the AC folder. Have you mixed in some Camel F1 skins with the A-Team Camel folder??? They will not work together, as they are 2 different models and need skins made for that model...

I got them to work. For some reason the directory was missing in the ini / config files

Example

 

TextureSet001]

Directory=Raf

Name=3 Sqn RFC, Oct 1917

Nation=RAF

Squadron=

Specular=0.350000

Glossiness=0.250000
