Need some help over here!

[pablo10692]

While playing the Snowy Norway terrain, I found two problems:

 

This is the Sun, I think. I have installed Wide Sky mod. Just a lot os squares...

 

 

No airports.

 

 

And in the F/A-18KT, the HUD letters are kind of smooth (I think that is smooth the word).

 

 

Anyone can help me?

Nobody?

Have you installed the Siberian Sun mod?

This will fix your hud problems.

 

You can thank Fast Cargo for this - the guy is a wealth of info:

Okay, part of the issue is that you've got a combo HUD there...you've got parts of the older F/A-18A HUD mixed in with the newer F/A-18A HUD. The 'fuzzy' stuff is the old stuff.

 

Alright, here is the most straight forward way to fix it, but it takes a while to download the file you need.

 

Go to this link and download the Mega Pack C6:

 

http://www.checksix-fr.com/bibliotheque/in...hp?Fichier=4541

 

It's a HUGE download, and has a lot of stuff in it.

 

Install the pack, but NOT into any of your current installs. Make a 'fake' install location for it.

 

Once that's done, look in the Objects/Aircraft section for a F-18BA. It's a Blue Angel F/A-18A, but has the modern avionics.

 

Put that aircraft into your Objects/Aircraft directory of the install you want to fly the F/A-18 in.

 

Now, go into your old F-18 directory...you see the subdirectorys of skins? (most named for the squadrons they belong to). Copy those directories to your F-18 Blue Angel directory.

 

Go into the F-18 Blue Angel directory (F-18BA)...you see the subdirectories with the Blue Angel skins (BA, B1, B2, B3, etc)? Delete them...all of them.

 

Open up the F-18BA.ini file and first look for the entry that says this:

 

[AircraftData]

AircraftFullName=F-18 Blue Angel

etc...

 

Change it to:

AircraftFullName=F/A-18A Hornet

 

Then, find these entries:

 

[TextureSet001]

Directory=BA

Name=BlueAngels N°1

Nation=USN

Squadron=Blue Angels

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.500000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet002]

Directory=B2

Name=BlueAngels N°2

Nation=USN

Squadron=Blue Angels

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.500000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet003]

Directory=B3

Name=BlueAngels N°3

Nation=USN

Squadron=Blue Angels

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.500000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet004]

Directory=B4

Name=BlueAngels N°4

Nation=USN

Squadron=Blue Angels

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.500000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet005]

Directory=B5

Name=BlueAngels N°5

Nation=USN

Squadron=Blue Angels

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.500000

Reflection=0.100000

 

[TextureSet006]

Directory=B6

Name=BlueAngels N°6

Nation=USN

Squadron=Blue Angels

Specular=0.150000

Glossiness=0.500000

Reflection=0.100000

 

Delete the entries...yep, go ahead and delete all of them.

 

Save the file as FA-18A.ini.

 

Delete the following files from the F-18BA directory:

 

F18_fuse.bmp

F18_leftwing.bmp

F18_nose.bmp

F18_rightwing.bmp

F18_tails.bmp

patch.bmp

 

Rename the F-18BA directory as FA-18A.

 

Done.

 

It works...I just did every single step myself to verify it works.

 

Also, you should be able to delete your old F/A-18 too.

 

Let me know if this works for you.

Have you installed the Siberian Sun mod?

 

No, I don't.

There are many threads in this board regarding the "missing runway" problem. It's a link to the "wrong" terrain '.cab' in one of the norway '.ini's (norway.ini ?).
