Hi. This is the path I have:

WAW2/MAPMODS/Maps/_Tex/water/PacificBlueTL.tga

The map works fine except for the strange squares on the parking areas.

That is exactly what I am confused about.  There is no "_Tex" folder in the WAW2 folder by default.  Why did you have one?  Don't get me wrong here, I am not doubting you, I am simply trying to figure out why at least 2-3 of you have this problem and what can be done to fix it without continually adding duplicate textures into future releases.  If it is an install problem, you are probably missing more map files you just don't know it right now.

I checked in game and I do not have a problem with the parking area.  I will post about that in the other topic...

That's because all the map files are compressed into SFS files.  You won't see the individual map files in the #WAW2 folders.  Not familiar with the Lancaster campaign.  Was it written for BAT, if not, there is no guarantee it will work.  The campaign might need to be updated.

heloo,
 @  Test this : rename "PacificBlueTL.tga" to "PacificBlue.tga" 
 as was said, I too have a problem with chute map, this I could fix in cup when there were tex. folder etc, but not now, as also is obvious, there are NO tex folders etc in BAT.. so how can I rename "PacificBlueTL.tga" to "PacificBlue.tga" ? when it is all locked up in SFS file ?.
this is in WAW2 FMB, ( as the Lanc campaign uses the chute map I haven't, and wont try it till I can fix it. like I did in CUP ).
BAT installed on clean 4.12  etc as it should be, as it is within FMB I gather it is not just a WAW2 prob. though I haven't used other version/s in activator yet.
 so where and how can I rename and place the "fix" offered ?
any help will be appreciated muchly. & it's always the chute map LOL .....

G'day Sharkzz, hope this helps mate.  :-* LOL
Ok, On reading through this thread, we know that there aren't texture and map folders as we had in CUP. BUT, to solve this Chute problem I tried a few things just to see what would happen. In regards to the Chute map, which quite a few of us had/have problems with, in CUP, We, the problem children  (lol), worked out that changing texture tga names worked, as well as adding files ie: land textures etc, and mixing up what chute maps we could lay our hands on, fixed the problem. SO SAYING, In WAW2 - MAPS folder I 1st placed into the WAW2 maps folder texture and "working" Chute  maps folders, renaming the water texture fixed the summer chute map, but didn't fix the winter map I still got in FMB the missing land error text you get in FMB when the map doesn't load correctly.  So saying again, (sorry to repeat myself so much but it's 4.31 am here and lack of sleep due to pain I am only able to get 2 to 3 hours sleep a night for the last 6 months and it's taking it's toll), I copied a winter Chute map folder WHOLEY into the WAW2 MAPS folder, (to fix the winter map). and NOW, I have working winter and summer Chute maps. I DID NOT HAVE TO ALTER ANY TEXT IN THE "all in" file. ! Lanc campaign loads and works great as well as being able to open in FMB BOTH Chute maps. ( phew !).
So in my case, (I am NOT certain about other people's installs of BAT), JUST placing a texture folder with known working map folders, in this case Chute, has ixed the problem with no noticeable bad effects to the game. ALL is going great .
I hope this helps those in need. If you need some help with a clearer explanation PLEASE ask me and I will endeavour to help you as much as I can, with my limited knowledge and intelligence (not much I'm afraid in that area lol).
Cheers to ALL...... BAT is truly the next BEST step in what SAS has been doing with IL2 and I am extremely happy and enjoying BAT !.

Thanks m8  LOL....

open the maps load.ini and change the water to a stock setting, for example

[WATER]
Water    = water/Water.tga

or

Water    = water/PacificWater.tga
