Hi again, After installing the mod I found that dirt runway textures are being blocked by terrain textures and I cant see the runway anymore. my fault or what?

[vpmedia]

pls someone move this to the tech help section

[vpmedia]

if you mean the semi transparent green runway textures you can deactivate those by renaming this folder:
#SAS\TEXTURES_Buildings\3do\Airfield\ground to -ground

How do I make them NOT semi-transparent. I want to be able to SEE THE RUNWAY.

Same here.

What's wrong with my answer?

What Istvan (vpmedia) is saying is this. If you have a mod folder containing runway textures, by renaming that folder with a "-" in front of the name you will render said folder inactive, and the game will read instead from the stock folder in one of the SFS archive files. Some modded runway textures are partially transparent (so as to neatly blend with the terrain, instead of looking like some jarring cut-out dropped on the land.) The stock runway textures do not utilize semi-transparency via blending, and so you will have the best chance to see the texture on top of the terrain texture.

Not that is a guarantee for solution if some other issue is at work.

Hey, thanks for the replies. The thing is the runway is hard to see on some maps, but with -folder it is gone.
