Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I would like to report something to check - texture.cfg for otter now has the following content:

[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\..\DHC-3 Otter Milviz\texture
fallback.2=..\..\..\Texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture

While the first option work, #2 and #3 point to some non-existing location. If we assume that texture is the root, then these options throw an error:

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\DHC-3 Otter Milviz\texture.C-GFTZ>cd ..\..\..\Texture
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\DHC-3 Otter Milviz\texture.C-GFTZ>cd ..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\DHC-3 Otter Milviz\texture.C-GFTZ>

I didn't notice any fault related with that, but maybe this triggers some unnecessary actions in sim so it can be removed?

The 2nd entry is missing one level, and the 3rd has one too many. That last one was a reference to ACES master machine in Redmond, WA which hasn't existed for many years now...

Correct fallbacks should be:

Great, Thank you for the update!
