You'll need to alter the material in Gmax.


First create your night texture using the original texture as a guide.

Then open the building in Gmax, open the material editor and select the one covering the building. Then add your new texture to the 'ambient' field of the material (you'll need to click the little padlock icon first before you can add a map to it) and re-export it.

Alright, i did that but now my fs9 boots up and the screen goes black when i start my flight, then it crashes... i think it might be the format i'm saving the night bmp in, i've saved it with several different formats... it still doesn't work, what am i doing wrong?

[jvicaai]

are you wanting the model too? cause all i uploaded to the afcad section is the AFCAD itself...

i got the AFCAD AND the GMAX model,
gmax would stop when i try to exsport the model, just this one.
i tried my others and they go thru fine.
does your model go thru when exsporting?

[jvicaai]

yeah, you have to save the texture included to your add on scenery/texture folder in your fs9 folder, and then change the path of the texture itself in GMAX to the new one you just copied, other than that... i don't know what's wrong

  OH dear!
it seems the contractor you hired to develop the airport did not cut the trees down!

you seriously need to make some flatten files,
or exclude files.

[jvicaai]
