Custom Line Texture

Post by rbrown3rd » Sat Sep 30, 2006 6:13 pm

Would it be possible to use one of the default line textures in the sim, modify it slightly, rename it and then use it as custom line texture?

If this is possible what is the procedure for adding it as a custom line texture?

Hello,

Yes. You can use a "named texture"! When I was designing Portugal Terrain I had a set of river textures and I assembled a pack. Later on, I gave up because I could not flat (or sink) the terrain where the river was going. Therefore I returned to a standard texture for rivers listed in the Terrain.CFG.

With FSX we are limited to the textures listed in Terrain.CFG and it is a pitty!

Thank you Luis. How would I do that? Simply copy an existing texture and rename it after editing? I don't know how to add it to the line textures available in SB.
