Thats a Folder in DBW  _Tex Folder,  it contains:  moon0010.tga   file only. Its an image of allmost full moon. Try deactivate that texture...

[SAS~Malone]

as i said, i have deactivated every single moon texture, and it stays that way.
so, it's loading like that from 'stock 1916', and no amount of me tinkering in the mods folder makes any difference.

i loaded another map to test, and the moon displayed fine, so it is likely just the one texture causing the problem. still, i'm loathe to let one little tga file get the better of me....

please give me the full folder structure as you have it, mate.

mine is: C:\Games\IL2_DBW_171\#DBW_1916\MAPMODS\maps\_Tex\moon\<tga files>

C:\#DBW\MapMods\Maps\_Tex\SunMoon\moon\moon0010.tga             But its going to be in an SFS file

[SAS~Malone]

d'you know which sfs file?
perhaps i could just swop it out with one from another install.......

[BravoFxTrt]

No i dont know which one I extracted it from.

I'm thinking but I got no better idea at the moment, what I posted should work.
The confusing part is that it only happens in DBW-1916.

[SAS~Malone]

indeed, it's got me totally at a loss.....
how many 1916 specific sfs files are there? i'm only aware of the Aircrafts one....

Istvan, if it is just the one texture, i can live with it, just use other moon textures/different dates for my missions.
might be easier than us all scratching our heads too long over this...

Hey make a search in your main DBW root folder for SunMoon

I found it activated through   C:\#DBW\!SAS_Engine_Mod_4101m_v26\-MAPS\WWI_Somme  WWI_W_load.ini

[BravoFxTrt]

This map uses that .tga     WWI_Somme\WWI_W_load.ini


[APPENDIX]
  HighClouds  = GW_Clouds256-02.tga              ;Clouds256.tga
  HighCloudsNoise  = GW_CloudsNoise02.tga        ;CloudsNoise.tga
  Moon = SunMoon\Moon\Moon0010.tga
//  CloudsMap  = CloudMap4x4km.tga

[SAS~Malone]

that might be it, buddy...
that happens to be the very map i was flying when i first discovered this.
i mentioned i tried using different dates for the mission, as this is supposed to load different moon phase textures, and kept getting the same square texture.
i flew another map, and the moon was fine.
so, i think you've found it - that load entry is obviously over-riding any changes i try to make.
will report back soon, most likely with a solved check!

Roger that.
