Installation Earth Texture addon doesn't seem to be working?

[VincentMcConnell]

I downloaded a better res Earth texture from OrbiterHangar.com and tried to unzip it into my orbiter folder. Then I ran a scenario from AMSO when I was already in Earth orbit and the planet doesn't look any different...

Here is what I did...

I downloaded that addon. Then went to "open containing folder" on my downloads list. Right clicked on the zip and put "extract files" then selected the folder "Orbiter 2010 New" on my desktop. I booted up Orbiter, went to Apollo 9 scenario and the Earth didn't look any different. What am I doing wrong?

Is your "Orbiter 2010 New" folder the main Orbiter folder ?

Yeah. I actually found the problem. I tried extracting the texture files to the texture folder in my orbiter directory and it worked. Now I'm downloading some more texture packs.

With my download speed this will take forever to download. it will be worth it, though.

I just gave it another try at downloading. 1 hour and 33 minutes to go on the Earth one.

Almost done with the download. I've been on the web so it's slowed down.
