General Question L14 Earth Textures with Orulex

[Interstellar Planet]

I just downloaded Orulex. It works great, but I noticed that the global L14 Earth textures from http://orbitersimulator.com/orbiter-2010-downloads/ do not show when Orulex is activated. Is there any way to get Orulex to render terrain on surface tiles in .tex format? Thanks.

I think that Orulex only load the lower resolution textures from the Textures folder. The higher resolution versions are located in Textures2.
If you move the higher res versions over to Textures i believe that Orulex will load them. But you may mess up your Orbiter install in the process...

Anyway, Orulex will not load surface tiles. For that you would need to convert the tiles to BMP and edit Orulex config files for each planet to ad them by coordinates.

Actually, for the SURFTILEs you just need to add them to BEGIN_SURFTILELIST list in the planet's Orulex config.
And it is aware of Textures2 directory.

As for textures above Lv11 - if memory serves, that was added to Orbiter well past Orulex's best by date.

Wait, so .tex files can be added to the BEGIN_SURFTILELIST list too? The OrbiterConfig pdf only mentions dds files.
