Support Seth Eden's High- Res Earth Textures

[myles]

It comes in a zipped file, and in a Textures2 folder... so I extract them into my textures2 folder and I keep getting error, so I tried putting them all in the Textures folder, backing everything up beforehand, and I still get an error. Does anyone know how to install it? I've never had these issues before...

That is because you never had a zip program that does not display directories.
The zip actually contains 3 directories and a file.
Try checking the options.

P.S.: Why would anyone ever have this as the default behaviour?

I'm using WinRar, and I did look through the options and couldn't find anything. Why would it only show one folder? I did download it through the torrent, but that wouldn't make a difference would it?

The ones from your last screenshot are hi-res Earth textures for Orbiter beta, and they won't work in Orbiter 2006, if that's the case.

Torrent is a method of distrubiting files, it will not make any changes to the content of those files. It wouldn't be a good distribution method if it did!

Well there's my problem!

So if I just download the Earth ones here:

http://stableit.org/torrent/orbitersimlandsat/

It'll be working?

They will work in 2006 (and also beta).

Running beautifully! Well, except when I zoom out, it reverts to the original textures. I looked through the earth.cfg for a line about this, but couldn't find one. What could I change?

What could I change?

Download also L8 textures:
