Download Mars textures from the above link instead,as I have had to move them from my FTP to make room for my 64k Virtual Earth texture (very big 1.6G).To download from FTP site just right click on folder or file and copy to your hard drive.Cheers Jestr

I did exactly like you said.Look to my redmars.ssc(download from Mars folder)
AltSurface "RedMarsVT" "Sol/Mars"
{Texture "RedMars.ctx"
#BumpMap "Redmars-Normal-8k.dds"
#BumpHeight 2.5
#Color [1 0.75 0.7 ]
#SpecularColor [ 0.5 0.5 0.55 ]
#SpecularPower 25.0
HazeColor [ 1 1 1 ]
HazeDensity 0.45
Radius 3394
Oblateness 0.006
}
And the alternate texture VT is still a bland one.
I put mars.ctx and red mars.ctx in Sol Mars folder.
Then,I proceed like this :
Extras>Addons>Sol Mars>Textures>med res>Level 0,1,2,3

Could the problem that I had to copy the files and not the folders?

Daniel,I dont bother using 'Alternate texture' for my virtual textures.All I change is the 'Texture' line in 'solarsys.ssc' to read 'Texture "RedMars.ctx"'and then put both the 'RedMars' folder containing all the different levels,and the 'RedMars.ctx' text file in the usual 'hires' folder-just a suggestion.Good luck Jestr

Hello,

That's what I did. It loads really fast. Try it. It's all in levels - not one big picture.
Thank you,
