Hi everybody

Would someone be able to point me to a site where I might be able to download the Novatxt2.zip file by Rafael Garcia Sanchez, please? I've just downloaded some Canary islands scenery which requires his texture files but his site, www.nova.com has shut down. I've managed to find txt1 and 3 and the gold textures but txt2 is proving a bit elusive. Many thanks

Hi Capnmullah, Also available at Simviation are the Nova 3 textures for FS2002+..it says here that the version 2 textures are replaced with this file so you might be O.K.?

"NOVA TEXTURES Release 3 for the CFS2 and FS2000/2002/2004. This file contains some textures used to design control taxing aids for scenery design, as docking systems,odometers, approach progress bars and marshaller. This file replaces all the textures used in the NovaTxt2.ZIP file By Rafael Garcia Sanchez. 170K Filename: novatxt3.zip"

Thank you gents for your quick replies. I think Simviation was where I retrieved the Novatxt3 file and I must admit that I am slightly confused where the description says that the file replaces the textures in the Novatxt2 file in the sense that some sites descriptions do say ALL the files and some don't. The confusion arises as to whether the textures in 3 replace only the same ones in 2, if you see what I mean. Also the file size of 2 sees to be a lot larger than 3. Anyway, the end result is that I have installed the textures I do have from 1 and 3 and it seems to work except for the fact that all the buildings as seen from the air and on the ground seem to be fairly colorless (white), and some other features like jetways appear to be missing which is why I think there is more to the novatxt2 file than meets the eye! Any further suggestions gratefully accepted.
