When did this start? Right after you installed it or after you installed something else?

Firstly make sure you have the textures in the right places, everything should have extracted to the right places to start with, so I'm thinking that from all the problems you've been having your winzip isn't setup right. Make sure that the "Use Folder Names" is ticked in the extract menu, and that you have extracted to the right folder as specified in the readme and everything should be created. Don't forget to back up your missioneditor.ppf, but I think I said that in the readme, you will need to edit that file yourself adding the new terrain. But as I said, make sure it's extracted as per installation notes and that you are using folder names, it should install exactly as you need it.

Vahnatai, I'm sorry but I'm truely lost as to why you've got these problems, I've never seen them with anyone else and really can't say whats going on, my only siggestion is to extract the terrain to a temp directory and then check that against your installation, the zip is designed to put everything where it should be, the only thing that would possibly need changing is the missionedtor.ppf so that all your terrains get listed, but other than that all the airfields, towns, textures, terrain etc should all be in the right place and the terrain should work, so maybe doing what I said above you might find the problem, but withough actually seeing how it's installed I really don't know how to help

from everything you've said it really sounds like your terrain textures are in the wrong place.. I know you've probably tried everything, but this can only happen if the terrain was installed wrongly, not maning to sound bad or anything, but there's only been 2 people had trouble with this terrain and I honestly know the zipfile installation is correct cause I had to use it myself after re-installing SDOE, so, check you're installation by extracting the terrain to a temporary folder and make sure everything in the temp folder is in exactly the same place in SDOE.

I shall soon be installing the terrain again myself becuase either one of the new terrains or the planepacks has fried my towns and airfields in Snowy Dover, but I do still get the textures.
