Well,things are running 100% in the failure direction. Having downloaded 20! of the so called static add ons from the links provided to me,NOT ONE would shpw up on my airport. NONE. I set my sliders to max in the sim display settings,...nothing. I went to ADE9 and set the new static item in every setting,from Normal to extreme and still nothing. I have used ADE9 flawlessly in the past and see no reason why these add ons shouldnt work,unless FSX statics dont display on FS9,...not to mention that there are those add ons that were simply more Add-On Scenery folders,with the scenery folder AND texture folder. This again,adds frame rate hits far beyond what a simple bgl file add on would create. AND,..I have the program RWY12,but havent the foggiest idea how to use it. I can use ADE9 and AFCAD with no problem,but RWY12 and the several others out there for airport editing...cant seem to get them to work,or else I dont understand their massive instructions. Thanks anyway for the offers to help,but nothing worked,so it seems I'll be stealing statics from other sceneries. But thats how it goes. /// BTW... I SHOULD get promoted to 1st Lt simply for dealing with the minimals FS9 provides us.
