Adding scenery ?

[hsvfan]

Hi all
How to you add scenery in 2004.  In 2002 in the tool bar under world there was add scenery. I can't seem to find that option in the world tool bar in 2004.

Cheers

Always a good thing to look at the Help section/Grumpy's Lair at this site.

I'll take you directly to the page in Gumpy's Lair

there must be a simple way

tried saving a flight - unchecking the add on in library - and going back to the spot

Unlike FS2002, with FS2004, you must exit the sim and restart for any scenery changes to take effect.

thanx dave - im doing that - but will the scenery change if you go back to a saved flight - or will the saved flight always show the old scenery - even after you added on and restarted

give me a link to an ad on that is really different to the generic -

thanx

It should load up with the new scenery. When FS does a save, it only saves flight parameters, not everything on the screen, so, when the save tells it to load the particular coordinates you were at, it'll load up the scenery for that area straight, so it'll load the new scenery.

ok - thats what i thought - then youd agree -  if i add  new scenery -  save a flight -  and a snap shot of  the screen - then deactivate the new scenery in library - and go back to that saved flight - i should  see the origonal generic

otherwise you wasted your time downloading it



maybe some ad ons are just slight enhancements of microsofts generic - so its not so easy to see the difference

or am i missing something

Depending on the type of scenery the difference should be noticeable. Which scenery is this? If you tell me the file name & the exact page it's posted on maybe I can check it out for you.

PS. I'm on dial-up so no huge downloads please.

Them days are over for me...trusty old tiscali broadband!...at a nice affordibly price!

Of course dial up is grand if you are not doing any major downloading

Which I don't these days.

Can't remember the last time I fired up FS9 come to that.

[Jimbo]

I rarely on on FS9 either, i prefere it on here, as you can guess  8)

Mind you, the prices that people are paying for pay as you go internet, are like

thanx hagar - id like to prove that im still sane - ill look for the links that are bugging me

whats broadband

i just replaced my gateway 133 - now i get scenery

[ibhayirob]

morning hagar

just thinking maybe i shouldnt criticise anyones scenery in public - especially seeing im so knew to this

how about i send you the links in question in a private message -

instant message or email - which  is better

[Hagar]

Whichever you prefer. PM is fine. I only need to know the file name & page number so I can download it. The page it's posted on please, not a direct link to the file.
