Default scenery

Postby tinpusher » Wed Jun 03, 2015 6:39 am

Hi everybody,
Lately I installed European 60's scenery from CalClassic.
Although I have tried to avoid overwriting some specific airports, I find that several have vanished or are presently appearing as a sort of tennis courts.
My question is: on which disc is the default European scenery located and how do I get access to the disc's contents?
Thanks, regards,
Ron

Much of my best FS 2004 California scenery comes from CalClassic....

...and I also use it in my FSX. Works a treat!

This is how they appear on our original four CD's; 1, 2, 3, and 4 from long ago...>>>

Lots of folk referred to the list when problems arose at the time.

Many thanks for your replies gentlemen.
I will have a look at the discs when I get home.
The issue is the default airport of Munich EDDM, which was unintentionally overwritten by the former Munich airport in the sixties.
I have no idea were to find EDDM but I suppose the search option will see me through.
JP maybe the layout has to do with a former Windows version as I presume you are using W7.
Thanks again and
regards,
Ron

The problem you are having here could have to do with how the scenery is written. For reasons I have never under stood anytime you add any kind of scenery it FS always puts it at the top of the list. In some cases this does not matter but it can in other cases.
FS reads the scenery cfg file when it creates what you see so you have to make sure it is in the correct order or strange things will happen.
This is especially true with Mesh files as these effect only a small area but what can happen is you will see strange things like part of a hanger on a runway or taxiway or a tree in some odd ball place. Usually putting mesh files at the bottom of the list will correct this kind of problem but not 100% of the time. When editing existing scenery one has to make sure that they remove all of the existing scenery in that area by using what is called a exclude line in the scenery cfg file. or a Flatten line What this does is it works like a eraser on a blackboard.
Sometimes you have to display the original scenery first than the mesh file after it. Sometimes it is the other way around. Most of your better scenery makers will have a readme file that will let you know where to put there scenery at. It is the scenery files that do not have readme files that can give you the headaches.
It usually comes down to trial and error.
if after you install scenery you start seeing odd things out of place try putting the new scenery at the bottom of the scenery cfg file just make sure that you follow the numbering sequence. Than see if that solved the problem if it makes it worse than it is time to get rid of the new scenery as whoever made it did not know what they were doing.
