LAGO install: WRONG instructions!!

My fuss today is because I am installing the Beer Creek scenario. I like it, although in my other Lap where I installed it, some fences are floating in the background. To avoid this void between ground and fences I decided to install the LAGO software, now ex-payware:

After downloading & unziping, I opened the instruct file...

...just to find out THERE iS NO LAGO FOLDER!! Nilch!! Niet!! Niente!! The closest I could find is this one:

Maybe -just maybe- I have to rename the LAGO FSE erasing the ofending FSE letters, but I better consult this fórum BEFORE changing anything to a software that is going into my registry keys to work as intended (I do not want to mess up my new Lap registry if something is wrong or corrupt with this file). The rest of instructions is fairly "simple" (Já!! thats a good one) & clear. If so, please add such RENAME thing into the description page, were it says LAGOSiM has vanished from our Cosmos & Virtuality to become expat ware.

Gracias for your patience, Jean <<q

I believe LAGO went out of business some years ago. No point in blaming them.

...just fired up my trusty copy of FS 2004, and my registered copy of LAGO FSE, and the LAGO scenery objects and LAGO editor all work fine in my Windows 8.1, 64-bit system!

(I also still have my original copy of LAGO FSSE tucked away somewhere!)

Its amazing just how well FS 2004 still runs!

Its always worth a try now and again!... :dance: ...!

Paul...FS 2002+FS 2004+FSX... :mrgreen: ...!

Two of my favourite, general, all-purpose aircraft for all my Flight Sim explorations:....

My Bensen B-8 Gyrocopter/Gyroplane.
My Cessna 150 Aerobat. (With its Rolls-Royce engine!).

Low and slow....

Rarely in a hurry... ;) ....

:think: :think: :think: RADiCAL OPiNiON CHANGE: LAGO may be, just may be OK (I do not have any other scenarios using LAGO to find out). And Beer Creek scenarios is O.K, too (2) BUT NOT FOR 64 bits OS. I have the Beer Creek on my other Lap with Vista 32 bits OS, I will try to install my LAGO download (changing file names) and see if that solves the floating fences near the ocean (or is it a lake?).
