Scenery Library priority....

[gypsymoth]

I'd be very grateful if someone could point me toward a topic that appeared not long ago about the importance of priority in the Scenery Library.  My searches can't find it 
Thanks.

The funny thing is.....

I've read these "Library Priority List" recommendations before....

...and to tell you the troof...

.....my Library insertions are dotted at random, all over the place, and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the loading/running of my FS 2004..... ...!

Each new addition is automatically popped on TOP of the list, and I tend to leave them there without any observable problems.

..but it would be nice for a knowledgeable, definitive explanation of the correct method, from top to bottom of the list... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...FS Nav...on the "Wanted" List... 8-)...!

I've asked for the very same thing, at multiple places...
and get different answers each time.

Even some addons I install, show different ways that it should look.

I don't think anyone really knows how it's supposed to be,
and at this point,
wouldn't know whether to believe them or not,
unless they had been a part of the design team for FS9

There was an answer to this question I asked some time ago,
but I can't find it now.

...there is also some confusion as to what "top" of the list means?

The lowest number at the top of the list, or the highest number at the bottom of the list?

Paul...listing slightly to the starboard side... ...!

I get this same issue with my MAIW aircraft.

It took me quite awhile to come to grips with the FS meaning of "priority".

I think a better term would be "precidence" - because when FS loads, it starts with the default (required) items which have the highest priority numbers as seen in the Scenery Library dialogue.

It then works it way up to whatever is sitting at Priority number 1 - and anything which sits higher than the default items will take precidence over what has been loaded before it.

This is easily proven by having an "exclude" for a scenery at a lower number than the scenery itself. It will exclude any objects in the area of the exclude which the author of the scenery has added.

I did that but got nothing!!  Thanks but there's another post because I remember Paul saying he found the answers interesting......
Thanks for the texture info - this problem has just started & I've had these aircraft a long time & not seen this glitch before.  :-?

I just did my priorities last month.. I start with EZ Scenary Rwy 12, ect, then I add any land craft scenery, then land meshes, after that any individual scenery you want to add. I have found that you go from far out to close up. Some times you have to rearrange to make things right, but for the most part going far out to close in is the best way.  I keep all my scenery in a file called current scenery. The only things that I keep in add on scenery is AFCAD things like jetways & currant airport upgrades. It has worked for me & made add on scenery a simple project...If you would like more info send me a message. I'm on every day.

I see you've found what you were looking for.

This is the only other one that I can find that has you & Paul in it:

And the most important thing to remember with ANY FS, is that a problem can start any time it wishes, even after having run problem free for years.
