Loading addon scenery

Postby gzerovti » Fri Oct 26, 2007 4:53 am

Yesterday I downloaded a zip file of add on scenery for Madeira island.
The read me file said to unzip the two files "scenery" and "texture" and put all the extracted files into c:/program files/microsoft fs/addon scenery. I did this, but then when I opened FSX and went into "Settings", "Scenery" and selected "add scenery", the files I had just put into the addon scenery were not showing?
I have noticed that in another addon that I tried i.e. Jersey Island, the extracted files were all inside their own folder called "Jersey" When you select add scenery in FSX then this file is there!
All the extracted files for the Madeira scenery and texture are just individual files in c:/program files/microsoft fs/addon scenery, no file called "Madeira"?
I hope I have explained myself correctly.
Basically, my first two attempts at adding scenery was sucessful because after extracting into addon scenery they were then contained within their own named files. The Madeira addon was not!
How do I get the Madeira addon into its own named file?

Thanks

Hi Terry. Create a folder named Madeira with two subfolders named Scenery & Texture. Paste the BGL files from Scenery.zip into the Scenery subfolder & the contents of Texture.zip into the Texture subfolder. Then paste the complete Madeira folder into FSX\Addon Scenery & activate it via the Scenery Library.

The principle is exactly the same as for previous versions of FS. See my FS2004 Scenery Clinic from the link to Grumpy's Lair in my sig.

Hagar,

Thanks very much for your reply.
It is obvious really when you think about it.

Anyway, thanks a lot.
