add on scenery help

Postby gtirob01 » Wed May 28, 2008 9:59 pm

Ive got quite a few things to put in my add on scenery folder, which i have... yet none of it shows up in my sim. I've done it before and stuff showed up just fine.

What I would like to know is..... what is in the add on scenery folder by default? Any certain folders or files? I may just start that folder over from scratch, and was wondering if I need any files to get it back to default, or if its completely empty.
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

After copying the addon scenery folder containing the scenery and texturet folders to your addon scenery directory or wherever, you have to launch FSX, go into settings, and open up your scenery manager and add the scenery. Otherwise, the scenery isn't going to show up

I do that.... but it doesnt even show up on the list of items to add, but I go back to the actual folder, and its all there.

Some types of scenery will not appear on the selection menu. Which scenery are you trying to install? Give me an example & tell me exactly where to download it so I can check it out.

What I would like to know is..... what is in the add on scenery folder by default? Any certain folders or files?

The Addon Scenery folder contains empty Scenery & Texture subfolders. This directory is activated by default so that any BGL files placed in the Scenery subfolder will not need activating via the Scenery Library. It should not affect 3rd party scenery installed/activated in the usual way.
