Hi all..

I just downloaded MoCat's Caribbean
Let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and
an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight.

hello...while you are at the scenery library click the "add area" button...that will bring up another menu, double click on the "addon scenery" folder then click on the scenery name that you wish to add...making sure that it is highlighted then click the ok button...then you can move it up or down in the priority the you would like it to be. hope this helps

Hi all..

I just downloaded MoCat's Caribbean  Tours Scenery and used the installer provided. The data
appears to be in the correct locations in the MS FSX directories but does not show in-game.
I went to the Scenery Library but they do not show there either. How do you activate new scenery?

-SNIP-


From that picture it appears that the auto-installer placed all the
actual folders that need to be 'activated' one level further down
from where FSX looks for folders with a 'scenery' sub-folder.

What I would do is simply MOVE that entire folder structure OUT of
the "Addon Scenery" folder and then point FSX at the new locations
for EACH of the included sub-folders. You could also just leave them
where they are at and, again, point FSX to EACH included folder
under the "Caribbean Sea Planes" folder...i.e.. Coco Beach, Disney,
Havana, etc.....

FSX is looking at the "Caribbean Sea Planes" folder but since it doesn't
contain a sub-folder named 'sceney' it is ignored.
