Could someone tell me if Scenerytech's landclass Africa and Aerosoft's Kilimanjaro will work together? And if I need to get to do anything to make them work? Order and such. Thanks ahead!

I do not have any of the scenery you mention here but I might be able to clear this up for you.
when it comes to scenery there are a couple of things you need to be aware of.
Usually the first thing a scenery designer will do is to clear an area for the scenery they are about to create I will not go into the details of this as it can be lengthy.
So the first thing you need to know in this case is do the two scenery areas over lap each other in any way if so than you have to figure out the correct order in which to display them.
If you are not aware FS displays scenery in a certain order which is determined by the Scenery CFG file. In some cases you have to make sure that one scenery is displayed before another or strange things will pop up
While it is obvious here that the two scenery's are in the same continent That does not mean they are in the same place. Correct me if I am wrong but I think that Kilmanjaro is a mountain so in this case you need to make sure that the landclass is displayed first than the Moutain. The easiest way to do this is to add the mountain first than the landclass. I know that this may sound strange but FS will put any new scenery added at the top of the list and by doing it this way the land class will be first than the mountain second.
Now if you have all ready added the land class once you add the mountain you will have to edit your Scenery cfg file to make sure that the mountain is displayed after the land class. The easiest way to make sure of this is to put it on the bottom of the list.
I hope this clears it up for you.

It does very nicely. Thanks. They seem to be getting along fine except for some smaller airfields at the edge of the scenery. They are either on plateaus or sunken. However away from the scenery all is well. However the landclass is not at fault because if I remove the landclass same thing. Must be a Mt. Kilimanjaro thing. Thanksagain!
