Download of scenery

Postby Andy_Dyer » Wed Mar 19, 2003 2:06 pm

Thanks to OZZY72,I have successfully downloaded and can run new aircraft,CH47 helicopter and 757 British airways on my FS2002,
But I have downloaded Tenerife and Lanzarote airports but can't get them to work,
Do I just open the 2002 program file and drag in the new temporary file into the scenery file on 2002?
Can anyone please help...it worked last time.....

Not sure if this is gonna help but heres what i do...

1. create a new folder for EVERY download and name it accordingly... ie: if i downloaded Tenerife then i would name the new folder Tenerife.

2. Unzip the downloaded Tenerife.zip to the new folder... this way i dont get hundreds of files from dozens of downloads in 1 folder... they all have their own named folder.

3. Look for any 'read-me' that is contained in all downloads and gives instructions on how/where to install.

4. Install the new download by following the read-me.

5. Have fun :)

Dunno if that helps at all.

Andy, glad to help.
Right the scenery thing. IGNORE the readme instructions is my advice. Everyone has their own pet place to put them.
Unzip the file into a temp. folder.
Now open the FS2002\ADDON SCENERY folder.
Make sure the file is something like Crete\TEXTURES and SCENERY. Drag it into the ADDON SCENERY folder.
Now start up FS2k2.
Go to settings, then scenery library. Now add scenery. It'll bring up a pane, on that click on the ADDON SCENERY folder, then on the folder Crete, and click OK. When you have finished adding the relevant files, then click on OK in the bottom right of the scenery library page, and off you fly.

Ozzy ;)
