Dear Hagar,I printed out your tute on instaling FS2k scenery in cfs2 and followed the guidelines as closely as possible as I am trying to use FS2K2 scenery.All the areas and airports show up properly on the list,but when I go to use one I get the dreaded "fail to initilize-corrupt file message,then crash to desktop.What might I be doing wrong.?Ive gone through the procedure several times now including two uninstall/re-installs with no results Im about to drop kick this computer into next week . HELP! >:(

Hi Phil. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding. My tute is named "Activating FS2000 default scenery in CFS2". Here's your original question which I checked very carefully before answering.

Is it possible to import the scenery from fs2k for use in cfs2?

I would not expect FS2002 default files to be compatible with CFS2.

I came to that conclusion the hard way.Im just trying to combine the best of both worlds,thats all. mabey Ill try to find a copy of FS2k (rather old now) just to get the scenery-unless you know of a global scenery/airport pack available online that will work? Thanks for your help,Hagar.

Hi Phil. I guess you learned the hard way. It might be possible to pick up FS2000 at a bargain price now. I think that might be your best option. There are updates covering various separate scenery areas like Steve McClelland's excellent CFSII Europe series. I don't know of a global scenery addon for CFS2, especially anything including the mainland US. You could try Stephen Rothlisberger's USA Terrain Mesh which was originally designed for FS2000 & should work in CFS2.

I suggest you try a small area first to confirm it. This is mesh only & will not include airports.
