no downloads

[luke]

Hi,
recently utils/planes will not download, & get this advert.

also none of the help suggestions in it work.

I tried without capitals on, firewall off etc with no success.

Any help?

[Hagar]

That looks perfectly normal. What happens when you click on the Download this file now! link?

[luke]

Thanx Hagar,

tried it & after a longish wait a small window said sign up as a guest for something?, so I did it & then got the download.

Actually wanted to redownload AutosaveFSX as it did not seem to work flowlesly as per fs9.

It seems that the 5, 10 are minutes not seconds.

It works better now.                     ..................luke

Something odd there Luke. That is the direct link to the file. There's no need to sign up for anything to download files from the free site.

[luke]

well it's done now & downloaded OK.      ......luke

I was just wondering what you signed up for. Did you give any personal information?

[luke]

NO, I gave my spare online email address in the Guest option.

NOW need another help, I downloadedthe 2 parts " FSX FSX World Wide SRTM 38M Mesh Europe Part 1." & 2 & the raed.me file says:

"....Install bgl files in any activate scenery folder - and make
sure they are higher than default scenery files in scenery
library....."

but I cannot understand what it means.

Went in FSX Settings Scenery Library, to add them but cannot find out how. In foto I added an area EURO but seems empty

Any help?

[Hagar]

OK. I still can't figure it out but I assume you've had no problems with downloading files since.

I would install the mesh like any other 3rd party scenery. The basic principle is described in my FS2002 Scenery Clinic. http://www.simviation.com/lair/fs2002sc.htm

Ignore the last section on Afcads. Note that mesh scenery won't usually need a Texture folder as it uses the default textures. Once it's activated from the Scenery Library you can arrange it above the default scenery. That won't be necessary if this is the first scenery you've installed to FSX as it will automatically be at the top of the list.

thanx,

seems a bit different in fsx, where even in its help file is not very clear to me.   ........luke

Thanx again Hagar,

Similar to what I did, but I see no diference in the scenery when flying.

How did you get the "Grand Deton" above the "Addon Scenery" in the Library, mine only shows as No1 "Addon Scenery".

Maybe that's where I go wrong

Textures are mentioned, but as you can see in foto the 2 parts Simviation downloads only have four .bgl files.

That looks fine to me. When activating the scenery from the FSX Scenery Library just click on the Europe Global folder to select it, don't open it as in your shot.

PS. Wait a minute. It looks like you haven't got a Scenery sub-folder in the Europe Global folder. Try creating one & drag those BGL files into it.
