Fly to the Olympics

[vololiberista]

Hi All,
This is my first posting in this forum so a big thanks to all those from whom I have gleaned ideas. I have seen some very helpful hints and tips, thanks!

I have been a pilot since 1987 and frankly have not been very impressed with M$ flight simulations until FS2004.  The scenery is actually better in FlyII than in FS2004 as is also the route planning.  Despite many attempts pushback turning left or right still only works for me intermittently.  As for ATC thats much better than before but they pay no attention at all to actual SIDS and STARS!! Also spotting the taxiway to turn off whilst thundering down the runway with full reverse thrust is something of a lottery! However,  in other respects I am content especially as I am able to fly my favourite aeroplane the

I had the same idea as you, and am doing a tour of italy and my first stop happened to casselle. It then dawned on me that that was torino. The alps are great fun to fly over although the default scenery could be improved.

The Alps LOD10 terrain mesh by Holger Sandmann is a great scenery improvement.

There's also a minor update for the mesh on page 77.

Thanks for the invitation, Vololiberista and the link to some intersting Italian addons. I've been flying into Torino, LIMF, from all quadraants for the past week. We even took a HC412 helo up Monte Sises after visiting Sestriere and moving into France at Talard.

Thanks again for your cheery post and file links.

Thank for drawing this to my attention; I didn't even notice  ;D

Copy&Paste any Italian copy (text) into BableFish.com and it reads pretty good. It's all redundant as the d/l come with EXE Installers so all one has to do is double-click it. Remember to ADD the scenery from the Scenery Library in FS9

Thanks again to Vololiberista, et al.

I found what i was looking for and i ran the setup.exe fine and i can find the files in the addon scenery folder. when i fly there though nothing has changed. anyone have any ideas. I am guessing that this could be caused by limited user status on win xp but that is a guess.

Hi  FSNovice

I had some trouble at first too. The way to do it is as follows-
activate  add-on scenery
then from within the add on folder activate Caselle
then move caselle higher up the list eg

1. Caselle
2. Add-On
3. Everything else

If you don't do this you will either get the proper terminal buildings with M$ taxiways or the caselle taxiways with the M$ terminals.

Hope to see you in time for the closing ceremony lol!!

I think there is a problem with my user status on win xp so i need an admin on my pc to sort it out. Thanks for your advice.

[FsNovice]

Right, I have tried running the program under a admin account and this says building database thingy on startup but then in the scenery folder i still cant find casselle. Anyone know how i can install this airport update now.

[vololiberista]

Hi FSNovice
OK, the best thing is to do an uninstall as follows:-
In the main Flight Simulator 9 folder you should find a file called Uninstal_Caselle.exe
Run this then run FS9 and delete any reference to Caselle in the Scenery library.
Close FS9 and reopen so that it builds a new database
Close it again
Reinstall Caselle airport
Open FS9 and in the scenery library click on add area
If the folder addon scenery is not in your library then add it
Then click on add area again
Open the addon scenery folder and within is Caselle
Add this too
Then move Caselle above the addon scenery in your library
All should then be well

I think the problem is my mistake. before only a program ran but now a .zip folder is downloading so let's see if that works. Thanks for the advice so far.

[FsNovice]

no that didnt work. all that was in that folder was a .avi file.

[vololiberista]

Hi
The file you are looking for is called
Caselle2004.exe
This installs into the addon directory.
In bocca al lupo (Good luck)
