photo scenery

Postby George7 » Fri May 29, 2009 10:18 pm

I cannot get any photo scenery - even the default scenery - to work.

It shows up OK in my active scenery lists.

How are you installing it?

What do you mean when you say you can't get the stock scenery to work?

In the Scenery Library "Prop Objects, Vehicle, Generic, & Addon Scenery" are Prioity 1, 2, 3 & 4, St.Pete photo and Tampa photo are 5 & 6 followed by a long list of generic photo cities. 1 through 6 are enabled.

The St. Pete photo and Tampa photo files are in fs9\Addon Scenery and KSPG and KTPA are in fs9\Addon Scenery\Scenery.

..as was mentioned above...

You are going to have a bit of a problem if none of your Default Scenery is being displayed after start-up!... :o...!

That should be working, if nothing else!

For add-on Scenery, etc....the many Sim V Tutorials...>>>

Do you see anything at all when you fly over these areas?

If you see terrain below you then that is indeed the scenery listed in the addon scenery directory.

Microsoft's use of the term 'photo' with it's stock scenery is a little exaggerated.

Thanks, but I don't think we're getting there. The St. Pete and Tampa photoreal files are installed in the same manner as the default scenery photoreal files. I have rechecked the two files and they are in fact contain extreme photo details.

are your display sliders set high enough (maxed out) to allow those sceneries to show the detail? Some sceneries are set at either Dense, or Extremely Dense instead of NORMAL.

What's happening? Is it not loading properly or not at all?

Doing somewhat better; but room for improvement. It's probably just me!
