Abbey's Area 51 Scenery Add-on

[adkleaddog]

Ok, don't shoot me but:

I've added many scenery packages with no prob, I downloaded the file, unzipped and used the program to load the file that came with the file....

Usually there's a read me to assist, but not included with this. I remember that FSX and Win 7 had a special way to add the file to the scenery library. I forgot! 

There's two files, texture and scenery dated today in the add-on file in FSX..... 

How do I properly add this file (Area 51) to FSX?

Thanks in advance!

This video should help you.

THAT was it, thanks!

After what appears to have been a successful load of the scenery, I get the following upon starting FSX:

"SCENERY.CFG File error Invalid remote scenery path in area 115, click ok to continue."

I had a good few flights, but not near that area.  Everything seems to work ok, but I haven't tried to fly near the area.

Whats up?  :-?   How do I fix?

Still getting the error, after deleting the scenery file.

Any ideas?  :-?

I guessing you made sure it's unchecked in the add-on scenery add/delete scenery page.

When you installed it, you said you used the "installer that came with it"  Do you mean an auto-installer? If so, there should be an "uninstall".  If it does, and you tried that, try installing again, but take note of where the auto-installer installed your first attempt, exit the installer, and check where the installer installed it, and see if there is anything there, then manually delete anything it added.

Thanks Boikat!

I uninstalled the entire package, deleted any remaining files and reloaded...I got few messages that some of the objects were "missing".   

So far so good!

I'll try a flight and let you know how it went!

Maybe it was a result of a bad download?

Well,

The error message is gone when stating FSX...but...

I load a default 737, at AR51 and it looks good then I get a message that says something similar. There's a Seahawk that's probably supposed to be there and apparently it's not!

I looked in the addon file, I have a bunch of prior airport upgrades that work fine, and there's two new files, a texture and a scenery. There is no single file with a AR51 name or the like.   Should there be?

I'll delete once again, download and try to reinstall the scenery, unless anyone has some insight!  I'll wait a bit......

As always, thanks!

When you install it, when thw autoinstaller says it's going to install it at "where-ever", use the brows and create a folder someplace, like on your desktop, and install it to that folder, then manually install the contents of that folder like a regular add-on scenery package. That way you know everything the installation would have done which may have caused the problem in the first place.

OK! OK!

The flying will rarely get you in trouble, but the tweaking......
