>well,if San Fransisco works, how exactly did you come up with the >conclusion that the San Fransisco scenery "module" is causing you >any problems?Did you read it??? I said that if you start in San Fran and go to other tiles, the other tiles are Water!!!!! If you start in other tiles and go to the San Fran tiles, the San Fran tile is water!!!! It says that you clown!!! READ IT PROPERLY!!!Also its the only module/tile that is in a separate directory.>most likely you simply haven't installed the scenery tiles properlyWHAT!!! If I didn't install them properylu, how could I see them!!! If you keep reading it says that I used the Install /Uninstall app that came with flight gear to install the tiles. SO OF COURSE I INSTALLED IT PROPERLY!!!If you can't help, don't pretend that you can. Stop writing insulting and derogetory message to this group

Stalled,you are really "stalled", mentally.H.Fitz spends a lot of his sparetime to help people here and tries to solve *their* problems. He is a real specialist for FlightGear.It is obvious you don't understand anything. Therefore my proposal for you is:Stop posting here. Delete FG from your HD. Use a commercial flightsim. Be happy.Georg
