September 11, 200619 yr HEY GUYS UH... I'M PLANNING A TRIP FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO HAWAII AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY COULD HELP ME WITH THIS. FIRST I GOTTA GET THE SCENERY FOR HAWAII. SOMETHING GOES WRONG WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD IT. IT SAYS IT DOESN'T KNOW WAT PROGRAM TO RUN IT UNDER. SO IF SOMEBODY COULD HELP ME OUT IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WANNA TAKE-OFF EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND I'M GUESSING I'LL ARRIVE THERE AT LIKE 1 IF I LEAVE AT 8 OR SOMETHIN. PLEASE HELP ME
September 12, 200619 yr First of all, there's no need to type in all caps, and I think it's a bit annoying. Anyway, when you download the scenery, save it to FlightGear/data/scenery. Then extract it to that same path (if you don't have anything that can etract .tgz archives then go to 7-zip.org and get 7-zip). Now (assuming you're using fgrun), when you come to the "select a location" screen, click refresh and you should be able to select and airport in Hawaii.
September 12, 200619 yr Sorry about the caps but i can't get to the part where i can extract it. it says that it doesn't know wat program to run it under and i can't find the zip thing i have it cuz i get aircraft its just somethins messed up with my computer or sumthin!!
September 13, 200619 yr Winzip, or whatever Windows ships with, can't deal with .tgz files. So you should go to www.7-zip.org, and download and install 7-zip. Then you can extract the scenery.
