March 13, 201016 yr Hi allAlthough I have previously loaded and enjoyed UT Europe for FS 2004 for some years, since the return of my PC from a repair shop for a replacement motherboard I have had increasing problems loading and keeping the programme in place.I can see it in the "Scenery" folder of FS9 and have even tried loading it file by file onto the scenery library, where I then see it seemingly installed along with all the default files. I get a message telling me that the programme has to be run (take a flight)and then shut down before the programme runs and I see the results. The trouble is that when I load FS9 again it is not in the scenery library. I have ried evrything - even uninstalling FS9 just in case I had a bad install. Can anyone help me with this problem.One last thing; when I got the PC back from the repair shop it was very unstable and the fan was often spinning like hell and I was getting premature shutdowns! I took a look under the heatsink and felt that the repairer had not cleaned and replaced the TIM so I did it to be safe. Since then the machine has behaved but I am thinking could the problem of instability coaused a Vista problem - like corrupting the dynamically linked library - ie do I need to re-install Vista?FS9 is just not the same without UT and GE.Any help?flapless
March 13, 201016 yr I had similar problems as you had. I was manually cleaning up the scenery.cfg file, but every time I then ran FS9, bam! All my corrections and fixes were gone. I finally found a file called "scenerystatus.DAT". I removed it, and afterwards all my self-made fixes did not disappear. You might want to try it out. In that case, get rid of the scenerystatus.dat file (don't throw it out! Simply move it out of the FS9 folder. That's in case something goes hideously wrong. When you see that all is okay, feel free to trash it. FS9 will have made a new one after you have started it up, containing all the differences that the program made to the scenery.cfg file. because that's what it does: it keeps track of the scenery status), open the scenery.cfg file, and manually insert all the relevant paths to the scenery.cfg. everything should be there, and it should not disappear anymore.Assuming you installed UT:E into the FS9 folder like I did, here are the relevant entries:[Area.039]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe 1Layer=39Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEUR1Remote=[Area.040]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe 2Layer=40Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEUR2Remote=[Area.041]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe 3Layer=41Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEUR3Remote=[Area.042]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe 4Layer=42Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEUR4Remote=[Area.043]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe 5Layer=43Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEUR5Remote=[Area.044]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe 6Layer=44Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEUR6Remote=[Area.045]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Europe LightsLayer=45Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEURLTRemote=[Area.046]Title=Ultimate Terrain - Ind/Comm LandclassLayer=46Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SCENERY\UTEURLCRemote=Please note that you actually have to add these in the place the [Aerea.x] line suggests: meaning, right after the default stuff. So basically, you will have to put these entries above the default stuff, and then all other scenery comes. You might want to check each one of these entries and manually edit the Area.x and Layer=y lines. It's a lot of work, yes, but afterwards you'll have a nice and clean scenery.cfg file.
