Hi All I've finally taken the dive and switched to fsx for fs9 as I've just got a new higher powered machine.Anyway I'm drifing off subject I'm trying to manually add some scenery files but for some reason I can't get them to accept into the scenery menu.For example, say I want to add.... Faro as an example, I go to the sceney settings box, add area then select the airport I want to add. Click ok but nothing happens :( Usually it shows the folder path in the upper box then the folder name, the directory box goes blank.:( I've never had this problem with fs9 (I know my way around the inner workings of flight sim!!).Due to other problems I've been told about possible problems with windows 7 and the UAC which I've disabled while installing everything.......Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I should be doing?:( ThanksAdrian

There is a known "bug" in Win 7 which requires us to use a slightly different procedure to add scenery -These resources will show you how it is done:http://forums.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?t=205432And a good video:http://iblueyonder.com/video-tutorial-adding-scenery-to-fsx-in-windows-7/
