Sounds great, thanks for the HU. KSEA is a tough area fps wise, so I'm looking forward to some reports from you guys. Can it handle the extra addon airport or should it stay with the reduced Orbx one? A big thumbsup for the efforts of those freeware authors by the way.

Sandy Bridge has changed all that for me. It's a magical transformation.

MSFS

I installed it with the FSX patch per the instructions. Looks good, my only issue is the satellite imagery at the airport, I can look past the photoreal runways instead of FSX textures, but the flat photo planes at the gates kind of ruins it for me, anyway to get rid of the satellite overlay? Thanks!!

Thanks very much for this pointer, DJ! This is a very worthwhile project - and so is San Diego. Boy, do I miss these Fly Tampa guys! Absolute Masters of the art.

Delete the largest file that comes in the download. That is the photoscenery bgl. Can't remember what we named it atm.

Had to get rid of DX10 - back to 9.. as all buildings are MS-logo'd blue.. sad.png .. Ran it through AddonConverter, changed Inspector settings to old 'normal', but all building are black. Tried to access the forums and hour ago, but still waiting for email to login to ask about it.. so I'm in the process of re-doing DX10 - which gives a super boost to an already boosted FSX. May reinstall again tomorrow, but without AddonConverter's input - I expect that one caused the black buildings... hmmph.. Nothing's easy. Waiting.gif

I can't give any support to DX10. You have to remember that the FT buildings were built with FS9 in mind. They will not run in DX10. If you rerun anything through AddonConverter, be careful that you don't redistribute any files that are or were property of FlyTampa.

Thanks, Anthony, no problem re FX10, though I don't distribute files, period. As I said - I think AddonCoverter borked the files, so that in going back to DX9 - they were now incompatible. I glanced at PDX, too, and if these both work acceptably I might just drop back to DX9 altogether.

I thought I folllowed the instructions correctly, but all terminals, concourses, jetways, and lines leading into jetway parking positions are black. I did not see anything about copying over the FlyTampa textures. **Okay, I copied over the textures and all is good. Did I miss that in the installation instructions (or is it assumed that evryonr knows that needs to be done)?**

Thanks Anthony, and BTW, your Green Bay X is one of the best freeware sceneries, easily payware quality, thank you again for your work.

Installed the patch, all looks good except for elevation when I activate Orex PNW. Then I get holes and cliffs around airport. Even though I remove the FTX elavation bgl from scenery folder. Any suggestions?

Make sure ADE_FTX_PNW_KSEA_Seattle-Tacoma_Intl_CVX.bgl is turned on (not labeled .off and/or present in the ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_NA_PNW05_SCENERY\scenery folder).

By the way have you tried the Orbx and flightzone scenery. For some reason I'm having elavation issues there too. Some areas are fine while ai seems to float while other areas look sunken.Thanks again for your help
