I have never been to Israel but generally accept that the default scenery used in FS 9 is realistic.I wanted to make it moreso. So I downloaded the Israel Land Class, eud-med and tel aviv metropolitan files as suggested.Whenever I put the Metro Tel-aviv file into the scenery, it makes all the buildings downtown dissappear but brings the car lights on the roadways to life (which looks awesome!)But is there anyway to keep those default downtown buildings still there? Or do they not belong?I wantto bring the city to life without taking away from it. The same holds true for NY, Miami and LA. Any ideas as to what I can do or what I am doing wrong?thanks for your time.

I'm only guessing, but if there is no flaw in the add on scenery software, this may have something to do with the level of scenery placvement. I am not sure, in your case, whether the scenery needs to be above or below the particular urban setting. I guess what I am saying is for you to experiment with scenery layering.Sherm

well, actually the autogen "downtown" as represented in the default scenery (I guess you were refering to that) IS misplaced some 15 miles to the south where the town of Bat-yam should be (a smaller sattelite outskirt).you can find some scenery objects (including the Meyer tower - a useful vfr reference to Rwy 12 LL- outer marker) over at http://simdata.sourceforge.net/vatil/ Note though, that some of this scenery may tax your frames.//Mike
