Adding Scenery to FSX

[ICMC 1]

Hi all I have a problem adding scenery to FSXI downloaded the free versions (for trial) from UK2000. They say to start FSX and go to add sceneryI have done that. Once I click on add sceenerya new window opens and asks me for the path. I browse to the folder and click on the directory i say ok and then it drills down and shows me the scenery and texture folder. I pick one of them and it says no matching files foundWhat on earth am i doing wrong. This happens for all the ones I want to add on. I also got the free Prestwick one from Scotflight.Just wont work Thx in advance for answers. Ian

Yup. It's a bug in W7. FSX was never designed for W7, so i guess that's not surprising. IAN

Which is pretty interesting inasmuch as they are both Microsoft products!
