I took advantage of the LatinVFR sale and bought Costa Rica (MROC) and I need some help.

 

The exe file created folder named San Jose Costa Rica, then in that folder there are 3 folders a scenery folder a texture folder and a folder named SimMarket.

In the SimMarket folder the are 2 folders named Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica and Latin VFR San Jose TERRAIN.

 

The scenery cfg file only has one entry for Costa Rica

 

[Area.575]

Title=LatinVFR - San Jose Costa Rica

Active=TRUE

Required=FALSE

Local=C:\MSGames\FS2004\Addon Scenery\LatinVFR\San Jose Costa Rica

Layer=575

Remote=

 

I am bit confussed about the 2 folders that are in the SimMarket folder. For those that have this scenery can you eplain to me how to set this scenery up. Thank you very much

You should have another scenery library entry for the TERRAIN. This one should be below the other one.

 

Hi.

 

My installation is about 12 months old.

 

FS9/SimMarket/Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica (folder contents - Docs, Scenery and Texture folders)

 

and

 

FS9/SimMarket/Latin VFR San Jose TERRAIN (folder contents - Scenery folder only)

 

Both folders should be added to your scenery cfg. with TERRAIN having lower priority.

 

Hope this helps.

Ok thanks guys. I guess the exe file didn't install the scenery correct. Im just confussed about the SimMarket folder the exe file made. In the SimMarket folder there are 2 folders named Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica and a Latin VFR San Jose TERRAIN folder, I need to install the terrain folder, but what do I do with the folder named Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica?

but what do I do with the folder named Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica?

 

As stated above:-

 

"Both folders should be added to your scenery cfg. with TERRAIN having lower priority."

Yes but you don't understand. I have a folder named San Jose Costa Rica, then in that folder there are 3 folders a scenery folder a texture folder and a folder named SimMarket. In the SimMarket folder the are 2 folders named Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica and Latin VFR San Jose TERRAIN.

 

The San Jose Costa Rica folder has the airport which is activated. I added the terrain folder, now the only folder left is the one in the SimMarket folder named Latin VFR San Jose Costa Rica.

Whish you all a happy new year!

 

I tried the install routine into a sandbox, as I installed the scenery some months ago. Terrain (within SimMarket folder) came with the update at this time but obviously doesn't make an entry into scenery.cfg. So that you have to activate it as describes above.

 

Now you have the "scenery" and the "texture" folders in your "San Jose Costa Rica" folder left.

- Put the content of "texture" (two files: "latinvfsjoautogen.bmp" and "latinvfsjoautogenlm.bmp" - right?) in the main FS2004 texture folder.

- In the scenery folder, you find subfolders "SAME\scenery" and "World\texture"

In SAME\Scenery you'll find a replacement file for your main FS2004\Scenery\SAME\Scenery folder. (Make a backup of it first). In the World\texture you'll find the phototextures, put them into FS2004\Scenery\World\texture folder.

 

Normally, the installer puts these files already into the appropriate positions of FS2004. The fact that you have these within a "San Jose Costa Rica" folder means that you defined such a folder as install path instead of FS2004 main folder. I use to do the same to know what these installers do. I do even install sceneries into a sandbox first before putting them into the right position...

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks guys! I got it sorted out now.
