Question about IWI Curacao Scenery

Featured Replies

I just installed this scenery. After installation I went to the active runway to see what it looked like and there was absolutely nothing there except the runway!! Since I usually fly with autogen off and scenery density set to "extremely dense", I tried setting autogen to "sparse" and then it appeared! Since when does autogen need to be set to at least "sparse" for the addon scenery to appear? By the way the airport looks great!Airbus

Well I don't get buildings at all. All I see are ground textures in the tarmack where buildings are supposed to be, I believe. Even reset the sliders to no avail. What doess Shane mean with his response (nm)?

Hi there. I had the same but the n went back and read the info in the folder !! You'll see you have to change a 'bgl'file ending to 'curacao' and then load the scenery, then reboot to see it.

I had the same problem what I did is when you start fs. on the opening page go to settings and scenery then add the scenery then reboot and it will be there. hope this helps. keith:-beerchug

That is the answer "go to the opening page go to settings and scenery then add the scenery" you may have thought it was automatically being added but it was not you have to do it manually as stated in the above post....personally I put the Curacao folder in my addon scenery folder and then manually added it :) http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/98260.jpgregardsEdhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/97058.jpg

I too have had trouble with this scenery. I followed the scenery installation instructions to the letter including renaming the .bgl. When I go to settings scenery where do I go to find the scenery to add it. There is no reference to it. Why must scenery developers have so many different ways of adding their scenery. Surely standardisation would help all of us. They forget that 95% of us do not have degrees in computing and IT. Most of my friends avoid downloads because of the hassle involved. I persevere usually without too much trouble but today I have wasted the best part of 2 hours and achieved nothing except frustration. Perhaps the scenery developer of this program would care to comment! Chris Yates

What were you thinking landing on the 29?The prevailing winds at Curacao are strong, 11 is the only runway regularly used (which is why the (often inoperational) ILS is only on that end) :)

click on add scenery when the next window look in the fs. scenery folder and look for curacao then click on it. It will then add the scenery. You will then have to restart fs. keith

Hi there.I read a very interesting post about add-on scenery as I always found it really awkward to do. Here goes! 1st- make a new folder, which I call Sim Scenery. 2nd- Put this folder somewhere easy to find, mine went into My Documents. 3rd- download some scenery. ( I put all downloads into a Briefcase)4th- scan for nasties and then unzip and leave in the briefcase.5th- open the unzipped folder and sort out which folder actually contains the stuff you want- say 'Alaskan Lighthouses',which should contain just two folders- scenery and texture.6th-copy this folder into Sim Scenery.:( Stage 2. Fire up the sim and go to settings -scenery-add scenery etc. scroll down to My Documents, open that, then click on Sim Scenery and open, then click on 'Alaskan Lighthouses' and that should sort itself out. Reboot the sim etc etc. I think 'Curacao' went into FS9/scenery, but I dont want to be teachin' my granma how to suck eggs :-roll

I did re-read the instructions and found out my errors. However, renaming the 'bgl' file only created an error message on loading the airport. FS9 was telling me to delete 'hp929270' due to an error in the file. So I just removed the 'curarcao' ext. and all works just fine (after adding the Curarcoa scenery in the scenery library. Looks graet. A previous post indicates that RW 11 is the "only" one in use due to the high winds and that prbably expalains why there are no VASI lights on RW 29.

Imagine you had a scenery that was not an autoinstall activate it the same way. :)regardsEdhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/97058.jpg

What I had to do was set my autogen level to at least "sparse" to get the scenery to show up. There are many files in the curacao texture directory to have ag*.* which probably relates to autogen.Good luck!Airbus
