December 7, 200421 yr Good morning,Need some help for an information that I did not found in FSGlobal2005 manual. I have FS9 and FS2002 installed on my machine and would like FS Global to run on both. So far, its running on FS2002. I read in FSGlobal manual that there is no need to install the program twice, but to its large size. They are just mentionning files to be copied from one Scenery Database to the other. Does someone knows which file should be copied and where to place them ?Many thanks for your kind regards,Patrick JorandGeneva, Switzerland
December 7, 200421 yr Hi Patrick,There are no files to be copied ... You just need to create scenery layer entries in FS2004 pointing to your FS2002 installation.Start FS2004.If it immediately starts a flight, press ESC. This brings up a selection screen, where you click END FLIGHT.Now in any case you will be at the main selection screen.Here click SETTINGS.On the next window click SCENERY LIBRARY.Now you see all scenery layer entries listed. The most top one is highlighted.On the right menu click ADD AREA.This brings up a normal Windows explorer-style file dialog.Here browse to the drive, which you selected during FSGlobal 2005 installation in FS2002. On that drive you will find a directory FSG2005. Click on it. This opens the subdirectory listing. Here you will see listed the following directories:AFRASIEURNAMOCESAMI am sure, I do not need to explain, which is for which continent .... :-)Click on AFR. Now you see two directories SCENERY and TEXTURE and the lines (directory and title) below are filled automatically. One contains the path (do not edit) and one contains the title. You can leave the title as is (it will then read just "AFR", but you will know it is FS Global 2005 Africa) or you edit the title line to something like "FS Global 2005 Africa". Check the "Use this scenery directly" box and click OK.You have to do this for every of the six above listed directories. Then you HAVE TO RESTART FS. Otherwise changes may get lost again!Hope this helps!S.
