February 25, 201511 yr I bought the FSGenesis 10m United States terrain mesh and had problems installing it in FSX:SE. I figured out the problem, the FSGenesis installer tried to install to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX However, you need to add a backslash to the end of the path so it looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\ If you don't do that, it will create a directory in the "common" folder called FSXscenery and install the mesh in there and FSX won't be able to find it. I am using Windows 8.1, I'm not sure if this happens in other versions of Windows. There is a second install error as well, I'm guessing this issue is not FSX:SE exclusive. When installing the NE portion of the scenery, it creates a directory inside the FSX directory called scenery0302 and installs a single .bgl file in there (all the other .bgl files in this particular install do go in the scenery directory like they're supposed to). You need to take the .bgl file in that directory and put it in FSX\scenery\0302\scenery. My Request: Can someone that has the FSGenesis 10m mesh installed post a screen shot of short final to KSMO runway 21? After all I went through to get FSGenesis installed I'm still not sure it's working correctly. In real life KSMO (my home airport) is on a slight plateau and with FSGenesis installed there is no difference that I can see vs. the FSX default scenery. FSGenesis is advertising that they have "corrected" airport plateaus in their mesh, so this may be normal for FSGenesis mesh, but if so it's as shame because as I mentioned KSMO does sit on a slight plateau in real life. I asked FSGenesis support if they could send me a screen shot and the person that responded told me he couldn't because he didn't even have FSGenesis installed on his computer! Bizarre.
