Hi,

 

I luckily could order a CD-Box with Isle of Man of Earth Simulations

(They went out of business a while ago)

If you are interested too, you can order it here for only 10 UKP:

Anyway:

I installed it on P3D but the installer didn't update my scenery.cfg (IOM CD was version 2.4, not 2.5 which supports P3D)

Normally not an issue because I can add it myself, but this scenery has 7 main scenery folders and I don't have a clue in what order to add them to my scenery.cfg.

 

I have the following folders:

IOS-IOM-3D

IOS-IOM-Airports

IOS-IOM-FX

IOS-IOM-Photo

IOS-IOM-SFX

IOS-IOM-Terrain

IOS-IOM-TFX

 

Can someone please enlighten me?

Grazie,

Egbert

my order is

 

ES-IOM-SFX

ES-IOM-FX

ES-IOM-TFX

ES-IOM-Helipads

ES-EGNS-Ronaldsway

ES-X9MR-MountRule

ES-X9JU-Jurby

ES-X9AN-Andreas

ES-IOM-Photo

ES-IOM-Terrain

ES-3D

ES-SFX

 

this works fine for me

 

if you Google    "earth simulations scenery order"    there is a page with ordering information and possible autogen compatibility files that may be required.

Their installer is an absolute nightmare so I wouldn't go anywhere near P3D with these products!!

Things are only what they appear to the observer...it's not really that much of a nightmare when you strip it down.   And even if it is to some people, I rather think the quality of the scenery is worth the effort.  Advising people to not even try seems a bit pessimistic and defeatist to me   Cheers K

Where their is a will, their is a way.....but yes the installer is a real demon.

Ahhh Kevin   ... I respect what you are saying but if it screws up a perfectly working P3D with stacks of addons installed then I am sure you'd agree that you wouldn't be that pleased!!

you all have them in the wrong order!

 

Here is the correct order for Isle of Man in the scenery library.

Straight from the horses mouth:

For myself I think I will stick with how it was originally installed on my system by ES as I have no stepped runways or other issues with the scenery, I just posted the above in response for information.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for your replies!

As we speak, I'm flying to EGNS from EGCW. ETA:30min

For the record, ES Isle of Man is one of the best scenery packages ever developed. Just a little thought for the day.

Back in FSX I remember a similar complex set of files with their tiny Isles of Scilly package. Amazing for a group of small islands with only 2,200 inhabitants.

 

It offended my sense of tidiness, so I merged them all down to single 'scenery' and 'texture' folders, and I didn't seem to cause any problems.

It's a shame that ES products do not have more conventional installers. They are superb scenery packages, and deserve to be on as many PC hard disks as possible!
