For any users of ES Isle of Man, it's worth noting that you can download a couple of additional scenery packages for this (by Tony Meredith) at the following website address...

Look for Isle of Man - Bungalow Helipad and Lang Ness/Scarlett Point/Chicken Rock Light etc.

Thanks for the link Christopher.  I just made my purchase of the Isl of Man.  I picked the slow post, but still hope to have it by Friday. 

Got my DVDs today.  Installing into v3 as I type. Fingers crossed. 

Very good Dean, I will be following your posts. I to hope to get my copy by Friday.

Keep us posted:)

I recommend treescapes in P3D v3, works very well though I think I added the folders manually or possibly copied the autogen files directly into the photoscenery folders. I note that Flightstore still has these on sale. Best autogen tree product (better than Open VFR or NuVecta, both of which I also like).

 

Never got my treescapes scotland south, though - bought it just before the sad demise of ES and wasn't able to download :(

 

Anyone know where you can get a copy of Shawbury Field? I've always wanted to try that one out.

 

Darren and Vicki should pop in here some time - I hope they'd be pleased to see how fondly their work is remembered.

Treescapes Volume 8 - Scotland South....

Yes, I did note in my post that Flightstore has treescapes - I checked out their inventory immediately before posting - but they don't have Shawbury field.

I spent most of today trying to get this IOM DVD into P3D V3 without luck.  It's a combination of an old ESI installer, that will not update, and the inability to extract the compressed files.  This is even before I can attempt to insert it into P3D.

 

Anyone who can offer some pointers would be most appreciated.  Tutorial anywhere?

Dean, I've never used the DVD installer so am shooting blind here, is there any way you can point it to your P3D install folder?

Do you have the installer dated 21/12/14 - it includes a P3D specific installer, but it's for V2 before they changed all the install folders

Keith, the ESInsaller is shown as 2.4 (2013-09-03)  Is it even possible to get an updated ESI now ES are no more?

This is why so many of us prefer being able to manually install addon scenery packages. The ability to access the folders directly would allow someone like me to show you exactly where to put everything!

There could be an awkward workaround - for those with 2.5, the latest ESI installer will install into that. Then, Chris can advise where to manually find relevant files,folders and cfg entries?

Lot of good information and links in this thread http://www.avsim.com/topic/460430-installation-of-earth-simulations-isle-of-man-boxed-edition/page-3

I think you'll find the installer at Tony's site, but he suggests you shouldn't need it.

Cheers

For situations like this, I normally just use a folder which I keep both FSX and Prepar3D .exe files in, but nothing else. I imagine the ES products would install using this method?

 

As there's no other files or folders, I can easily see after the installation which files the product has tried to add and the structure via which they've been added - and then move them to P3D as appropriate.
