What entries do you have in your Scenery Library, Rick? Those folders look OK, but I need to see the folder structure within each of the Channel Isles, Isle of Man, and Isles of Scilly folders.

Here you are, Christopher, as asked.

 

Ok the following files installed to the root C/ directory via disks.

 

ESI-packs

Product manuals

Backups

Isle of Man (11.9 GB)

ES-3D

Logs

 

How do I now copy these to where they should be for FSX-SE?

I have the disks, not download.

 

Yes same here.     I was getting some direction from 3 Gents on putting together a Beginners guide to Installing Earth Simulations Scenery for Prepar3D from the Disc version's.

 

I got caught up with doing other stuff.  But will get back to it over the weekend. 

Well I pointed the scenery library to ES Isle of Man and they are showing up correctly in the scenery library. 3 ticks I believe.

 

But there is strange behaviour during the load, taking ages, springing back to desktop, blank screen. Eventually it loads and the main Airport (Douglas I think) is all fine and crisp. However, I get a bad case of the blurries when flying in my CH47, so nothing fast. I do not have this with any other scenery at all.

VFR GenX Scotland South is underwater. Gutted. Really fed up now.

Vic,

 

If the two entries at the top of your Scenery list are the only entries that you have for ES software, then it is no wonder that you are having problems! Kevin has already listed the entries that you need for ES Isle of Man (although Langness and Bungalow are separate addons for the ES package; we can worry about these when you have sorted the rest out). You will have to wait until I get home from work to provide you with a list for the Channel Isles and Isles of Scilly.

That screenshot of EGHE St Mary's has a lot more wrong about it than just a missing ALT file, Kevin. The scenery looks nowhere near detailed enough for the ES version, so it seems that this package has as many problems as his ES Isle of Man screenshot seems to exhibit

 

@Rick - I look forward to meeting you at RAF Cosford this year. If you get there early, you will probably notice a solitary bloke waiting at the front door an hour before it opens. That will be me :smile:

I wonder if the St Mary's is suffering from an alternative scenery also being active, for example a UK2000 version as well.  Have you tried St Mary's with all your other addons deactivated in the scenery library Rick? If not, try that first, as it may highlight a simple activation/layering issue you need to deal with...

 

Kevin, just looked in that link, but cannot locate that Autogen Merge Utility. Even looked under his tab.

Yes, hope so. Last year just as I was gearing up in August to attend, a pal calls me up and tells me he's booked me on flight to the Souther Hemisphere. Drat!

 

Double drat your observations of my entire ES package. Now, I am depressed! How can I rectify this mess?

 

What's missing from this?

 

Difficult to tell what, if anything, is wrong with any scenery folders from that shot Rick!  Give us a shot showing the scenery folders you actually have in the Isle of Man and Isles of Scilly folders, and perhaps show us your scenery.cfg so we can see what is actually active and in what order?

 

Cheers Kev

If his Scenery Library screenshot is any indication, I suspect that he simply does not have most of the ES software active.

Agreed Chris..

 

Rick, Here's the scenery folders that should be active for the Channel Isles scenery and Scilly Isles, in the correct order.

Hi Kevin & Christopher

 

Again, many thanks for your help. Okay, please take a look at these screenshots.

 

(a)Channel Isles

(b)FSX-SE Root

 

©Isles of Scilly

(d)Isle of Man

I hope these images help you two analyse what is going skew-whiff with my ES sceneries. Thanks, gents.

Rick,

First image looks like a good structure for the Channel Isles, second doesnt mean a lot sorry. Its the content within the ES folder. are the folders I listed above all in there? have you activated all the scenery folders? K

Hi Kevin

 

Which ES folder are you referring to? I created that Earth Simulations folder to drop everything in there.

 

If on the other hand you are referring to the ES-3D folder, that has a scenery and texture sub-folders.

 

My Channel Isles and Scilly Isles look nothing like your layout order. Maybe that's where all this is falling down. How can I install this is the ES Installer cannot link to their defunct server?

 

I have no yet activated anything in the FSX-SE Scenery Library. Just heading that way now.

 

Here's my Scenery.cfg

Sorry my bad, I tend to use ES to mean shorthand for Earth Simulations because I'm a lazy typist So ES meant the 'Earth Simulations' folder that was highlighted in the image you posted.

 

When you've activated all the relevant folders as I listed in the previous posts, then let's take it from there...

I'm now floundering. I installed everything that could be added to the FSX-SE Scenery Library, and activated them, and de-activated every other add-on scenery right down to the default sceneries. Let the Scenery Library rebuild, and tried out  Guernsey. It looked a complete bgl mess. It looked nothing like this. Where the taxiway is to the right of that sign D1, was a deep chasm. I knew instantly it was not correct.

 

 

I have no idea where to go from here.

add the Guernsey altitude mod file from http://www.arm-computers.co.uk/FullScenery/TonyMeredith/tonymeredith.html#Guernsey

 

Then we'll look at autogen and textures etc
