Hi Guys, When I load a location in Norway, I don't get the location showing up at all; no mesh, no textures, just a flat, featureless nothingness.My guess is something has been overwritten in the scenery files, but where? I have add-on scenery for Norway, but it was working perfectly and I haven't added anything that overlaps the area. I've tried disabling scenery areas one by one to see if there is a conflict but no joy. Are there any tools out there that might identify the files that are in conflict?Cheers,N.

I think there is a Russian airport scenery which has a misworded exclude file that does this, but I don't remember which one, sorry!Allcott

Thanks for the info Allcott. I have narrowed the problem a little more. The scenery is actually still there! It's just that whenever I select a northerly location (Norway, Finland, Sweden, etc), FS9 does not seem to recognize it and dumps me right on the North Pole!Bizzare!So what I am seeing each time I select a northern location is the scenery at the North Pole, which is pretty much non-existent. If I select an adjacent location, a little further south, I can fly into the area and it displays normally.I have tried deleting the FS9.cfg and letting the sim re-build it, but this had no effect. I've had a look at the scenery.cfg file and there is nothing obviously strange about it.Somewhere the sim is indexing the scenery incorrectly. But where?Cheers,N.

It's a guess, but with your alias, you haven't chosen the Southern latitude in your FS-Settings-International menu? You need NORTHERN for Europe and above. DOn't know if that might make a difference?Allcott

By any chance are you running a freeware LDDU Dubrovnik scenery? The exclude in this cause all sorts of similar problems for me in Spain!

Hi there,if you are using my Columbia River Gorge scenery (Oregon and Washington) you may want to have a look at the following thread. For some users, installing the package as recommended has on odd side effect on the GoTo Airport menu: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...topic_id=240404Cheers, Holger

I have a similar but different (?) problem. Whenever I select an airport in New Guinea, I get dumped somewhere off the coast of West Africa....Explain that to me, please, somebody!MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cathayhk.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/maamlogo2.jpg[/a]

Nope, that's not it. The latitude settings are right. Thanks for the suggestion though. Cheers,Noel.

Nope, not running Dubrovnik scenery. Thanks just the same. I need all the leads you can give me!Cheers,Noel.

Hi Holger, Yes, I'm running your great Columbia Gorge scenery. I'll try the fixes suggested this evening and let you know how I go!Cheers,N.

Hi Holger, Yes, as soon as I deactivated ZZZ_Corrected_AFCAD_Elevations Norway came back! I followed your instructions for the alternative fix but I found some of the files you listed for copying into scenery/world/scenery did not exist:AF2_02OR.bgl /AF2_28OR.bgl xAF2_36WA.bgl xAF2_4WA1.bgl /AF2_5WA7.bgl /AF2_66WA.bgl xAF2_68OR.bgl xAF2_6OR1.bgl /AF2_6OR2.bgl /AF2_75WA.bgl /AF2_7OR3.bgl xAF2_7OR6.bgl xAF2_OR50.bgl /AF2_OR60.bgl /AF2_S48.bgl /AF2_WA66.bgl /AF2_WA78.bgl /The files marked with "x" were not in the folder, so I only copied those that were there. So far so good! No CTDs!Thanks very much for your help!Cheers,N.

Hi there,that's odd! Look at http://library.avsim.net/zipdiver.php?DLID=61493 all the AF2_ files I list in the other thread are in the original CRG package. Not sure what happened to yours. Perhaps a re-install would be best.You do want to have the duplicates in place otherwise you'll have display issues at those airfields, like floating runways or objects.Cheers, Holger
