Hey Guys

  I'm new here...This may already be on the forum , and I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong area

 I have a problem with FSX..yea who doesn't right ?  

Of the many add ons I have installed and verified the files are where they are supposed to be.. Add On Scenery

but when I try to activate them within the Sim,,, I click down to the scenery folder...blank,, nothing  

This has been driving me crazy... I have had these working before and its not just this add on.. it's same with others too.

Win10 64 pro, FSXw/Accel.. 

I have moved your topic into the FSX forum.  If I understand correctly......you place the new scenery folder in the Addon Scenery folder, then, while in the Sim, you go to the Scenery Library and try to add the scenery and you're saying the folder is empty??

I have used this for years now.  It makes it all so much easier!

Correct

 

What scenery package did you download?

Caribbean Sea Plane Tours   

Of course its all around the Florida Keys where I live

There is also another package called CSPTF   kinda the same theme by Mocat

Got a link to that package.  I don't have a Sim on my computer, but I can still take a look at why your folder is empty. I was just looking around at Flyawaysimulations and was looking at one of their Caribbean Sea Plane tours package.  I saw this in their list of instructions:

5. THIS IS WHERE MOST MISTAKES WERE MADE. Copy the contents of the “scenery” folder and the “textures” folder to your “Add on scenery/Scenery and Add on scenery/textures folders respectively. DO NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR MAIN FSX “SCENERY” AND “TEXTURES” folders or the scenery will not show up.

I do remember seeing that ... So I verified that all files ARE where they are supposed to be. 

Like I said, I have had this running.. if the eye candy it wasn't worth it... but I remember It was a pain to install last time too..

 

Good Morning

  Well here is what I've done

  Complete uninstall of FSX...everything, dumped it ALL addons, sceneries, runways, pilot logs, ETC.

Acceleration also.. verified on a reboot that everything was gone...

Fresh install of FSX and Accel...went through the registry nonsense to get them both activated..

Installed the Caribbean package,,,,rebooted.... the folders are still empty when I attempt to activate them within the game..  this is what should be showing..

"Installation: If your reading this, the files are installed….but, you will need to activate the files in FSX! Order is important"……
Activate the folders in this order…..

    1. Key West        
    2.  Mooney Harbor
    3.  Key West Docks
    4.  Fort Jefferson
    5.  Marathon Key
    6.  Havana
    7.  Holiday Isle
    8.  Ocean Reef Club
    9.  Bimini
    10.  Miami
    11.  Disney
    12.  St. Augustine
    13.  Coco Beach        
After activation, your “Scenery Settings Screen” should appear like the one above

That’s it……for installation

 

My last thought would be to contact the developer with your installation problem.

Good Afternoon,

  I don't ever give up that easy... besides I already tried that..lol

However,,, I have managed to get this package running.. YES it's up.....so far   lol

I want to thank everyone for jumping right on this and It was one of the suggestions offered that got me looking more closely... it's in the wording of the Install instructions. !

I needed a fresh install anyway...grin
