Help with fssc

[Guest GorG]

Hello, I need some help with my first scenery.I've created some objects with gmax, made the apis, set up the 'scene' in fssc, and it looks OK in FS2004. Now I would like to add a background image, so I can paint some details in the ground. I'm trying with 'new misc object/background image' but the 'visible in FS' option is always disabled. How can I add this image? Can be done with fssc or i'll need any other tool?also the 'new misc object/flat area' seems to be always disabled, is there a way to use this?thanks guys

Hi,You might have better luck finding answers in the FSSC forum: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=175I'm not sure why certain options are disabled in FSSC. Are you certain you have the most recent version?I believe the Background Bitmap selection currently only adds an image to the palatte so that you have a point of reference when adding macros, etc. I don't think its actually places a bmp onto the terrain. Of course, I'm a novice with FSSC so likely mistaken. You'll probably find your answer in the other forum.

I would check the preferences and see for which version of FS you have set it. Some options seem to be disabled if you set it to Fs98 for example.

Cheked the preferences, i had them set to FS95. It works OK now, thank you both for the advice.
