August 1, 200421 yr Hi,I would like to know how I can add a "flatten switch" in the Scenery.cfg file in FS2004.The scenery I would like to flatten is the default runway at LIPR (Rimini) in Italy, since it is far from flat. (very bumpy ride for the aircraft):-)Where in the Scenery.cfg file do I add the "flatten switch"? And how should it be written?Fly safe, Staffan AhlbergSweden/Stockholm/ESSAMD-11 Panel Team - Beta testerMy specs are:Dell Dimension 4600 P4/3.0 Ghz512 Mb DDR333 Dual channel memory128 Mb ATI Radeon 9800 ProCatalyst 3.9DirectX 9.0E171FPb Flat panel monitor 17"240Gb (2x120) 7200rpm HD Staffan
August 1, 200421 yr Commercial Member Hi Staffan,rather than adding a manual flatten switch into the scenery.cfg, which can only be rectangular and needs to added and removed by hand, I suggest you use Steve Greenwood's FSTFlatten instead, which allows any shape, nested flattens, and compiles the flatten as a separate bgl, which can be placed directly with the scenery (or in any active scenery subfolder). The utility is available here: http://www.fs-traveler.com/flatten.shtmlCheers, Holger
August 1, 200421 yr Thanks Holger,But I really only need a rectangulare flatten switch. So it doesn Staffan
August 1, 200421 yr Commercial Member Hi Staffan,I see. Do a search for "flatten" AND "switch" in this forum and it'll bring up a couple of relevant threads.Cheers, Holger
August 2, 200421 yr Author The trouble is that you still need the same information to insert into the scenery.cfg file that would be in a flatten *.bgl. With the flatten tools recommended, it is a pictorial using FSUIPC and the flatten tools.W. Sieffert Bill Sieffert
