Help please square beaches???

[Guest psouthan]

Hello fellow simmers,Please forgive me if this is not the correct forum, I'm not sure. can someone please tell me how I can restore the island of Bora Bora back to its former glory? I have installed either some textures or mesh which is causing the beaches to appear square (please see attached jpg). Unfortunately, i can't seem to identify the culprit. can anyone offer any suggestions, even if it means restoring the defaiult and starting again?regardsPaul

It looks like maybe you installed some new scenery, but it's missing some landclass, and maybe the default beach is not excluded either.In approaching this kind of problem, assuming you can't remember anything specific you added after the last time the area looked OK, I would first turn off all addon scenery in the scenery library (I think normally in a full install area 37 is the last default scenery. all the ones above it, starting with "addon scenery" can be turned off for testing.) Then restart the sim and go back and take a look. If that fixes it, turn on scenery areas one by one (or maybe half of the remaining ones at a time to speed things up) and try again, until you find the scenery area that is causing the problem.If you still have the problem after turning off all the scenery areas, then probably a file got inserted where normally the default ones are. I would check in sceneryBASEscenery and look for any files with recent file date stamps. Try turning them off by renaming them such as:frompossiblybadLC.bgltopossiblybadLC.bbbThen restarting the sim and again taking a look. The other place I would look for suspicious files is sceneryocenscenery. Proceed the same way by renaming any files with recent file dates. The default files shouldn't be any newer than about 08/03.OF course, if you find the offending file don't forget to rename the other ones back to .bgl so they work again.FWIW, I don't think your problem is mesh.scott s..

Hello Scott,Thank you for taking time-out to help me. I will try what you have suggested. Unfortunately, I have a related problem: For whatever reason I couldn't boot up my FS2004 after I updated my BIOS settings with some download from the manufacture's site. Anyway, eventually I got it working but, and I don't know how, it change some settings. After a nightmare I eventually got it working. However, it said a few scenery files are missing (please see attached photo).Also as you can see I tried to delete this from my scenery.cfg but now I am in a mess. What do i do about the sequencing of the scenery files? Should I just re-number them 1-xx? Please see a the copy of my CFG below. Thank you so much for your help Scott.RegardsPaul[General]Title=FS9 World SceneryDescription=FS9 Scenery DataClean_on_Exit=TRUE[Area.001]Title=Default TerrainTexture_ID=1Layer=1Active=TRUERequired=TRUELocal=SceneryWorldRemote=[Area.002]Title=Default SceneryLocal=SceneryBASELayer=2Active=TRUERequired=TRUERemote=[Area.003]Title=AfricaLayer=3Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryAfriRemote=[Area.004]Title=AsiaLayer=4Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryAsiaRemote=[Area.005]Title=AustraliaLayer=5Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryAustRemote=[Area.006]Title=Eastern EuropeLocal=SceneryEURELayer=6Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.007]Title=Western EuropeLocal=SceneryEURWLayer=7Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.008]Title=Central North AmericaLocal=SceneryNAMCLayer=8Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.009]Title=Eastern North AmericaLocal=SceneryNAMELayer=9Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.010]Title=Western North AmericaLocal=SceneryNAMWLayer=10Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.011]Title=OceaniaLayer=11Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryOcenRemote=[Area.012]Title=South AmericaLayer=12Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=ScenerySameRemote=[Area.013]Title=Amsterdam Aerial PhotoLayer=13Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesAmsterdRemote=[Area.014]Title=Anchorage Aerial PhotoLayer=14Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesAnchorRemote=[Area.015]Title=Atlanta Aerial PhotoLayer=15Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesAtlantaRemote=[Area.016]Title=Chicago Aerial PhotoLayer=16Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesChicagoRemote=[Area.017]Title=Dallas Aerial PhotoLocal=SceneryCitiesDallasLayer=17Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.018]Title=Denver Aerial PhotoLocal=SceneryCitiesDenverLayer=18Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.019]Title=Heathrow Aerial PhotoLayer=19Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesHeathrowRemote=[Area.020]Title=Hong Kong Aerial PhotoLayer=20Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesHongkongRemote=[Area.021]Title=Kitty Hawk Aerial PhotoLayer=21Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesKittyhwkRemote=[Area.022]Title=Las Vegas Aerial PhotoLayer=22Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesLasvegasRemote=[Area.023]Title=Los Angeles Aerial PhotoLayer=23Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesLaRemote=[Area.024]Title=Miami Aerial PhotoLayer=24Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesMiamiRemote=[Area.025]Title=New York Aerial PhotoLocal=SceneryCitiesNewYorkLayer=25Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.026]Title=Niagara Aerial PhotoLayer=26Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesNiagaraRemote=[Area.027]Title=Oshkosh Aerial PhotoLocal=SceneryCitiesOshkoshLayer=27Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.028]Title=Paris Aerial PhotoLayer=28Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesParisRemote=[Area.029]Title=Phoenix Aerial PhotoLayer=29Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesPhoenixRemote=[Area.030]Title=San Francisco Aerial PhotoLayer=30Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesSanfranRemote=[Area.031]Title=Seattle Aerial PhotoLocal=SceneryCitiesSeattleLayer=31Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.032]Title=St. Maarten Aerial PhotoLocal=SceneryCitiesStmaartenLayer=32Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.033]Title=Sydney Aerial PhotoLayer=33Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesSydneyRemote=[Area.034]Title=Tokyo Aerial PhotoLayer=34Active=TRUERequired=FALSELocal=SceneryCitiesTokyoRemote=[Area.035]Title=Generic LibrariesLocal=SceneryGenericLayer=35Active=TRUERequired=TRUERemote=[Area.036]Title=Vehicle LibrariesLocal=SceneryVehiclesLayer=36Active=TRUERequired=TRUERemote=[Area.037]Title=Propeller ObjectsLocal=ScenerypropsLayer=37Active=TRUERequired=TRUERemote=[Area.038]Title=Addon SceneryLocal=Addon SceneryLayer=38Active=TRUERequired=FALSERemote=[Area.039]Title=Alicante2004-updateLocal=Addon SceneryAlicante2004-updateRemote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=39[Area.040]Title=AUMESHLocal=Addon SceneryAUMESHRemote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=40[Area.041]Title=AlicanteLCLocal=Addon SceneryAlicanteLCRemote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=41[Area.042]Title=AI_TrafficLocal=Addon SceneryAlicante2004-updateAI_TrafficRemote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=42[Area.043]Title=SimWings Barcelona FS2004Local=Addon ScenerySimWings Barcelona FS2004Remote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=43[Area.044]Title=Adelaide CBDLocal=Addon SceneryAdelaide CBDRemote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=44[Area.045]Title=Africa -

Hi Paul,the "missing beaches" are in fact missing default Land-Water-Mask files (LWM), which define the details of coastlines and lakes and are located in the regional subfolder so FS9Scenery. They all start with HP9* and it appears one of your add-ons moved or deleted them. If you don't know which add-on did this the best option is to reload those files from your original FS9 CDs.As for the scenery.cfg mess, it's possible that Steve Greenwood's utility to sort and renumber the scenery.cfg file - http://www.fs-traveler.com/resources-g.shtml - could help you out; it also removes duplicate entries.Good luck!Cheers, Holger

If you updated BIOS, you may need to do several things. First, flush the CMOS of old BIOS settings. This is usually done by moving a jumper and the power supply cable on the motherboard to remove battery power from the CMOS memory for 30-60 seconds then reconnect the power supply cable and place the jumper in the normal position. If a jumper cannot be found, remove the battery and the power supply cable connection to the motherboard for 30-60 seconds then reverse the procedure.Next, start the computer to BIOS. Usually there are two entries, one to load default settings and the other to load performance settings. It is usually better to load the default settings, then set the performance settings manually.Visit http://www.rojakpot.com/ and read the free information on BIOS settings.In general, BIOS settings shouldn't affect flight simulator alone but the whole computer.W.
