Hi Wayne,I always get the error message that FRATOWER.BINcannot be found when firing FLY! with EDDM selected.As nobody else complained until now I was a little doubtful whether it might be my personal problem and I installed again (now not in the external folder) and looked into the shared directory (all there: Biber, Steve, TM256).Is there an error in your scenery OR - if not - which other POD should I have to get FRATOWER.BIN?Thank you in advanceRegardsGeorg HeliFLYer EDDW

Georg:Do you get a CTD when loading EDDM?I have checked all the POD's that I used for EDDM and cannot find the FRATOWER.bin model. What I think is that you are using another scenery POD in your Scenery/Shared folder for another airport. You may have deleted that POD and when loading EDDM it is looking for that .bin since it is at an airport near EDDM. This is my guess as it has happened to me before when I try to load an airport or POD that was deleted. The only cure that I have found is to go into the Data folder and delete all reference to the airport that uses that model.On my system I can double click on each POD and view the contents. You may want to do that and see if you can find the FRATOWER.bin.Let us know if you find a solution, or if you need more help let us know. I feel that it is in a scenery POD that you have downloaded as it is not in any POD's that I am using. From the name I would guess a France Tower.

Thank you, Wayne, for your fast reply.I am just working "on call", that means if the phone rings I have to go to work. As long as I stay here at home I try to find out what happens and will report it. Otherwise (if working) I check it tomorrow evening!And "vielen Dank" for the German airports - you see, I use them!CheersGeorg

Georg:I have taxiways for ETSI, but no scenery. If you have airport scenery for ETSI it came from someone else and they must have used FRATOWER.

Hi Georg I notice sometimes that sort of problem (and many other flyers) : Fly! search for an object or a texture in near scenery without any success. We did hard work about it at ROTW looking for an unique scf file. But the result were not conclusive.DidierROTW
