Thanks for your help and suggestions Mike.I did try again with a completely different username, but got the same result about being 'banned'. I'm not sure why my preferred username thinks I'm a spammer. I don't have this problem here or on the other well-known site. Anyway, as they clearly don't want me, I shall stick with all the other sites where I am more welcome.David

I have got the GenX scenery for Southern England together with Gary Summons Airports for the South. As has been said, the scenery is very flat, and road bridges don't seem to exist. This produces an effect where a road dips down one side of an embankment and climbs up the other producing a rather strange effect.The other noticable thing relates to GPS Terrain. Fying over southern England, the GPS shows water rather than land.I also have heard good things about Earth Simulations Trees.Hope this helpsDavid

Thanks for your suggestion Mike, but I probably wouldn't be on this site if I didn't know the answers to their questions!!I did try again and this time I got a msg saying that user Daviddv is a Spam, please contact forum administrator.I don't know what is happening on that site. After all this, are their FSX models worth downloading?David

This may not be the correct place to ask a question about registering at Alpha India Group. I was going to download a recent file from the file library, but it stated that more info available on the AIG site. On trying to register, which seems to be compulsary, I kept being told "Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum! Your application appears to be unrelated to AI."Trying to access their Help produces the same result.Is anyone else having this problem?David

I can log in OK and view most forums, but I can never view the Hardware (Mobo etc) forum. It says I am not allowed, and if I try to log in again - the same thing!Help!!!

Managed to sort this out. After trawling through a number of other sites, I found that a dll file (Traffic.dll) had to go into the root FS2002 folder as well as the Modules folder. Very strange as even after a full reinstall as per MS install process FS wouldn't start until I copied that file.I post this in case it is of interest to others.David

This is very odd - I did give it a try, but no difference!I can run FS from Win98 OK, but from XP no. Any ideas?David

JohnThanks for that idea - I'll give it a tryDavid

This is a bit strange...I am upgrading from Win98 to XP (fresh install on new drive), and gradually getting my system back to normal.I didn't want to do a major reinstall of FS (I am still on FS2k2), so renamed my FS2002 folder to FSold, and did a minimum install of FS to folder FS2002 in order to set up the registry entries. Then renamed my new fs2002 to FSMin, followed by FSold to FS2002.But when I try to start FS it won't - says a serious error, did I want to report to MS?Module Name: main.dll.I tried the old trick of removing FS2002.cfg, but same result.Also edited out every scenery addon from the scenery.cfg.Anyone have any ideas on this?ThanksDavid

Yes that was it.I had mistakenly thought that as my test island was well away from land, I didn't need to do the surrounding LWM Polygon.Thanks for all the help.RegardsDavid

Good question EdgarI am still running FS2K2 and am waiting for FS2K6!!!.I believe the V5s are for FS9 only.RegardsDavid

DickHere is my excludeRegardsDavid

Hello Dick Yes it should be very simple.Attached is my test island.I'll follow up with the other one.Thanks for your speedy response.David

Still have a couple of problems:1. I fill the small areas with Landclass 130 (Rock) and extend this around my test island. When I show this in FS, the bottom half fills to the coast, but the top half overlaps. I attch a pic to show what I mean.2. With my real island, I can't seem to exclude the default island. I have surrounded the island with a 'Poly without shore', and set a LWM of water. Shouldn't the resulting exclude 0_xxx.bgl remove the existing island and cover it with sea?Sorry if these questions seem very elementary.RegardsDavid

Sorry - bit of aproblem with my attachment size I thinkDavid
