You don't have ezdok camera do you ? When that is in edititing mode it makes a repeated chiming noise... -hth

Glad you got it sorted. Have a good one...

Dont click through the window but click in the open space between the window and the plane.

There is a nice thread going over at Sim-outhouse.http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=43734-hth

o.k. - just tried it and you have to open the window, click on the ladder, and it will go away...-hth

I think you have to close the window and the ladder, etc. will go away...

I have the same problem. I believe it is a windows security feature. I just copy the config to my desktop, make the changes, and then copy it back in, overwriting the original.-hth

I only noticed them after installing GEX 1.9 for the US and Canada. However others have reported them in other parts of the northern US even with the default textures. From what I have heard it is an error in FSX even with correct regional files. I think I will take your advice and just do simple exclusion files or use ez-landclass to change that area. I figured it would not be as simple as changing names in the bgl files. Thanks!Cheers-Blake

Hi Luis -I am getting palm trees in North Dakota and Minnesota (USA). I was thinking by renaming a conifer tree model to have the name of the palm tree model then the palm trees would be replaced with conifers. I have decompiled a few of the FSX scenery bgls but am not able to find which models are used for the palm trees so I can rename them. Then I thought a person could just swap bgl files back when you wanted palm trees. Maybe it is not that simple though.....

Is it possible to replace the model used for the palm trees with another model ? I know there is an error in the way FSX displays some scenery tiles which results in there being palm trees in areas where they should not be. Is it possible to use an existing tree model and rename it as same as the one used as the palm tree ? Just wondering...Thanks

Thank you for the information Luis. This gives me a starting point to look at. If I need more information I will contact you.

I would like to modify the swamp/marsh textures to make them look more snow covered for winter flying in the northern USA. I have tried modifiying the textures with those names but this made no difference as they still looked as though they had open water (green/blue color) in those areas. Am I modifying the wrong textures ? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

I went with TrafficX from Justflight. I had UT2 but ended up returning it. I did not like how UT2 paused the sim every time it needed to inject traffic. If I was watching AI or doing circuts around an airport the sim would pause for several seconds and then there would be a change in the traffic. I have also heard that when approaching a busy airport the pauses can get pretty bad. This is due to the fact that UT2 does not use the old .bgl style flight plans where traffic is loaded from one file. Instead they put traffic into the sim as it is running. There is supposed to be an update coming but the developer has not been responding in the forums. UT2 did give me more comercial traffic and more GA than TrafficX did - I suplimented my GA traffic with a neat freeware program called FSX GA traffic by Markus Brunner (available at Avsim). TrafficX also has military traffic and I thought those models looked better then the military models in Mytraffic. If the pauses don't bother you and you don't need militatry traffic, then UT2 may be the way to go. Flight1 has an awesome return policy so you can try it if you want. -hth

Looks great. I have one question - does this allow for hurricane depiction in FS9 ?
