YES! Just went in = worked fine! Thank you for your efforts!Rick

I'm also having problem getting in since around 10am CDT this morning. :(

Airport Diagrams for all USA towered airports, to include SIDS/STARS, and approach diagrams can be found:http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=naco/online/d_tpp

Might want to check in or do a search over at the Military AI Works.http://www.militaryaiworks.com/

I have the same scenery. I think Jon may have been asking if these were scenery objects, so they could easily be moved? They are not. It looks to me from the documentation, that the rigs were done using FSDS 2.24, SCASM macros, and FSSC. Each oil rig is different. The raw macro and FSDS project files were not supplied.Therefore would be very difficult to move them. There are separate bgl files for each rig, effects, and hardening of the helipad, along with AFD so they will show up on your fltsim map and GPS.More importantly, it also would be a violation of their copyright to disassemble the scenery files and try to move them without there permission.In the documentation, they talked about expanding the project. Since nothing has happened in 4 years, and you have been unable to contact them, I would say you are out of luck, without starting over from the beginning on your own.

In the Instant Scenery_readme.pdf see the section on sharing your scenery(pg 18). Basically it is under the "?" on the pull down menu.ie. acessing and using the Library Maker. You will be able to see the add-on libraries used and the library models used. You can then upon sharing your scenery provide that information to end users, so they have the libraries necessary to see your add-on scenery.

The only one I know about is a FS2002 2D panel by PAD, which will work in FS2004. Search for: sd36acc2.zip

Premier Aircraft Design also has a good freeware model of the DHC-6 both for FS9 and FSX.

Cannot be done using the data files in FSNav. I believe you would have to write the XML code to place those waypoints, and then convert to a bgl file.There is a file available here on NAT waypoints, search for: nat_v.4.0.zip

I have ver X2. It will not read DXT format. Have to use DXTBmp or FSPaint to convert them.

Absolutely. You can also have more then one traffic type bgl file.Read the documentation that comes with TTools. One thing when adding more traffic, you must make sure there is adequate parking at the airports to where traffic flies, using a tool like AFCAD, AFX, or SGX.

no, that is the newest.

It is available as part of the Ellsworth AFB package from MAIW available here. The aircraft is by Nick Black. Look for file:maiw_ellsworth_afb_221720.zip

Henry Tomkiewicz hosts Dee Waldron's AI Models.They may be found at:http://htaimodels.com/downloads/dwai/fs_projects/

Have you checked out the sceneries by John Stinstrom available here and other sites. He has added many blimp sceneries as they were in WWII, to include Santa Ana, which I believe is what you are looking for at Tustin?

Spencer,Well too bad you state you cannot figure out TTools. :-( It has good instructions, and IMO essential to working with AI.The Retro AI group, has all the plans for retro carriers that you need, and they are categorized by decade. http://www.retroai.org/Another retro group is California Classics: http://www.retroai.org/However, you have to know how to find, download, and install aircraft. You have to be able to make sure airports they fly to have parking spots, etc. ( ie. be able to use AFCAD, SGX or AFX), and you have to understand TTools.The groups you mention such as WOI, Project AI and MAIW, etc. all do great work in turning out packages. I like and use many of them myself. However, they are all volunteers, and generally will not take requests, and they will not give progress reports, until the packages are released.Again in my opinion, if you want to get your sim working the way you want it to, you will have to learn about the utilities/tools available to help you; study the tutorials, and answers on the forums, and then I am sure you can get help to specific questions on the many forums available. There really are not many shortcuts!Good luck and happy flight simming! :-beerchug

Also note that a number of links at the aardvark site have an extra space at the end of the file name, and thus will not be found on the link to www.avsim.com. Just take out the last blank space, and they will pop up!

yes elevation can be a problem in some areas depending on what mesh you are using. If you posted a scenery you would have to state it was for default, whatever. In some areas, such as an elevated pad on an oil rig out on the ocean, well, should work regardless.Do not think that afcad will do the job for you? The part I saw was a direct but simple xml code. Let me see if I can get that link to the direct post.http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/show...ghlight=helipadIf not, a PM to me of your email, and I can send you a copy of the tutorial.

Manny,See you have not gotten an answer. First, I am not running FSX, so not sure if the solution is the same as in FS9. In FS9 you basically have to create a small airport runway at the helipad level to make the hardened surface necessary to land the helicopter.See the following thread:http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...threadid=51071Hope this helps you,

Paul is doing a redesign of that scenery. I have no idea when he will have it ready.Rick

A scenery was done for FS9 of both fields by Mike Magner. You can do a search here on www.avsim.com

You are welcome! :-)It was just blind luck I think on my part. Still cannot understand why it just started up a couple weeks ago. Only thing I can think of, is some automatic update to the browser from MS caused a change in the security settings?Anyway, like you, I am just happy to enjoy the d/l's again.One interesting thing, I had not been able to get into the Avsim forums for more then a year, using IE6, no matter what I tried, change passwords, make sure cookies were set, security settings, etc. etc.Lo and behold, I see your post on problem d/l which also just popped up on my machine, also. So I thought, I would try to post again. It had been so long I had to look up my passwords and username. When I got in using IE7, I was amazed! Well, good luck! These computers can drive you crazy sometimes! :-lolRick

Ok, I solved my issue with the d/l. I was using the ATT/Yahoo browser, which did not show that the MS Windows Security program was blocking part of the program that would allow me to d/l from Avsim. When I actually switched over directly to using IE7 a window popped up and I asked it to not continue blocking, and d/l was successful.Sorry for the bother.Rick Kirk

I must say that at about the time of the original post, I have had the same problem. I have checked my settings and they remain the same. All your listed sites are in my trusted sites. I have IE7 also, but have been running it okay and d/l from your library with no problem up until about a week ago.Now the green bar at the bottom moves along to about half way, and just stops and the page freezes up, and nothing happens.Sincerely,Rick Kirk
