Hi.I am having some problems here.When I try to run FSX (SP1 and 2) I keep getting the ''Failed to read from file'' message (A windowsmessage) and a CTD sometimes after 10 minutes flight, and sometimes right at loading a flight.What could be the possible cause?Tried with the latest nvidia driver for my 8800GTS. That made the problem worse ( I think)Any help welcome.KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Just got the FSdreamscapes Utah. The mesh is absolutely outstanding. Looking foreward to download the photos.KindlyJakob Arnholtz

I am looking for a high resolution mesh for my MegasceneryEarth Utah Scenery.Any hints ?KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Looks promising. Thanks a lot.KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Hi.I have purchased Aerosoft's VFR Germany south, a stunning, photoreal product-Bravo Aerosoft!I am looking for a mesh to go with this scenery. At the moment, I am using fsGenesis at the moment, but the meshresolution in Erope is not satisfactory.Any suggestions?KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Sounds promising to me.After not having read anything bad about this product, I just might buy it this afternoon. Reminds me of my childhood, when the aircraft was active ( Yes, I am that old!) and you could get a Mirage airfixkit in the local toystore. KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Thank you for the fine Schreenshots. Nicelooking VC. KindlyJakob Arnholtz

HiHow is the new SkySim Mirage III?Has anyone tried it out yet?The screenshots on their homepage are limited to a few, with only one picture of the VC.Could be great to see some more shots of the virtual cocpit.KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Tank you for the reply. I will do just that.KaindlyJakob

As said above. Framerates is not a issue on my system. Lots of planes built for FS2002 or fs9 can be used as AI with great results due to the much faster processors we have today.As I recall it, one should edit in the general part of the Aircraft.configurationfile to have satistfactory results.

Hi Bob an thanks for your reply.I am using planes like Captain Sim F-104 as AI. I guess I have a fairly fast system and my framerates are satistfactory (+20fps at Edwards afb)I have done this before, and now I am working on historic testaircrafts at Edwards. (Great fun to meet the Douglas Stiletto X-3 or the YBell XP-59A Aircomet)Normaly I use a airfile I now works, but as I recall it, one should edit in the general part of the Aircraft.configurationfile to have satistfactory results. And in some casese, just forget about it, it cant' be done.What I cant't remeber, and what I need to know is, what to edit in the general section of the aircraft.cfgKindlyJakob Arnholtz

Happy New Year :( What do I edit in the Aircraft.cfg file in order to make a aircraft work as AI aircraft?There has been a tread on the subject, but I can't find it again, and I just can't remember the alterations (Apart a new airfile)KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Downloading right now. Thanks a million times!!!!!Best regardsJakob Arnholtz

Hi Robert.Since you read this thread from time to time, I would like to hear a word from you or MegasceneryEarth. My case is this:I have ordered and downloaded the whole MegasceneryEarth Utah scenery ( Wonderfull product by the way-bravo!)Alas I am having problems with the UT-33.exeI have recieved a wrong link. When I try to download UT 33 (utah scenery) I am getting Utah-34.zip.My downloadvalidation is running out, and I have not yet recieved what I payed for, which i think is quiteannoying.Now my downloadvalidation is running out in two days, and would like a assurance, that the link will be prolonged, and that someone at MegascenertEarth is doing something about the problem.Information is the keyword to happy customer!KindlyJakob Arnholtz

A agree with David and David. I could not download at my higest speed. And my connection has been tested and found healthy. And I am still waiting to hear from support, and yes, they can't be reached through the formular on the MegasceneryEarth homepage. The product is absolutely stunning, but the homepageschribt and support.....!still waitingJakob Arnholtz

Hello Jean-Jacques.That is great news. Thank you for sharing the info!!KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Hi paavao and thanks for the links and info.I have this monday morning (Copenhagen-DK) tried to contact pcavator through the two links you supplied. Up to now without any succes. My link Is expiring in 2 days, so I hope, that someone at megasceneryearth is watching this thread.KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Same problem here. I have recieved a wrong link. When I try to download UT 33 (utah scenery) I am getting UT34.If someone could get us a valid emailadress to the people behind Megasceneryearth it would be much appreciated. My downloadvalidation is running out, and I have not yet recieved what I payed for. Lets be spared for these problems. They are overshadowing a otherwise fine product. KindlyJakob Arnholtz

A part of the Utah scenery package UT-28 Can't be downloaded.I hope you people at MegasceneryEarth are watching this forum. It is the only way to recah you, since the emailform on you homepage is out of order.KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Wonderfull to have contact with support.Here is another waterstream with faulty elevation for you N40 14,55 W111 40,90 (Utah)The patch is great news. Happy New Year :( KindlyJakob Arnholtz

Have downloaded 2/3 of Utah. The scenery looks really fine ( apart from minor errors wich you find in most photographic sceneries) I downloaded two files at a time with DAP. The speed. was 116 kb/s and my internetconnection works exelent. The support though is a joke and casts a shadow over this otherwise fine product. :( KindlyJakob Arnholtz :(

No their downloads are not resumable. Considering the size of the files and the 7 days download account, this is not satisfactory ( to put it mildly!)KindlyJakob Arnholtz

...and I tried info@pcaviator.com. Lets hope for a fast reply. Jakob

I is a relief to her from you. I have tried to contact the downloadstore or support, but this cannot be done. All attepts are met with a ''Invalid e-mailadress! Please Correct'' message. I know I am using the correct e-mailadress, since I have logged in as a user. Interessting to know, that their files do not allow resume. That might explain, why my files are coorupted upon pause.I think the people at MegaSceneryEarth should prolonge the Download period, since the obviously are having problems with their servers. Alle the above mensioned annoyanceses aside, the product looks absolutely stunning. I have on the quiet looked at Salt Lake City, and I am deeply impressed. Bravo megasceneryEarth!!!KindlyJakob Arnholtz

I prefer Flight Environment XKindlyJakob Arnholtz
