ANA2527

I do have the appropriate area activated. Last night I noticed on the Scenery.cfg file it contained "D:\Flight Simulator 9\addon scenery\" in the line for VTBS. The other addon sceneries didn't include "D:\Flight Simulator 9\" in the address line. Those sceneries had "Addon Scenery\(Scenery Name)". I removed it, but it made no difference. I only mentioned the greyed out boxes in the AFCAD Airport Properties because the sceneries that show up in the Airport ID display are greyed out (however the text is still visiable). The one that's not greyed out is the AFCAD for VTBS. I wondered if the greyed out meant it's saved properly? Very puzzling. Mike

Thanks for the comments and ideas. I did redownload the scenery from Simmarket and installed it. It came with an update that I installed. The comment from Dijvid got my attention. I did checkout the AFCAD using ADE1.65 and noted when I checked out airport properties, the text boxes were white but had the proper texts in it. Using ADE 1.65 to look at some of my other scenery AFCADs, I noted those text boxes were greyed out. I wonder if this could be the problem? If so, how do I get the boxes to grey out? Thanks, Mike

Has anyone experienced installed scenery not showing when searching the "Airport ID" from the main menu, but when flying it's active in the game? I installed A_A Sceneries Bangkok Airport Vol 1, Suvarnabhumi International, and activated it via internet as directed. At the main page, when I access the "selected location" and type VTBS into the "Airport ID" it doesn't show up. However, I can fly to VTBS and the scenery is there. I can land at the airport and slew around looking at the terminals and AI Aircraft parked, taking off, and landing. While parked, I even tried searching via "Go to Airport" and it still doesn't show up. I've never experienced this before. So far, I have tried and had no success: 1. Uninstalled and reinstalled the scenery several times. 2. Added the scenery manually. 3. Ran "MakeRwys". VTBS shows in the "Runways.txt" document. 4. Deactivated all my add-on sceneries except for VTBS. 5. Moved VTBS to the top. 6. Ran Flight1 RegistryFix. 7. Deleted Scenery.dat file. 8. Ensured the Licence file for the scenery was present. 9. Contacted A_A Sceneries 10. and even RTFM. Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, what did you do to fix it? I'm not having this problem with my other scenery. Thanks, Mike Franks

Wow!!! I went to the website Dumont referenced above and used their calculator to figure out my affinity mask and it made a big difference. I never understood AM, and still don't, but I plugged in their recommedation to my FSX Config file and my frame rates shot up. For example, flying over UK2000's Heathrow in the default ultralight, with default weather, my frame rates were 25-77 depending on location. Normally, it's between 13-25 and sluggish. I think I'll keep this link and recommendation. Thanks for the tip! Mike

ImagineSim's products aren't bad, but I think they're asking too much. There's other designers who give you a lot more detail and quality for your money. I'm glad we have the freedom to choose. Mike

No doubt, this is going to get fun. I wonder how many red boxes he has to deal with in his sceneries? Mike

It's disappointing they don't honor the agreements the company made under previous ownership. I'm sure they have no obligation to do so. I'll never use them again. They got my money once. As previously pointed out in the post, the best we can do is post our views and hope others read it. Mike

I just bought it. Too good to pass up. Mike

I don't know if Justin is still part of FSGenesis, but the owners should still honor the previous purchases. We did buy them. It's not like they're a new product. If you have a "lifetime membership", then you have a "lifetime membership"! That needs to be honored! Mike

Good to see I'm not alone here. I too spent lots of money buying Justin's product when he was pleading for financial support or he would immediately go out of business. I see how he repays us...refuses to honor his previous commitments. Hopefully others will learn from us in this thread and not fall for Justin's business practice. Disappointing! Mike

I'm impressed with the amount of AI traffic I now have by just changing my setting to 40%. I've been simming for 12 years and this is the first time I've change the AI setting to less than 100%. I feel my airports are fuller at 40% than it was with 100%. Really impressed! Mike

Thanks Ian for the reminder about ACA2005. At Gatewick I always had this 757-200 without a texture and I could not find it to save my life. I used ACA2005 and within seconds I found my answer. I fixed it and now I don't have to search for it or sit and wait for it to take off so I could figure out what airline (it was Dallo Airlines). Mike

Thank you Umberto! That fixed the problem. I appreciate the quick response on Christmas day.Mike

***FIXED*** My problem had to do with the updated FSDT Zurich 2.5 scenery. If I activate it, then the gate shows up. When I don't activate the scenery, the gate goes away. I guess I won't be doing any flights from KSEA to LSZH :)I'll bring this up at the FSDT Forum.Thanks,Mike

No, I'm not using AES. Maybe it wasn't the scenery from KORD interfering with KSEA. However, I do remember reading about another scenery interfering with KSEA. Unfortunately, I don't recall what the scenery was or the fix.Thanks for the reply,Mike
