No, There's no online registration or activation required. They will install even without an internet connection. Out of the box no, As the ESI version 2.4 contained on the DVD's is FSX only. However a DVD essentially contains an ESI-Pack. So you could install ESI version 2.5 ( which has P3D and Steam Edition capability too) and direct it to the ESI-Pack contained on the DVD. Then it would install into P3D or steam.

The files are the same for each platform Keith, the only difference is the location ESI sends them to during install and where the scenery.cfg or similar files are located, So in answer...an ESI-Pack created with the FSX version of ESI can still be used by the P3D enabled version of ESI to install into P3D at a later date yes. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you to everyone who's commented in this tread with such kindness and understanding. Both Vikki and myself appreciate it very much. I'd just like to respond to some of the concerns raised regarding backups. It is possible to create backup ( esi-Packs) of any ES software you own. Once downloaded the ESI pack can be used to re-install your scenery should that need ever occur. The ESI pack you created is pre-configured with your valid serial code embedded. As such it does not require a connection to our servers to function. It doesn't even need an internet connection at all in fact. Our servers will remain active for at least a couple of months, but as mentioned we can't promise they'll stay active indefinitely. Vikki and I are committed to ensuring you are given every opportunity to safeguard your purchases from us, and as such we are continuing to man the ES helpdesk for at least the next couple of weeks to help anyone that gets in to difficulty. After that we will have to move on to pastures new, but we're not abandoning our moral responsibilities to our past customers in the meantime. Kindest regards Darren & Vikki

Just to add.....Earth Simulations Sceneries have a new Steam compatible installer ( and P3D) and are working well in FSX Steam edition.

Hi All Earth simulations would like to firstly wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! We would also like to let everyone know that we updated our installers to work in the following simulator platforms: P3D FSX Steam Edition and of course FSX Standard and Acceleration Kindest regards Darren & Vikki PS: If you haven’t taken advantage yet our Christmas gift to this year or haven't seen....we’re offering the award winning Alderney scenery for just £1.00 ( that's about $1.56 or 1.28 euro) There’s also some great savings to still be made with most of our sceneries at 50% off until 4th January 2015. Even our latest and largest Photogenesis & Autogenesis for North West Scotland (16000km²) is at 30% off.

Hi Just to let you know that our installer has been updated ( Version 2.5 ) and is now fully compatible with P3D 2.4 ( Also FSX Steam edition.)

Hi Oliver The "Demo" you're seeing is definitely not from the ES scenery. I suspect it is an old UK2000 scenery demo that's still active on your system. Firstly try to identify the conflicting scenery and deactivate it, and then when it's gone check the order of the ES activated folders in FSX scenery library too ES-3D ES-SFX Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Airports\ES-EGNS-Ronaldsway Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Airports\ES-X9JU-Jurby Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Airports\ES-X9AN-Andreas Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Airports\ES-IOM-Helipads Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Airports\ES-X9MR-MountRule Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-3D Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-TFX Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-SFX Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-FX Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Photo Isle Of Man\ES-IOM-Terrain

Great to see some videos. Thanks for making and posting them!

Hi Richard / John If you're happy with installing a scenery manually ( with instructions to follow ) send us a note via the ES helpdesk and I can sort that out for you.

Thanks to the last three posters, really pleased you like the screenshots. I'm generally not well known for my screenshot taking abilities :unsure: but it's such a beautiful area of the UK it's hard to go wrong. I've put the Autogenesis 3D feature list below, just in case you weren't yet aware of everything that's included...I think I'd be correct in still saying that this all amounts to the highest specification large scale (16,500km² ) photo real scenery ever developed for flightsim...or are there some others to compare it to now that I've missed appearing?

There's no huge frustration Chris, I've been mildly irritated by Petraeus's "opinion" ..but that's it. He'd always have an answer for anything I could possibly say I'm sure. Besides, anyone who's content to believe that a landclass based scenery is more real than our products are... well... is just plain wrong...simple as that. (In my own very humble opinion of course) and is never going to purchase anything from us because truly accurate scenery just isn't what they're looking for. Here's a selection of our own taken in FSX Clutch Cargo. Showing downloadable 60cm photoGenEsis and AutoGenEsis combined ( I should probably add that they're completely unedited) WARNING: The following images contain more than one shade of green. We accept no responsibility for the damage this might do to your eyesight!

Right Petraeus...with that being true, and also just because of the pointless time waste it is debating varying shades of green with you, is the reason I'm not playing. Your challenge should you wish to take it up, is to find us all a better Scottish highlands photo real scenery.

Hmmm I've played this game before Petraeus...you'll say it's saturated, I'll go off and Google a dozen images to show it's not.You'll find another dozen where the shades different again. Anyone can play..., it's fun if you've got nothing better to be doing with your life. :rolleyes:

Petraeus....have you looked lately at your profile picture? :rolleyes:

We'd rather not try to speculate on that 777, mainly because we don't want to raise expectations but also because it's almost impossible to give a meaningful answer. It'll all be as fast as we can possibly manage is all I can say. This is also our vision for the project Chris. It's just not humanly possible for ourselves to do all we're doing and to model a whole bunch of bespoke landmarks at the same time. But the addition of a few notable landmark buildings in amongst the more generic Autogenesis 3D will make each area as instantly recognisable as the Isle of Man project is now to anyone that's ever been there in real life. So when do you start?
