I have three issues all focusing on England and flight plans. 1. I am trying to load a flight plan where the starting airport is in England, but the FS2004 Flight Planner will not load it. It will load flight plans when the starting airport is outside of England, for example in Germany. I have created these flight plans using Plan-G. 2. Furthermore, when I try to create a flight plan using the FS2004 Flight Planner, I cannot SAVE the flight plan when the starting airport is in England. 3. I created a flight plan, again using Plan-G where the starting airport was in Germany and it terminated in England. About half way through that flight my FS2004 CTD. I looked in the Events Viewer and saw the error and it listed the TERRAIN.DLL as being the problem. What I have attempted to do: I have UT-Europe installed. I have tried to disable it, but that did not resolve anything. I have deactivated all of my aircraft with the exception of one, and that wasn't the issue. Using my Scenery Config Editor, I deactivated all of my scenery for the UK and surrounding countries - that didn't resolve anything. Just as a side note - at first, as soon as I tried to use the FS2004 Flight Planner my FS2004 would CTD. I did find one file in my FS2004/SCENERY/EURW/Scenery folder that was corrupt, and replaced it. That eliminated the CTD problem. I am running my FS2004 on a Windows 10 computer. I have plenty of memory and hard drive space. I sure would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer. I have been fight this issue for the past week. Thank you, very much. Harry

Chris_eve, I had another airport in PNG that I eventually deactivated due to gross corruption. It had a line of ships/docks/sea planes, etc. adjacent to the airport which is fine with the exception they were all about a mile or so inland 😒. I even tried to exclude the ships, but wasn't successful. Last night, I woke up thinking about the scenery and began wondering if the scenery would still be corrupt having activated ASIA? I got up early, reactivated the airport, and low-and-behold, the ships/docks/sea planes were all in the water where they belonged. Now I am a real happy camper 😄😄. Just wanted to pass that on. Hope your weekend is going great. Have a great week. Harry

I think for now, I am just going to fly for a while. I am so tired of trying to fix scenery. Thanks for the info on LWMViewer however. I will consider that in the days ahead. And I strongly suspect what you said about Asia scenery covering most if not all of PNG area is absolutely correct. After all - what's good for the goose and good for the gander 😀 Best wishes. Harry

Chris_eve, you are a genius!!! Bottom line - the shore lines are fixed. Now for the details - According to the real-world information, PNG is part of the Oceania region. In FS9, when you select Port Moresby (AYPY), PNG, the FS9 airport data shows the COUNTRY/REGION as Papua New Guinea. Now, here is the coup-de-grace - I discovered through trial-and-error that it is the ASIA default scenery that controls the shore lines for PGN (I don't known what else in PNG it controls.) I did not have that scenery activated as I have never flown in Asia - surprise, surprise. By the way, I discovered that by working though all of your suggestions. Thanks again, my friend. Best wishes. Harry

Once again, I am back asking for some help. In flying around PNG, I made a "horrible mistake." I did a TOP DOWN view and what I saw really freaked me out. All of the shore lines are 90-degree angles. And it only occurs with the PNG scenery. I have realigned my scenery library contents, I deactivated all of my packages for PNG, and I even reinstalled the CAB file for OCEN from disk 4 of FS2004. And nothing I have tried works. Any thoughts or suggestions will certainly be welcomed. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend. Harry

Guys, the problem has been fixed. I got into the ADE software this morning and did some excludes and low-and-behold, once all of the autogen stuff was gone, the airport scenery came to life. So, my problem has been solved. Thanks, Chris-eve, for the explanation of the Wayback Machine. I will take a look at it today and bookmark it for future reference. I know in the past there have been some scenery packages needed that were no longer available. Don't ask me what they were because I don't remember 🤔. Thank you all for your help and insights. Harry

Chris_eve, I have no idea what the WayBack Machine is. So, no, I am using my normal web browser. John, I have installed that full package without any difficulty. The real issue I am having is trying to install the Port Morseby (AYPY) scenery. When I installed it, all I could see was the edge of runway 35 - nothing else except autogen scenery. A friend of mine provided a flattening BGL which enabled me to at least see the runways, however, the airport scenery itself is totally missing. And trees are all over the place, not to mention a couple of misplaced buildings. While the package you mentioned contains AYPY, it did not make any modifications to the airport. Thank you both for your help - I am open to any further suggestions you might have. Best wishes. Harry

I am in the process of installing a bunch of FS9 scenery for PNG. However, one of the scenery packages that I need is the terrain mesh and landclass for PNG. I have no idea what the file name(s) is. If anyone has it, I would certainly appreciate your sharing it with me. The URL site that had that package is no longer active. Thank you. Harry

This issue was resolved by Bob uninstalling his UTUSA and reinstalling it. He had the same shoreline issues with other areas unrelated to FREEflow Florida. Harry G.FREEflow.Com

Hey, Mike. It worked!! :( :( :( B) Thanks.ATBHarry

David, again, my sincere thanks. I will download that app today and get it installed. I really appreciate your and Mike's help with this.ATBHarry

Mike, thank you for your quick reply. Knowing that, I'll press on with creating the flight plans and not worry about the limitations within the Traffic Explorer. BTW, I clicked on your link and got a "page not found" error. Just thought I'd let you know.ATB.Harry

I have created several flights using TTools. Short flights, such as a series of touch & gos, I have no problem with. I can "hook" onto them via the Traffic Explorer and follow them completely around the circuit from start-up to shut-down. However, when I start a flight lasting 30+ minutes, approximately 13 minutes into the flight, the AI airplane disappears, it drops out of the Traffic Explorer, and my flight returns to my departure airport with the spot view upon my own airplane.I am running FS2004 on a Windows 7/Home Premium 64bit system with plenty of memory and a 1GB graphics card.I have read all of the documentation that I can find both for AFCAD,TTools, and the TTools SDK program and I haven's seen anything that would clarify this situation. I have also had my flight plans examined by a extremely knowledgeable individual regarding creating AI flight plans and he has assured me there is nothing wrong with them.I have tried this using different departure/arrival times, different departure/arrival airports, I even tried it with the @ preceding my arrival time.I would sure appreciate any insight anyone can offer.Thank you.Harry
