THANK YOU SO MUCHYour solution worked perfectly.I think the problem started when i uninstalled the MCE with "your uninstaller"Greatly Appreciated :(

Hi.I get this error massage:"A previous installation of Multi Crew Experience add-onhas been found!Please remove previous installation, via Windows control panel, before installing this one."There is no mce in control panel,no fsinsider.dll in fsx and there is no folder with that name either.I have removed xml.dll totallyjust for testing and that did not help either.What is it i'm forgetting here?Thanks in advancedWindows 7 64Flight simulator X

You made me a very happy man Rich.I also changed the blendmask and water mask in the info as you mentioned earlier and it helped a lot.------------------------------------------------------------------------[Destination]DestDir = E:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\FSEarthTiles\sceneryDestBaseFileName = Area_Lm1_SnapOff_N059545294_N059532629_E010443987_E010480247BuildSeasons = 1UseSourceDimensions = 1CompressionQuality = 80[source]Type = MultiSourceNumberOfSources = 4[source1]Season = SummerVariation = March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December,January,FebruaryType = BMPLayer = ImagerySourceDir = D:\FSEarthTiles\workSourceFile = AreaSummer_Lm1_SnapOff_N059545294_N059532629_E010443987_E010480247.bmpLon = 10.7444071769714 ;for top left and bottom right is: 10.8006906509399Lat = 59.9147075414658 ;for top left and bottom right is: 59.8906347155571NumOfCellsPerLine = 15738 ;Pixel is not used in FSXNumOfLines = 8975 ;Pixel is not used in FSXCellXdimensionDeg = 3.57627868652344E-06CellYdimensionDeg = 2.68220901489258E-06PixelIsPoint = 0SamplingMethod = PointChannel_BlendMask = 2.2 ;red channel, (note:green channel is the grey-info) The first number in 2.2 represents the source #.

Hi Richafter having gone through the CS5's entire user-manual and some practices first,I followed your guidance and got the most satisfactory result(for a rookie that is..).Regarding to make changes in "AREA.INFO",BGL to TIFF,wasn't necessary since editing:[source]Type = Custom TO this[source]Layer = ImageryType = tiff made RESAMPLERFSXSP2.EXE not starting at all.Maybe There is something i am doing wrong? .I have downloaded 336Gb of data until now.The file i have posted before is a test-bgl just made for avsim forum.Again i would like to send my gratitude for your efforts.Thank You

Hi Richwords can not describe how grateful I am for Your guidance.with your explanation above, I'll get this done, Guaranteed.Thank You

Hi Rich and thank you for your reply.Since you mentioned the Photoshop i was in store and got me one "Adobe Photoshop CS5"Meanwhile i will read the manual and make myself better known with the cs5 software.I don't know which program will be easiest to deal with.(Cs5 or Inkscape).But as Always appreciate your guidance

HiI got Fset working and downloading perfect,but i still have the problem with the water mask.The Fset user guide is very confusing.It only says draw the lines and name them and save them like this and that,but nothing about how to draw the lines in ex. inkscape...I have tried making KML files using Google Earth and saved them with Coast and deepwater names but still i get this:maybe fset does not see it even it is saved as areakml.kml in work folder....(see att. under)When i try to use the "inkscape" it does not do anything.Can someone please explain how to draw the coast lines and deep-waterlines in detail?(which pencil do i use to draw and how save them and so on)Thanks

Hi sunay.In many days i've tried GE and bing maps to reach a usable maps download without any success.However i was successful to find a very good map service which works very good with the tileproxy program.The area i am most interested in is North of norway.Here is a working tileproxy.ini service:[service Example 5]### Norwegian Service ### 1-24-10cache_folder=D:\TILECACHETILEPROXY\cache.service5network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=4.0|verbose=0|server=http://ts1*.webatlas.no|path=/qt_1881/%s.png?s=%v|quad=0123|balance=0123456|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"map_version=1min_level=9max_level=19#level_mapping=9,10,11,12,14,14,15,16,17,18,19#(JRG changed 12-18-09)#level_mapping=10,11,14,14,14,15,17,18#level_mapping=8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,19 even more radius in HQ (12,13->14)color_hack=Nocolor_level=0bulk_extend=100Is it possible to use such a service map in fsearthtiles?How can i do it?Thanks

Hi Rich and thank you for the perfect solutionRight now i am re-sampling the downloaded area and i must say it works perfectly.Thanks again

Hi Sunay.It didn't work for me,but thanks anyway

Hi Kevin.Thanks for your replyYou are so right.I purchased the chieftec psu 750W and as you mentioned it did not feet into the case so i had to return it.So no harm is doneUnfortunately i cannot return the pc to Dell due return policy but i have the 4years repair and support on it.......Thanks again

Hi Chris.Thank You so much for your solution.My catalyst was the latest one but after reading your advice and reinstalling the catalyst driver my shimmering was almost gone.I only have the shimmering in further away from my aircraft(flickering trees) But i can leave with thatThanks again
