Cool! Thanks Steve! Can't wait to test!

Checked and the problem only arises in Winter - nothing wrong in Summer. This problem has been reported before by rhumba on FSDeveloper...

Just some textures/ Land classes causing the problem.

Is there actually NOTHING to talk about??? - I thought not... Waiting for Flight's resurrection..

@majuh: Thanks for the info! Glad it isn't just me! @rhumbaflappy: Finally managed to get it done! Thanks for the help Dick! Some custom scenery from a raw .SHP file! What a result!!

Thanks Dick - I'm trying it out right now! P.S. Is it me or is the Addon Builder really laggy? It's taking long to register some content..

@rhumaflappy: Just tried it out but no success. I extracted everything with CVXExtractor, imported into SBuilderX and got an exported cvx*.bgl file. Everything seems to be correct. Something is wrong with the addon - how to I organise everything so that the default FSX cvx file is replaced? My folder structure is as follows - AddonFolder\Core\scenery\0303\scenery\cvx*.bgl Thanks again,

A great man left the world - his legacy, though, is everlasting. Thanks for your dedication, love and enthusiasm. Rest in peace Tom.

OK. Thanks Dick. I'll try it out again! I think I stopped because of the error below: "Conversion from string "" to type 'integer' is not valid" Need to find a solution to that too!

Honestly can't remember the last time I've been on Flight...Just so busy nowadays. -_- Development wise, I'm waiting on the shp2vec Patrick is developing on over at FSDeveloper - Hopefully I could port some custom scenery without all the hassle.

Haha...very melodramatic! Good community spirit. ^_^ @stonelance: I presume that you are right. They've got so much to do to! Most aren't even happy about MS Flight being redeveloped.

Nope, not many decided to answer the wake up call... I guess DTG will release the new sim quite late this year. They've just started looking for producers for their "Aviation products." Thought it could've come a bit sooner.... Oh well.

Subtle. Very Subtle.... ^_^

I tried creating a snow addon about a year ago but I remember it didn't for some unknown reason...got green clouds over Hawaii at night - possibly to do with the lighting.

What was the problem on the CMD? It seems that the addon wasn't created. Goto "C:\Users\ASRock\AppData\Local\Flight Tools\Flight Toolkit" and paste the contents of the ContentConverter.log here.

Can't take off.. Aircraft grounded! Awesome addon! No problems at all! Great Work!

Well done for getting it to work Jack! I'm also surprised that your FSX folder is named "Program Files (x86)" Well done also to mibmab for walking Jack through this! B)

What mibmab said, and you don't have to create the folder. Unfortunately, your FSX install folder is incorrect. Do you mean “D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Flight Simulator X”? In which case you need to write this into CMD: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flight Tools\Flight Toolkit\ContentConverter.exe fsx /i:" D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Flight Simulator X" /o:"C:\TEST" P.S. The output directory doesn't have to be named "TEST" you can give it your own name! Make sure you put spaces after "fsx" and the path. Everything is case sensitive so make sure you put the spaces in the right place. If you need to understand a little more, look at the following - use it for future reference.

Alright, I'll do that now...

I presume you will do that....

Hey Dick, I've been reading up on that myself and found some vectors from FSX to convert. I extracted the data using CVXExtractor and imported them into SBuilderX. Now when I compile the bgl only some of the vectors are missing. I'm only getting these vectors converted: Airport Bounds Hydro Polys Parks Roads ...and I'm missing everything else. QMID has been set to 11 and -ADDTOCELLS is false. And ideas as to what is going wrong? @mibmab: Thanks for that info! I looked at the maps and they are STUNNING! A really good tool for photoscenery as well!

As always - Nice screens and thanks for breaking the silence! B) Wishing you a speedy recovery,

No problem guys! ^_^

Hello Jack, Hmmm... there seems to be no problem with your DLC path. It's most likely to do with Norton acting up and deleting files whilst keeping registry values and "locking" up the "Temp" folder. I did have Norton before and it was a pain since it blocked everything and put it into quarantine. It sometimes does this with installers but I'm pretty sure that the Flight Toolkit doesn't contain viruses! I have put together some steps for you to follow, bear in mind that if Steve has any suggestions, it must be prioritised. Completely disable Norton 360 by going to the TaskBar. Right click on the Norton logo and "Disable Antivirus-Auto Protect" Download the installer again and try running it. If the problem still occurs goto Step 3 Check that you have access to your "C:\Windows\Temp" folder by right clicking the folder. Go to the security tab and make sure that "Administrators" has full control. If the third step doesn't resolve the problem, then inform us and I'll give you some further instructions. Wishing you a speedy recovery,

Nice to see you back Jack! How's things going?
