Okay so I hope that I am able to have this make sense because this is extremely confusing to explain. So a few weeks ago I downloaded Imaginesims Atlanta scenery for FSX and I had a TON of trouble trying to install it and after awhile I gave it up as a lost cause. So then a couple of days ago I decided that I would try and install it again. So I read through the manuals and scoured the internet and I finally figured out what I had done wrong. After successfully installing it I went up to my FSX tool bar and clicked on "Add-ons" and I found to my horror that everything was gone off of that tab, Couatl, GSX, Addon Manager, Ultimate Traffic 2, etc. The only thing that remained was something called "FSUIPC." I wondered if this would affect my game and it sure did, a lot. So I went to one of my installed sceneries and found out that all the buildings were missing, and the same thing for all the addon airports that used Couatl. It has happened to me before so I was thinking that I'd be able to fix the problem. So I also checked to see if my addon planes were also fine. I loaded up my Quality wings 757 only to find out that all the panels are missing, and outside the airplane some of the landing gears were missing and the flaps were down with the spoilers up. I loaded up my PMDG 737 and the same thing happened (except that there was nothing wrong with the outside of the plane). I am really at a loss here, I have no idea what to do and I don't want to mess with anything to mess it up further. Any help is appreciated! If you need me to elaborate on anything don't hesitate to ask. Thank you!

I have a problem with ZSPD Shanghai P3dV4. There are some black textures like I show you in screenshot. Can you help me, I dont know why this black texture. https://ibb.co/chLjS7

Well, I went ahead and bought it, as a previous owner of the scenery I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a discount for existing customers- but I wasn't going to let it prevent me from seeing ATL in 2012 standards. Anyway, I plonked myself on the north side of the airfield at a GA position, I ended up in a heap of cargo pallets, alongside a cessna caravan which had suffered a similar fate, sitting in boxes. Now I removed the previous version from my scenery library, but have yet to fully uninstall, so perhaps there is a problem with the 2 AFCADs getting along, so I won't blame this problem on the new version just yet, still more testing to do regarding that. I began at dawn, took a quick look around and there were things I liked a lot, and disliked, the animated vehicles that scamper about the aprons hunting for aircraft were very well lit, the headlights were excellent; Then there was the abyssal darkness found here and there, for such a large airport I was expecting more light, what was lit, was lit well but I was hoping to see some more interesting night lighting effects, none to be found it seemed; The terminals themselves were only marginally better than their predecessors from 4 years ago, nothing wrong with them, but room for improvement; The airport background has clearly been updated in most areas, a very welcome site and one that I enjoyed very much, very well done and it certainly improves the overall appearance of the airport from the air; The new international terminal has been included, and I have honestly not seen any photos of this as it stands in the real world (just haven't been bothered to look tbh) - it looks pretty good in the scenery, the apron left room for improvement, seems quite bland and wanting of additional detail; The modelling is good, background imagery is quite poor, I found this quite surprising; As I mentioned earlier, the updated background imagery in most areas looks very good, I really wish they had done more with the taxiways, runways and aprons though, all of which have this bland appearance which could easily be rectified with just a few HD textures; My frames were not terrific, I typically see 45+ with FlyTampa, FSDT, LatinVFR, Tropicalsim etc. and here I was looking at around 20FPS. Could this be the reason? I appreciate cars as much as the next aircraft pilot, but you would be hard pressed to find this many in all of the FlyTampa sceneries combined. :lol: Carparks on final, highways, the traffic holding short of the runway, I wasn't surprised to see less frames, I was surprised to see 20 less frames though. Well, this just doesn't look quite right. If they followed the roads it would look excellent; I am left with mixed emotions with this, I believe it is undoubtedly an improvement over v1- but is it a 27USD improvement? This is only 1 dollar and 30 cents less than most FlyTampa sceneries, and the quality isn't comparable. FSDT sceneries are significantly more expensive, nearly 8 USD, but the quality is once again, far superior. I don't think we will be seeing a new ATL version for quite some time, if at all, by any other developer, so this is it for now, and in that respect, I would recommend it absolutely. It is a commendable effort of a difficult airport to tackle, good effort Imaginesim. Can you see yourself buying this? Questions? Let me know.

I have a Problem with my ImagineSim Shanghai ZSPD, one Terminal Building looks perfectly fine while the other one is pretty much completely black except the jetways. I`ve reinstalled the scenery many times but haven`t found any solution to my problem yet. Here are some screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1313868765 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1313868877 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1313868958

Evening all.... I think sadly I made a mistake by buying KATL. It is one of my favorite airports and after downloading SODE, saw it as another airport worth having simply for the SODE jetways... Am I wrong or isnt the new KATL 2016 SODE enabled... If so, how do I enable it. I know that Tropical Sim's SAEZ was updated but you had to change a file in its folder to get it to work... easy process. Can anyone please tell me.. Is KATL equipped with SODE gateways? If so, how many? if not all and which ones? As of this moment, I have downloaded, installed and activated KATL 2016, GSX works fine (It is the latest) but no SODE functionality... No jetway animation at all.. Thanks Flyboy53

Dear all, I was wondering if someone has managed to use imaginesim wsss flawlessly with P3D v2, I tried mine but I see no buildings only jetways. I looked into V2 master compatibility list but no info on WSSS was given, Thanks. Hendrik

I am currently using an addon airport VIDP from ImagineSim and having problems with the ILS glideslope. I will try to add as many pictures and screenshots as I can to describe my problem. Everytime I try to land on any runway, the glideslope brings me down much before the runway starts. This is valid for all the runways. Even on FSCommander 9.1 the ILS feathers show the glideslope touching down before the runway. Here is an image of how it looks on FSCommander: I dont know whether this is an issue with the PMDG FMC database and/or the FSX navigation/GPS database or the airport addon itself is misconfigured, Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I purchased the Imagine Sim scenery for VIDP yesterday. The problem I am facing is that there are trees in the middle of one of the runways. To be more precise, in the middle of the main runway, 29-11. Can anybody help me remove these so that i can use the scenery? I would like to mention : 1) I bought a new system and installed FSX on the same day as i installed the imagine sim scenery. So there is no other payware/freeware existing scenery that might overlap. 2) Just to give a background : The default scenery does not contain rwy 29-11 as this is a new runway and was built recently. Probably due to this reason, the default scenery has trees where rwy 29-11 is supposed to be. And when i load the imagine sim VIDP airport, the default scenery does not get suppressed and is overlapping with the payware scenery. Any help or solution to this problem would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if i can provide any further information. I have attached pictures to give you a better idea of my problem Thanks! P.S : I am all for the environment and even though removing trees is not a wise idea, as you can guess, i would not like to land my aircraft in the middle of a forest

Somehow Prepar3d keeps "forgetting" in the scenery library where the ImagineSim Atlanta scenery files are. The file location is never listed. Next time I loaded Prepar3d, I got this message. Eventually Prepar3d deactivates it. This is very frustrating. A manual install of the scenery results in no textures for the Atlanta airport area. Is there a fix for this?

Hey guys So, in the continued search for a better FSX experience, I added some SweetFX tweaks to the Sim and came up with some pretty satisfactory results. This time I took the PA A320 (still learning how to fly the Aerosoft one) for a spin on Delta Airlines Flight 1407 between KATL and KCLT.

Hello everyone! (First post on AVSIM FORUM YAY) :Party: Anwyays, I want to buy Imaginesim VIDP. It's only FSX compatible, but using estonia migration tool has anyone got it to work in P3D V2.4? Thank you.
