Kind regards, Michael

Thank you so much I was getting crazy!

Probably in the next version of the Manual, the author could add a small section about its installation. I was also lost at the beginning.

Cheers, Ed

I have downloaded and installed Aeroscenery, I continued with steps 1 to 8 apparently correctly, but in step 9, I can't find 'start' to continue. What was I supposed to do wrong?

This is the image I have of Aeroscenery right in this traffic jam.

Grandson, you have inspired me to download Aeroscenery. Have you had no problem at this point?

If you confirm the settings with "OK" and return to the main window, "Start" is on the l.h.s. below "Install Scenery in AFS Scenery folder". It might be invisible for you as the lower part of AeroScenery is hidden by the task bar, just raise it a bit.

Kind regrads, Michael

Hi Michael

In my previous post, for lack of time I could not finish it or send the image that I accompany here.

I suppose that the "Start" to which we both refer, is an integral part of Aeroescenery, (and not Windows). In this case, I don't see that 'button' anywhere. I wonder what I did wrong, so that it is not visible. Let's see if in view of this image, you illuminate my dark tunnel.

All fields filled with Aeroscenery, in your opinion, are correctly filled, both in this image and in the previous one?

Kind regards: Delfin

P.S. The system told me that this file is too big. I will try a smaller copy

The "Start" button is of course a part of the program itself.

See the lower left. It's grey right now as no tile is selected yet.

I am still afraid it's hidden by the task bar in your case. Just try to make the program window smaller so it fits completely into the screen. And of course confirm the settings screen with "OK".

Kind regards, Michael

Again with you, Michael

I regret these setbacks for my lack of experience in these matters

The file of the full screen image is = 1.7 MB. The system only supports = 1 MB. As I do not reduce those 1.7 MB to less than 1 MB. I have copied only part of the map, which in any case, I suppose is enough to analyze my problem.

Does that image help you to discover where my mistake is?

I apologize for having to solve a certain problem that is very simple, but you know: "the first time, it is always difficult, although for the experienced it is very simple."

Ya veo que has deducido lo que te iba a preguntar: "que me enviaras una imagen tuya" . Nada que ver con la mia.

I think the fields are properly filled, but from your screen shot (seen in full size) I still feel the lower part of the program is hidden under the taskbar.

First make sure the Program is in windowed mode. Click once upon the little box in the upper right, if it isn't.

You may then try to shrink the program window by gripping the upper left corner with the mouse and shifting that corner to the right/bottom. Afterwards, you should be able to grip the (now smaller window) and shift it to the top so that the upper end with the Start button will become visible.

Kind regards, Michael

I have not used AeroScenery so far, but looking at all those questions, there's an user manual somewhere?.

The assumption is that it is so easy to use a Cave Man can do it.

The manual is here

which actually should be sufficient for experienced users. An outstanding and comprehensive guide was contributed by crispy136

You were right in the reduced window. I did what you suggested: (from upper left corner, deduce it. Then dragging up, but fails to discover "start".

I suspect that for some reason, this program is not installed correctly. Tonight, I will reinstall it again.

A detail has been happening to me since I have been fighting with this program: all the icons on the desktop were misplaced several times, something that very rarely happened to me. Will it have something to do with this installation?

Thank you very much for your dedication, Machael.

Kind regards:

I have been using a free tool called "Desksave" for locking and saving the positions of the icons for many years now. Earlier, I had them jumping around occasionally indeed.

Kind regards, Michael

Good night, Michael

I am quite blocked because the new download and inhalation attempt does not work for me.

Abusing your confidence and avoiding asking you many questions, I am going to:

1st) .- Expose yourself as I did (and it doesn't work; I can't install it)

2) .- Ask you to give me a brief summary of how it is installed (which Aeroscenery file I must click) for the installation to be done.

After downloading and decompressing Aeroscenery_master, I proceeded according to this directory tree

C: \ Users \ Delfin \ Documents \ Aerofly FS 2 \ Aeroscenery \ aerofly_fs_2_sdk_tool

In the previous time, I think I had created a subfolder of "Aerofly fs 2" with the name of Aeroscenery, and in which I copied Aeroscenery, but without "_master".

Attached I send you the current directory tree. The 3 files in the Aeroscenaryinsataler folder, {Aerosceneryinstaler.sin; Aerosceneryinstaler.wax; and Aerosceneryinstaler.wixpro,} should be (one of them), the one that allows me to install it. Well, I can't do it. Obviously something I did wrong.

How did I previously install Aeroscenery?

I clicked on enough files, and I don't know exactly how they worked.

I beg you to write the directory tree with its subdirectories in the answer you send me.

I know this is a lot to ask, but I think you know this process very well, so I take this freedom.

Thank you very much in advance

Kind regards: Delfin

This is completely wrong and not an executable.

The Executable is linked in the first contribution of this thread (page 1). Right mouse click the link, save it in a proper directory. Its name is aeroscenery-1.1.0-beta.zip.

Next, unpack it. This should get you the following folder structure:

Click Aeroscenery.exe.

Kind regards, Michael

Hi Nick

Looks like you have been hard at work on AeroScenery. Some really great enhancements. Thanks. Loved that ability to alter the brightness and contrast, and install and delete files so easily. The extra map tile selection sizes give greater flexibility. Lots of extra features, so I'll eventually update my instruction manual to reflect the new options and operations.

Have been doing some testing using the updated AeroScenery and have a couple of comments.

1. Install Scenery (selection button above map window). This works well and the only enhancement I would like to see is the ability to select multiple map tiles, which would then all have their scenery installed once the "Install Scenery" button is clicked. I tend to process scenery tiles in batches of areas around airports or towns, so multiple selections are the default.

2. Install Scenery (in Actions section). Thought this might solve the multiple install issue from 1 above, but I can't figure out how it works. The Install Scenery option in the Actions area only becomes selectable after the GeoConvert process has completed. But having then selected this option (with all other options deselected, since they have already been run) and then clicking start doesn't do anything. So not sure how this is used, as it can't be selected unless the full process has been completed.

3. Delete files button. Once again this works well and the only enhancement I would like to see is the ability to select multiple tiles, which would then all have their files deleted once the "Delete Files" button is clicked.

4. Empty images. It is great to have more image sources available. I found the watermarks on Google rendered them useless, while Bing had no watermarks, but as it was much older data often had inconsistent colouring in regional areas, caused by time related imagery, that had to be manually corrected. For Australia at least ArcGIS gives the best of both worlds, with no watermarks and consistent colour quality. The only issue I have with ArcGIS is that missing images downloaded as a default image are not treated as transparencies. It is some time since I last worked on AeroScenery but I thought that this was possible for Bing at least. I seem to recall that you must enable masks in order for the transparencies to work, but had no luck with masks enabled or not. The screenshot only the left is from the raw file (appears the same in Aerofly) and the image on the right an actual downloaded default image used where ArcGIS has no data.

5 Alignment - you mention that there might be alignment issues with ArcGIS images, but my limited testing indicates ArcGIS images align correctly.

6. GeoConvert wrapper - This works effectively. The only issue I encountered was that the focus continually changes to the GeoConvert window, meaning you can't use your PC for other stuff while GeoConvert is running, even if your PC has sufficient free resources. I assume this focus change is so that the GeoConvert wrapper can operate and that is fine.

Hi

This morning i tried to create the level 15 tiles for the tiles I already created in the last two days for level 9, 11,12,13,14. Unfortunately even having checked only AFSlevel 15, i creates the whole level 9 - 14 again. It ignores level 15.

Maybe you have unselected the TMC generation step ? (je me suis déjà fait avoir avec ça ;p)
