Hi Thom.
There is a god after all ! Just had a quick flight around my beloved Ibiza and it looks absolutely superb. Unbelievable work and support from all you guys and I cannot thank you enough for you patience with my lack of experience with this software. It is always great to know someone will give up their free time to help a stranger.
Steve.
Thanks to everyone for their help but no success unfortunately. Still showing default scenery. Going to give it a break for now.
Steve.
Hi there. See attached screenshot.
Thanks again Michael. I am really sorry to be a pain but appreciate your help.
I will just need to keep trying.
All the best
Steve
Thank Michael. I have set mines up exactly like your now except mines is D drive instead of E. Still no luck unfortunately. It will not load the custom scenery only the default FS4. Do I have to disable the stock FS4 scenery somehow? Is there some hidden option in the FS4 UI to select custom scenery?
Steve.
Michael do you have to select anything different in the game? Should there be an other option for custom scenery?
I am using windows 10 incidentally. I am out of ideas now.
Steve..
As a correction it is the satellite imagery on the ground I am talking about. Sorry for the confusion.
Steve.
Hi Michael. Yes it is the default landscape that is showing. I have copied all user scenery for the Balearics to my D: drive and created the folder structure as advised in the wiki page eg D:/Aerofly FS 4 Simulator addons/scenery/Balearics/images.
All the image files are in there. I have also altered the Main.mcf file to read :
<[string8][extra_user_folder][D:\Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator Addons\scenery]>
What I do not understand is how to select the user added scenery while in the game. Every time I open it the default scenery is showing. I seem to be going round in circles and it is becoming very frustrating. Is there any advise you can give me as this is all new to me?
Thanks
Steve
Than you for your swift response. I have searched that page already and cannot find where it tells you how FS4 will load the user files instead. Do you select the from within the locations page in Fs4 or somewhere else. It must be something simple I am missing. I have double checked my user scenery file locations and they are in the correct place. I do not understand why Fs4 is not seeing them. Do I need to disable the default 'eu folder somehow?
Steve..
@IZOJUB 'Its a long path as follows: SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator/scenery/images/__eu'
This does not work for me sadly. FS4 keeps loading the default scenery. Do you have any idea why this would be?
Thanks
Hi there I am new to this method of copying FS2 scenery files over to FS4 and I am getting nowhere unfortunately. I have copied all the scenery files to the 'documents/Aerofly fs4/addons/scenery/balearics/' folder. I have just spent the last 5 hours trying to find out how to get them to work in FS4. When I load the game it is the default scenery I see not the user created ones. Can you please advise me how to get them to load in the game. I have the Fs4 deluxe package with US and Europe plus the extra planes.
Your help would be very much appreciated as I am getting nowhere.
Steve...
