377307 2005-08-09 05:10:00 Plus you'll want Stock's Landclass files, which make the defacto terrain textures match up better with the actual features of NZ (forests where there are forests, for exmaple):

Dowloaded these files but how do I get them into FS9?

377308 2005-08-09 05:16:00 Thanks Jack, Though I don't think I will be needing them now, I'm afraid after a couple of hours of the game I was bored beyond wanting to play it any more.

:D We should have run a betting pool on this. Although I doubt many would have put money down on you finding FS to your liking for an extended period. You just don't strike me as a FS kinda guy ....

377309 2005-08-09 05:20:00 Dowloaded these files but how do I get them into FS9?

By reading the readme.text that is included in the download. I'll reproduce the relevant section here for your edification:

"Installation:

Create a new folder (or use the 'scenery addon' folder). Create a subfolder named 'scenery'. It is important that there is NO texture folder, otherwise it won't work! Unzip the files into the scenery folder. Start MSFS and add the scenery via the menu. Add the sceneries and mark the one you want to use as active. If you want to change, deselect the active scenery and select a new one (or deselect everything to use the default scenery).

Alternatively, you also may add these files to the mesh scenery if you want. Again, make sure that there is NO texture folder!"

Don't believe you. It was the land class file thatshifted the Ak. bridge. I removed land class and the bridge went back where it was supposed to be.

I use Christian's Landclass, and Robin's Auckland scenery and my AK bridge has stayed put.

Yet with mine it is definately the LC that is causing it. I've tried loading the files in different orders but always end up with same result.

Must be my silly computer. Time I got a new one I think.

The bridge doesn't really move, the coastline does. When the landclass has a higher postion in the Scenery Library it removes the photoreal scenery, leaving the default coastlines. The normal solution is to move the landclass down the list (effectively giving it a higher priority) in the Scenery Library. I should really put a few screenshots on the Auckland City FAQ to show how to do this.

Cheers Robin for that clarification.

377315 2005-08-09 09:52:00 They barrel-rolled a 747 during protoype testing, saw it on a TV doco about the development of the 747 and it was pretty unbelievable. I reckon you could loop one, but the investment is a bit much for experimenting. :eek:

A Sunderland would probably have looped if you dived it to get up speed. They were built real strong so I doubt that the wings would have dropped off!

Try looping one and see what it can do, I'd love to know if FS will let it happen.

Cheers

And it works. Just like Robin said it would.
