I started on this project and I'm making great progress. But as always there is a pesky problem: one of the buildings has clouds in front of it. Any ideas?

Hi Cees,
I think its just a texture issue. Have you tried saving in a different format, Fs9 does not use certain ones that FSX does. Simple 16/32 bit tex will do...you know this I know...just ideas.
Check where that scenery is on your scenery installation list, maybe try moving it.

No, it's not a texture issue, not in that way. I read somewhere that double sided textured polygons have this effect in FS9.
I'll make a hangar with walls derived from boxes.
We'll see.

A workaround: went back to FSSC (Flight Simulator Scenery Creator) by Derek Leung, used the old Schiphol 1940 file to export only two api-files, et presto! No more pesky clouds. The left hangar in the first screenie still has the clouds in front of it, this is a mdl, the right one is an api-file.

It's the same with some portovers in which case the prop is always behind the clouds.

Cees,
I never had the cloud issues when I worked on the conversion I originally started from CFS2 over to FS9.
I've noticed that API's drop my frames by almost 1/2 in most sceneries that have them -- at least at longer distances. It's probably my older computer.
I've sent you the stuff I'd worked on with the CFS2 conversion so you can try the library objects from there. You can disregard the rest since you probably have better stuff now anyway.
Check your PM's.
Saludos!

I use only two api's, but anything is welcome. I struggled today to get a ground poly in FS9, only to find that deactivating the aireal photo of Amsterdam does the job.

I'm looking for scenery depicting people that would fit in the fourties?

Cees,
There are several people libraries in the CalClassic Static Object Library. I believe the library is up to V4 by now and it's available at Flightsim. The people are more towards the 1950's and early 1960's (everything from airline crew and staff to taxi drivers and passengers), and mostly for U.S. scenery -- though for Europe it could also work.
You can also contact some of the authors of the various European cities/airports and see if you can use some of their libraries as well. I believe the Belgium and France airports may have dedicated people libraries, but can't remember now.
I know that the Southeast Asia scenery has a library of people dressed in typical clothing for Vietnam, while the Lydda (Tel Aviv) scenery has folks dressed in traditional clothing at the terminal as well.
If I can think of anything else I'll let you know.
Now back to work.
