Truk Scenery

I installed the original Truk Scenery by Jean Bomber. Followed the read me instructions to the letter but it won't show up. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
 
Did you put the files into a folder that needs to be activated through the scenery library? If you did, then just:

From your menu (alt key) go to the Options>Scenery Library>Add and then use the drop down window to add your new folder with the new files for Truck.

If you put the files into an already active folder (ie. Scenery>World>Scenery) then perhaps if you delete the .dat file for the folder you will see the new scenery. CFS 2 will rebuild the .dat file with the new scenery added, so don't worry about discarding it.

I put the "AtollTruk" and "TrukIslands" Folders in my Scene B folder at step 5 after completing steps 1 -4, I then activated them through my scenery library. I have also deleted all my Dat Files associated with this install. Still they don't show up. Did I not do something that was not mentioned in the read me file? I've put different sceneries in many times and this is the first time this has happened.
 
If the problem is that the you can't find the airfields in the Free Flight list to get there, they're not listed as Truk, but Moen, Param and Eten (stock game airfields).

If the problem is something else... forget this post :mixedsmi:.
 
Thanks so much for the possible solution. I'm at work right now but will check it out tommorow. I'll let you know what happens. Your were right in that I was looking for a location named "Truk" but didn't see it.
 
I don't know how to do it, but it would be very helpful to have the stock airfield list changed to more specific names that allow for better identification, like Truk-Moen or Rabaul-Lakunai. I think most people is not very familiar with many of those names.
 
Yep that was it however the scenery doesn't quite look like it's suppose to. I'll play around with it a bit.
 
Boy I wish mine looked like that! Mine has lots of large squares as viewed from around 5000 ft. Something isn't right. Any advice would help. Thanks.
 
The large green and brown square stuff is related to copying textures into other CFS2 folders.

step 3
CUSTOM LINES
Place the two texture bmps waveshoresu.bmp and coralsu.bmp in your ...\Combat Flight Simulator 2\SCENEDB\world\texture

and (VERY IMPORTANT)

in your...\Combat Flight Simulator 2\TEXTURE

This is the usual solution for the large square problem. If it doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

Try copying the textures from the CFS2 Scenedb/ World / Textures forlder to the main CFS2 Textures folder and see if that fixes the prob. :wavey:

Beautiful!!!!!! Shadow, thanks so very much!! That was the problem!! Thank you again!! What great looking scenery!
 
Both JB and Dog1 Scenerys are great

why dont you install my TRUK? it comes with the overhauled IJA bases and a lot more.its in the archives under DOG1.

I run both. The JeanB scenery in one install and DOG1 in another. No question DOG1 has the best land bases and ships in his scenery, but you simply can't beat JeanBomber's ocean colors and reefs. They are magnificent. I tried combining PacBlues with JB's scenery but it never looked right.

I wish I could combine the ocean scenery from JB and the land bases from Dog1, but even if it were possible I expect that would be a bridge too far for me.

jean bombers scenery is incorporated in my install,i thought it all appeared together with pactex as a base offcourse.

i wish Pen 32Win and others would develope new IJA AA to replace the old ugly default ones as per my previous thread so we could have real anti air effect during missions with adjustable and working AI.
 
My mistake!

I just get in a hurry sometimes and don't follow the fine print. The reference to JB's scenery is right there just at Dog1 stated. The link is blown, but the reference where to get it at SOH is enough. Looks good too. Won't wonders never cease?
