A picture of the base

Here is a sample of what I am talking about when I just installed the zara_x scenery and not the agn files (If I add those agn files to the azra_z texture folder, I get same results.

Note trees in runway.......

The agn files (with the \texture\ folder) must be parallel to the \scenery\ folder where the photoreal BGL fiels of Corsica reside. They are linked to the photo bgls and depend on the given folder structure.
If they are anywhere else they won't work. It should look like that:

addon scenery\corse-photo\scenery --> photo-bgls
addon scenery\corse-photo\texture --> agn files

If there is no texture folder, make one or drag the \texture\ folder in the archive onto the \photo-corse\ folder.
One might say that this is not logical, which is true, because agn files have nothing to do with textures. But it's the way it is.

Any addon scenery that employs the corse photo scenery should sit on top of the photo scenery (higher priority) in the scenery database.

HTH,

I have the same problem, but I did the same thing. installed the air base but not the AGN files. I use Orbx Global vectors and a host of other FTX/Orbx sceneries in Europe and do not want any of this autogen stuff here to overwrite my global files. So waiting to see exactly where to put them and if they will mess me up!

Otherwise very interesting scenery.
 
These agn files don't mess up anything. The custom autogen was annotated to the Corse photo bgls and are only in effect on these photo tiles ( which are without vegetation otherwise). This has nothing to do with FTX et al).

The already superb scenery looks amazing with the autogen installed, by the way. Tree lines follow small rivers, and such details. Very good work.

Cheers,
Mark
 
Here is what I did

I renamed the zara_X folder to corse-photo folder When I copied the texture agn folder over it replaced contents of what was there, Oh veeh...

Where do I download the corse-photo scenery?
 
AAhhrgh - of course! :)
I misunderstood your earlier statement about having a base corsica scenery. Sorry. Without that the autogen expansion won't make any sense.

As I said, photo hd corse is payware, but very reasonable.

Sorry about all the confusion.
I found this old thread that lead me to think that I needed that payware. But I thought that with the 3 GB file size that everything is there and wouldn't need extra enhancements.

It is however, great scenery, especially with the freeware auto gen. I bought it when I first saw Ted using it for his tests on youtube.

Roger,

Thanks for the input. It is fantastic. I'll keep it in mind. It is most definitely a nice scenery. I know Ted can really demo it well and, for me, I was
ready to buy it but had to pause at the file size. The price is no prob for me it is more then fair. I just have file size issues with it for now.
I may pony up and get it eventually.

Me too. The payware is reasonable price but holy cow at 3GIGs that's a lot of HD space used up. + those agn files and that air base LFKS to boot. hooowe.......

I found a freeware version here and will try this one.

That freeware stuff would be the best choice for a first try at photoscenery on that island.
Also, if i'm not mistaken, there is a great chance that the freeware autogen WORKS with this freeware scenery. I'm not sure if I understood it correctly, but I believe the autogen .AGN file names are linked to GPS coordinates, not to a specific scenery.
It might be worth a try, anyways.

Also, you won't need any payware photoscenery in order to use the freeware ZARA_X scenery.

I wanted to post some screenies but my OZX album is no longer available due to site changes. I moved to OZX from Photobucket as I was afraid that my albums might be in jeopardy due to changes there. Seems I made a bad choice.
