We just posted part one of the how to on uploading new files to the Library. Part 1 covers adding new files. Part 2 will cover making changes to your the uploads you own.
Questions or comments please post them in the regular forums. Which forum is that... Well it is the one you spend the most time in.
Thanks the Staff
Library How toI was able to download all the scenery. I will be flying in P3D V4.5 with issues with FSX and Windows 10 on my Dell as well as better frame rates. The 7AT7 works perfectly in it. Also plan on flying a Cessna 172 Skyhawk so no matter what sim the others are using they will see me in a Skyhawk though perhaps not the registration. I think that I will install my A2A for P3D V4.5 and see how that works out. Maybe do a test flight this afternoon. Now to trees...I still have a few trees though I see you do not in the last screenshot in FSX. I did a poly exclude and compiled the bgl. All but two stubborn trees disappeared. Even lowering the autogen vegetation density to NORMAL didn't remove them but slewing the aircraft from one end of the runway to the other, the Cessna has no trouble avoiding them to takeoff and I am sure to land. If I tried to flyin a DC3 it might be a problem but I don't intend to do that. I think even the Spartan wouldn't have a problem if I wanted to fly it. As far as ORBX I don't use ORBX NA so I won't have an issue with that. Hope we can get a few guys to want to get together and can work out a date/time for all.
in FSX it's already there. The Lockheed-Martin Prepar3Dv4.5.cfg does not have any Image Pixels Complexity. It uses it's own values for things. I'll just avoid the two trees that I can't get rid of.Sounds good. Did you try adding the line to your config file, or did you already have it in there?

Lo and behold (for Christmas Time exclamation LOL) the trees in the runway are gone. I don't know why LM doesn't have that in there but it's there now and the problems are gone.It does have a [TERRAIN] section and I added it there a long time ago. I've never run into the problems noted by others and I don't know if that one line in the P3D config file actually does anything but you might try it and see.

Even though it was not identical to FSX, Ed told me to put it in [TERRAIN] which I did because it was not there or anywhere else by a search in Notepad++ and all the superfluous trees were gone when I reloaded it. I might fly from my KDTO (Denton Executive in the SOH Library) to 7TA7 today only 164 miles as the crow flies or the Skyhawk for fun and then maybe a circuit to the other two airfields which I have downloaded. Unless I get lassoed into projects. We'll see.I just checked my fsx.cfg file and I did not have the line mentioned in place so I added it. I will DL the other scenery files tomorrow and then check to see if I have any trees on the runway now.

If you are more military than general aviation, T34 Mentor:https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/13896/fsx-beechcraft-t-34-mentor/The "TERRAIN" line worked for me in fsx.cfg. Thanks for that, Ed. I'm not much of a GA guy so can some one recommend a suitable aircraft either stock FSX or free download?
Thanks,
Steve

are good choices and both are available as FSX freeware at the links above and all flown in the real world.
A few years ago when flying with the 91stBG, during the week they would set up fun flights in any aircraft you wanted, not B-17s and the route was setup with touch and go's not full stop landings so that would obviously work and then flights in Cessna's, Piper's and Stearman's etc. could fly of which there are many freeware incl a Cessna Tundra-tire tail dragger I found to fly up in Alaska to little airports a few months ago. Got hooked watching reruns of FLY WILD ALASKA.I'm going to give "LICScout8GCBC Tundra" a shot at the trip this morning just to see if flying a slower airplane is doable without stretching the time to a point of boredom. There are other options as well, such as just shooting a T&G at Corsicana and continuing on to Reklaw or simply flying direct from Sherman to Reklaw and bypassing the stop at Corsicana altogether.
If someone would like to participate and watch the fun but not necessarily fly, they can download BOB from ORBX and place themself at Reklaw and watch us come in one by one keeping track of our progress with us on TS3. I always use BOB when I am checking out a new airfield. Be like one of the spectators you added.Flying the Bellanca Scout w/tundra tires (not native FSX). Very nice flight under an hour to Corsicana and likewise on to Reklaw. Landed over the pond at Reklaw just for a different view. Average speed about 125-129mph.
