FS2002 Question

Guys,

I fly FS2002 sometimes when I want to use CFS2 aircraft NOT in a combat setting. However, I can't seem to find good scenery for around Florida's Space Coast. I installed Joe Watson's Florida mesh and the scenery is not good. Is this a hierarchy issue? Anyone else ever have this problem with Florida scenery?

I believe most of the CFS2 planes will work perfectly in FS9. In fact, the CFS2 default planes were part of my FS9 hangar, and I was flying them a lot.
Instead of trying to find outdated FS2002 sceneries, try your planes in FS9 to check if they work correctly there. I'd say you have a 95% prbability there :)

Going back a bit; think you also need Joe Watson's Florida landclass files as well; you should be able to find them at Avsim/Flightsim
These were later embodied into the joint project (with Scott Gridley) FREEflow Florida
which is for Fs2004 (http://www.fs-freeflow.com/index.php?ind=downloads&op=section_view&idev=4)
but may work in Fs2002 but there will be some errors where the default scenery joins the modified.

Hope this helps

It was the landclass files that I thought were giving me all the trouble. When viewed from the ctrl+S viewpoint, the scenery transformed into giant rectangles. Is this a hierarchy issue? Should I put them into a folder with scenery and texture subfolders, use ADDON SCENERY and move them up or down as necessary in the list? Is it a display issue?

landclass files (.bgl) should be in their own scenery folder; within a sub-folder titled 'scenery'
there should NOT be a 'texture' folder in with landclass scenery; ie the directory would be XXX_Lanclass/scenery
and do not put any textures in the scenery sub-folder either.

If you have textures associated with landclass it causes problems like you are see-ing.
Best place for any landclass type textures is the main fs texture folder.

More info on this is in the scenery SDK (you should find a copy over at Simviation)

Hope this helps
