Does ETO 1.40 already have the jb scenery included? References the Windingman scenery manager. That isn't something I currently have to play with when running 1.40. So will this add a whole new level of 'fiddling' to the currently smooth process of running 1.40?
Hi wichner
Yes, JB scenery is already included in ETO 1.40, but that's only two seasons - summer and winter.
The reason I made the "7 Season Scenery for CFS3 ETO Expansion 1.40" was to have a bit more seasonal variety and also to make a more uniform scenery so that the airfield and facilities blend better to the scenery textures and to manage the file swapping I chose the WMScenery Manager.
If you want to try out the new scenery I would suggest that you make a backup copy of your current ETO installation first. Then if something goes wrong you can easily go back.
There are a lot of files in the new scenery and I tried my best to write a detailed instruction and I also tried to make it as easily as possible by including batch files that only renames the old files so you can revert back if you don't like the new files.
But it requires that you can rename some files manually and cut and past other files.
Please read the readme file first and if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.
I've been running the new scenery since it was released in March 2012 without any problems. When the new files are in place the WMScenery Manager handles the scenery changes. You only have to start the program once in a while, I fly campaign missions but I don't start the Manager before every mission.
Cheers
. I stuffed up the first install of this package. For some reason I didn't get the WM Scenery Manager up and going.
