    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    The download limits are a work in progress. Please hold on until we work out the details of how it will work.

Scenery Question

I'm still new to the scenery end of this thing.
My question is this: When a scenery download tells you that you need the following files for it, as in Runway 12 Objects library 1, such and such terminals, blah, blah blah...
What or where do I put these downloaded files into so that these scenery downloads can use them?
There are a lot of sceneries that I don't get because of this and I figured it's time to find out.
Thanks
 
Most of them are library files
i believe if you download all runway 12
there are instructions where to put them
then any other add on will find them

I downloaded a EZ-scenery lib from flightsim.com and or avsim. Anyway its about 725megs. Once i installed it no worrys anymore tracking down objects. I know it was mentioned here or in the FSX next door.
 
Also, the Author will usually give you the exact file name in the ReadMe text so you know exactly what to look for. Then go to AVSIM, FlightSim, Simviation, etc, and hunt down said files, install per instructions, and you are done.


:rapture: <--- Mr. Data, now would be a good time...

The texture and scenery files from those sources can go into the respective folders in the add on scenery (AOS)directory of FS9. They should activate on the next start up. Or What I have started to do is for each source I create a new folder for the AOS tree named something related to the source. I then create a scenery and texture folder for this new one and deposit the files in these respective folders. I then activate the new stuff when FS9 starts up via settings-scenery library-add area-double click AOS-find the new folder-select and back out of FS9 and re-start. This way I can turn things on and off if there is a problem.
Don't forget to check scenery slider levels. Sometimes things won't appear under certain lower settings.
Hope this helps.
 
Rock On!!! Everything worked out great. There was a few worried moments but the end result is awesome. I now can fly out of Green Bay's Austin Straubel Airport and have it look like what's really here thanks to the fine scenery by Eric O'Link.
Off to get the rest of his midwest airports.
I smell a few short cross country hops coming up! :jump:
 
Indeed thank you Eric for KGRB. Now if only i had gmax skills to model Lambeau Field.
