What changes should I make?

Hey guys; Is there an easy way for you to look at this scenery library and scenery cfg, and tell me what to change?
 
Looks like a higherarchy problem.

Set it up something like this:
FS200 Props
Buildings
Runways
Effects
Vehicles
Aircraft Weapons
Scenery Ships
Airport Facilities Data
Add On Airfields
Land Class textures
Mesh
Default scenery layers.
 
Seems to be a lot better. I do not know if it's possible, but it looks like I might have gotten some more fps. Thanks! Because of Rami's DEI, I got to do a lot of fiddlin' around! By the time I was finnished with the scenery, I could no longer remember what was the top or bottom. That's a real nice campaign!:ernae:
 
Mariereid,

Just making sure here...you are aware that if you open up the scenery.cfg with notepad / wordpad, it lists the scenery in order from top to bottom. Seems logical, right?

When you look at your scenery layer in CFS2's options menu, the display is inverted, which means that for the picture on the left, Milne Bay would be at the bottom of your scenery.cfg if you opened it in notepad / wordpad, but it displays on top when you look at it in the scenery library window.

I hope I made sense, that confused the hell out of me when I started doing this stuff years ago...

Here's my base PTO scenery.cfg, if you need it...

Not sure I'm following what's going on here. :kilroy: Why is the order of scenery an issue?
 
Mariereid,

There's another problem here. If you installed the 2008 Dutch East Indies pack from MaskRider, this one pack includes both the Dobodura complex and the Milne Bay complex, making his older versions unnecessary. These are quite possibly what is bogging down your system.

To fix you'd have to remove those folders from your installation and scenery.cfg, and uninstall the GSL files.
 
I am looking it over now. It's all working, just want to make sure I got the scenery lib and scenery cfg right. I will uninstall the 2 MR. Thanks guys, I'll let you know what happens. Sorry, Rami and all, I know your busy. :ernae:
 
How does this look?

:isadizzy:Dang, cannot send photos, anyway I basically copied Rami's scenery cfg. My scenery library is the same, except bottom is top. the last item in cfg is no 1 in library and so on. Thanks, again.:ernae::salute:

That is an excellent question, and while I know you can have issues with the scenery showing up correctly I cannot give a detailed answer. Anybody?
