Hello.

Make sure that the path to your addon scenery folder is correct, so FS knows exactly where to find it. I think, from "Windows Explorer", you can find the folder where the addon resides and copy and paste the folder address to the FS Scenery Library dialog box, to make sure the address is exact. Looks like you know to enable the scenery from within the library, dialog box, so you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Fisharno for your reply, but i must confess that i don't understand very well. The matter could be the address? Something strange is that using the classical method i have already add two sceneries a few months ago. But this method seems to be no longer usefull today.
And i'm looking for new spots for future screenshots so scenery is necessary
Glad to be drived

Hi, again.

Sorry for the confusion.
The "address" is simply where the scenery files are located on your hard drive. If you open either My Computer, or Windows Explorer you can see across the window, towards the top, the white "address box". If you were looking for FS2002 on my computer, it would say:

"C:/Programs/Microsoft Games/FS2002

This is the "address" where my FS2002 program resides.
"C:/" - is my "C" drive, or "Fixed Drive".
"Programs" - is where all my programs are on my computer.
"Microsoft Games" - is one of the sub-folders.
"FS2002" - is the sub-folder where my game is stored.
It's ADDRESS!

Sorry for going on. Very Happy

If you've already successfully added scenery to FS2002, and now, the ones you are trying to add, don't show, it could be the files themselves.
Or how they were packaged in the Zip file you downloaded.
(To long to explain here).

Check and make sure the Texture files of your addon scenery are copied to the FS2002 Texture folder. (C:/Programs/FS20002/Textures).
I've had scenery not work correctly because these files weren't copied to that folder when I installed it.

Also check some of the Flight Simulator web sites. There's some great troubleshooting, and tutorial pages that explain, in simple terms, how to correctly install scenery. Some explain it better than others. You'll just have spend some time reading.

He has some good links to all kinds of help with Flight Simulator.

Hope this helps.
