Trouble activating scenery

The official REAL NZ support forum

Postby Scupper » Wed Dec 09, 2009 7:00 pm

Somehow, I managed to install Auckland Supercity perfectly last night, and that's looking fantastic.

I've run the Rotorua FSX installer, and that scenery appears in the FSX folder, which is on my D drive. In the FSX interface, I hit the Add Area button in the scenery library panel, sinlge-click RealNZrotorua (see pics) and hit OK, as directed in the readme file.

This takes me to a similar-looking panel showing only the two subfolders , scenery and texture. The directory field below is blank, and hitting OK does nothing. Selecting the scenery subfolder and hitting OK doesn't do anything either. The RealNZ scenery (Rotorua) isn't available in the scenery library when I close those windows. In Windows Explorer, I've checked that the RealNZ folders in the FSX directory actually do contain data, - I just can't seem to load it into the scenery library.

Am I missing something obvious here? winkyy.gif I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Windows 7 64 bit.

Yes, this is an issue with Windows 7. To get it to work, do what you've done already, then once you get to the screen with the scenery and texture folders, click anywhere within the white space inside the dialog box. With luck this will return you to the Scenery Library with the area activated.

Wow, - that worked.

No I can show my 9yo where we're going on our trip soon.

Thanks for your great work.
