Godzone Photoscenery installations

Postby gdavies » Sat Jul 25, 2015 11:16 am

I've been running Prepar3d in two partitions of my PC to test it out under Windows 10 (no issues there, by the way), but I've lost track of where I'm up with my Godzone subscriptions. Is there an easy way to tell whether I have already installed any/all of the Godzone Photoscenery subscriptions? Nothing appears in the control panel (Programs and Features) other than the VLC libraries and I can't see anything obvious in the Prepar3d installation directory.

Failing that, I assume doing a reinstall on top of an existing version won't bugger it up.

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

That's a very good question, which hasn't cropped up before. There is no easy answer either...
All the Subscription scenery sub-folders go in the Godzone folder, however these don't really make much sense to anyone but me, and some issues just add files to existing folders.

The simplest way would be to search for scenery files from each issue, by typing the file name into the Search box in Windows Explorer opened at Godzone. Finding each of these files means that the particular issue is installed. I've picked a random file name from each issue, which could be copy/pasted into the search box.

Issue 1a:
MtCook.bgl

Issue 1b:
Harihariphoto.bgl

Issue 2:
Benmore.bgl

Issue 3:
hastings_photo.bgl

Issue 4a:
LowerHutt.bgl

Issue 4b:
Turbines.bgl

Issue 5:
WanakaAirshowLib.bgl

Issue 6:
NZPP_lib.bgl

Issue 7:
geysers.bgl

Issue 8:
Queenstown_photo.bgl

Issue 9a:
CastlePoint.bgl

Issue 9b:
LakeTaupo_photo.bgl

If this doesn't make sense, get back to me.

For those who have FSX-se only, the installers work well, as this pretends to be a FSX installation, but for those with both, the install locations change, and I have yet to update the installers. If you do have both, you could install into FSX and copy the Godzone folder over, but there are a few things which would need to be tidied up. I can run you through these, if this is your situation.
