Craig , I had VLC installed in FSX a good long time before ORBX popped on the scene, I did not remove it and simply put the big 'O' on top with any issues expect were they decided to get smart and change elevations .. fine in some places but others Omaka and Blenheim for example was a nightmare but generally they blended in

thanks Ian,

I think maybe I'll just give it a go and see what happens. It will have to be another day though as it's after 5pm and the top just fell off the Rum bottle - bugger!; I feel duty bound to go and ensure it doesn't evaporate. ;)

cheers

Ok, I've been sitting here thinking 6pm, is it too early to crack a bottle? Obviously not... Cheers! Isn't it labour Day -- why have I been working then?

maybe I'm losing it but I have searched the Godzone site from top to bottom and cannot find a download link for the P3d 3.4 multi-installers anywhere.
The subscription 1a download I have shows it is unable to find FSX/P3d V2.0 anywhere and will not install.

it has been a while since I downloaded them, do I need to re-download???? :givein:

Craig, AGAIN, I'm simply coping from FSX folder and plopping it into P3D and everything works fine :)

thanks Ian but I don't have FSX on this machine and it is all a fresh install to P3d.
I managed to fix the problem by re- downloading the 1a scenery and this time it installed correctly straight away. I must have had the older file without the installers so
now I will download all the rest again and set them up.

Now to get AS16 behaving itself and stop telling about simconnect problems! :angry:

AND having just spent up on all this I find "Halloween sale! 30% off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: "

Oh Bugger, I wonder if you create a false FSX directory and expand the photo scenery into that then copy it over.
