Chuns

All fine, thanks, again. Kind Regards, Peter

Great, Jon, and Fizzelle, all that seems to have done the trick (I didn't have that Config file, so I assume that is a Windows thing). Now I can get on with re-living my youth. Thanks again to you both. Cheers Peter

Thank you, Jon, thank you Fizzelle. I think I know what EWXP is. I opened it, a text file, but while I didn't understand what it said, the word Java appeared a lot. I think this must relate to me trying to install VFR Photo Scenery Volume 2 from a disc. In involved having to install a legacy Java. I bet that is it. I believe it is irrelevant, but I have attached it just in case.. To be honest, I don't quite understand how there could be two versions of that .ini file, I thought I was being quite rigorous with my versions of it as I got deeper in the poo. I will uncheck the parked aircraft, and check the Metal box. Half of me wants to apologise for the draw on your time, but the other half remembers how rewarding it was to help beginners in a field where I have (had) some authority. I didn't mind, but what I hated was people who, once they had received help, just disappeared with no acknowledgement. So I'll simply be grateful. Cheers, both. EWXPVolume2_InstallLog.log

Yep, I like it so much here, I'm going to pitch a tent! Here are the two attachments you need to see Jon. I didn't add any more scenery, but I included the .ini file for the sake of thoroughness. I shall be really interested in your conclusions. Kind regards, Peter Log.txt scenery_packs.ini

Sorry to be back seeking help so soon. Is it possible that the addition of scenery has proved too much for my Mac? It has a 3.2 GHz Intel i5, 8GB RAM, and an AMD Radeon R9 M380 2GB. I get stuttering and freezing now. I have researched this to the level of my understanding, but am at a loss how to implement any of it, even if I could follow the avenues. I did change the flight models / frame from 2 to 4.There seems to be a multitude of solutions to people asking about this problem. Is there anything obvious and simple that you could suggest? I have read here that a log file will help those who are kind enough to lend their expertise, I'll attach one if I am told where to find it!! And I suppose the obvious follow up question is how to revert back to the way it was before I started tinkering with it if it does prove that my setup is a bit weedy for the new requirements? Fizzelle, more than that, Jon is courteous in his help. Seems to me that (elsewhere) some clever people can't help being supercilious and waspish.

It worked perfectly, Jon, and I was pleased to delete anything that had my pudgy fingers on it! Once again I am so grateful, your generosity, and indeed that of the others on this forum, is much appreciated. take care, Kind regards, Peter

I made a real cods of it didn't I? I'm so grateful, Jon, and I can't wait to this evening to try it out. My actions - relabel the current file as scenery_packs.ini as scenery_packsOld.ini. Paste the new one into Custom Scenery, and away I go. You are an absolute star. Best regards Peter

Thanks so much, Jon. After seeking help 18 months ago to actually get the scenery loaded, it lay dormant for the reasons I have described. At last I have got around to trying to fix it. I'm grateful for your offer of help. The file is attached. scenery_packs.ini

Gentlemen, hello. Sometimes entering a new world is exciting, if a little frustrating. In my case, as newbie to X-Plane, and adding scenery it is only the latter. Except a lot frustrating. I've tried to glean as much as I can from this thread, but the terminology is beyond my computer literacy levels, and though I have researched each new term, I think I am just digging a deeper hole for myself, and piling error on error. My flight sim needs are simple, I merely want to fly over the south of the UK (and to France). My scenery-packs.ini file is very short, at a mere 15 lines. If I were to post it here, would somebody kindly appraise it, and show me where I am going wrong, please. Kind regards Peter
