Any chance that some add on sceneries might be made without the EZ Scenery Libraries requirement?
I have the stand alone "LITTLE PORT WALTER FISH HATCHERY" scenery add on which is great!
The other new additions look awesome, by Mike, and Phil and Bill, but have the multiple libraries download requirement.
Not knocking the choice at all, just wondering. (?)

Hi there,
I had a closer look at Dave's add-on and I should be able to provide patches for them shortly.
Cheers, Holger
Thankyou Holger! That will be great.

by Dave Erickson.
Wondering if any patches will be available for this scenery pkg by Dave.
1. The municipal docks are in use at Juneau (and work great in conjunction with Alaska Glacier Bay and TF).
2. Northern Lumber Company doesn't quite fit, but there is a logging
operation very near that is included with TF.
3. Oscar Johnson Logging Company doesn't match up to the terrain.
4. Hood Bay Cannery doesn't fit either.
For the time being I have just "blocked" the bgl's for #'s 2, 3, and 4.
Thoughts/Comments?

Michael,
That's good news for me too, another fan/user of your AT Tours package. Look forward to the compatibility fix with TF.

In order to see caribou in yes bay you would have to go back in time before the last ice age. Presently no bou in S.E. Alaska
Bob
:lol: :lol: Yep, no doubt about it. Lots of bear and moose though.

I was toodling up Yes Bay and saw some carabou in the water. They were lifting their heads up and down. Cool touvh I liked it:) But I think that is the type of animation I'm looking to creat only more mobile.
A week after registering I got a reply back from scenerydesign.org. Hopefully they can head me in the right direction as well.
:shock: Animated caribou in Yes Bay!!?? I've been up Yes Bay hundreds of times and have never seen them.........but I'd like to. :lol:

Glad you found it interesting and useful, Howard.

Fuel burn, by the manual, is stated to be 25 US gallons per hour.
You may find this old Aviation Investigation Report interesting. The report covers some of the fuel burn/quantity/etc from the pilot's log books.

Brent, that fishing technique is considered illegal.
Glad it is working and you are having fun.
Cheers

:lol: :lol:
I discovered that about 1850 rpm's produces near-perfect 1" thick instant salmon steaks. The two fellas below the falls, snag the steaks with nets and head for the barbeque. I expect this technique to become more popular with the tourists than bear-watching! :roll:
-
Just got the update. Looks and works great!
Thanks Léon for the fix at the dock and my thanks too, to Allen for the neat waterfall with the salmon. It looks very cool.
I slewed to the top of the waterfall and watched the salmon jump at my windscreen. Pretty neat.

Hi
Can you post some shots (with the coordinates) of the new scenery? I have installed MF Lodges but when I go to Thorne Bay I don't know what to look for :oops:
I clearly see the "old" FSE scenery for this location and the nearby Misty's place but when I stop the player cannot see any new building
Thanks
Unfortunately Guido, you must choose one or the other of the sceneries as MF Lodges at Thorne Bay is right on top of Misty's Place...or is it the other way around?
-
Hi Léon,
The faulty beams of light are really no big deal. I am wondering about the coastline at Loring that leaves the house, SUV, and a half-dozen trees suspended in the air.
I only have default mesh, other than the Misty Fjords installations, and my coastline at Loring looks different than the screenshot you included with the Loring package. I see that Guido's screenshot, even though textureless, has the same coastline as my initial screenshot post.
This is your screenshot at the docks to compare with the screenshot I provided above.

I had the same shorlines problem in Juneau country with Holger's Glacier Bay scenery and mesh. After following the link posted by Guido, I removed all the excludes and made them their own scenery folder and installed as suggested by Holger.
Cleaned everything right up! Thanks Guido for the helpful link and thanks to Holger for the fix.

Thankyou gentlemen and you are more than welcome. The lucky find makes the Amphib Maule an even better FS selection.
Happy Flying!

Maule M7-260 Amphibian
Roll sounds in the amphib are present when at a standstill or even when "cold and dark".
After fooling with it this morning, I discovered it is a glitch in the amphib's sound.cfg (...\Maule M7-260 sounds\sound.2)
Open the sound.2 folder and then it's sound.cfg
Scroll down to:
[GROUND_ROLL]
filename=mroll
flags=125218
viewpoint=1
minimum_volume=6000 //<---------change 9500 to 6000
maximum_volume=12000
minimum_speed=3
maximum_speed=100
minimum_rate=0.80
maximum_rate=1.8
link=GROUND_ROLL1
That will fix it up!! No more constant roll sounds when sitting still and/or at shutdown, but they do kick in when you are moving.
The Maule Amphib doesn't have touchdown sounds either. The little "hop and squeal" sounds. It doesn't really need them, especially if most of your flying is at dirt strips and water. If you do want to add them in, just add these sections in right above the [GROUND_ROLL] section:
[left_TOUCHDOWN]
filename=cmtouch1, cmtouch2, cmtouch3
[right_TOUCHDOWN]
filename=cmtouch4, cmtouch5, cmtouch6
Enjoy!!

Check your ...\Flight Simulator 9\Effects folder for Nova_smoke_one.fx, Nova_smoke_two.fx, and Nova_smoke_three.fx
The Misty Fjords ones are MF_cabin_campfire.fx, MF_cabin_chimney.fx
Those are the effect files used to produce the smoke. I believe those are the main ones.

That's okay (differing opinions), we all have personal preferences and that's what makes it all so fun.
For me, I slew my aircraft to the observation area at the top of Deer Mountain and just sit and admire the weather and scenery. The view of the Ketchikan Harbor area and over Ketchikan Lake is nothing short of spectacular. One of the best views you'll ever get.
I recently tried a test flight from Deer Mountain G.C. in a Super Cub, right after liftoff I pulled back the throttle to idle and "sailed" to PAKT without a hitch. A lot of fun! I'm going to go try a full engine-out attempt on my next flight.
Have fun bush-pilots!
Happy Flying

Doesn't it feel good when everything is working right??...at least for the next five minutes. :lol:

Here are some thoughts:
*****
FSE ver. 1.10- New Updated Version
http://www.lagosim.com/default.asp?act=9〈=eng
*****
for the PAKT FSE discussed...Check the following:
Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\LAGO,
open the Lago folder,
2 folders inside named Common and FSE,
open the FSE folder,
6 folders inside,
open the Data folder,
should see "59683271_ketchikan.SE2"..........if it's there, close the folder out and go to next step.
Back to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\LAGO,
open the Lago folder,
open the 'Common" folder,
4 folders inside,
open the "Tracks" folder,
should find "59683271_ketchikan.OSC"........if it's there,
back up to folder "Sounds",
should find "59683271_ketchikan.SC", if it's there, you have the PAKT FSE correctly installed.
My next concern would be whether all the default textures and bmps were included in the initial LAGO FSE install.
All the LAGO FSE bmp's are here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\LAGO\FSE\BMP
All the LAGO "common" textures are here
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\LAGO\Common\Texture
I don't know if that will be any help at all, but maybe it's a start to figuring out what is going wrong at your end.

Hi Brent
thank you very much , I had already downloaded that, but completely
forgot to install the files :oops:
:lol: You're welcome, Guido. Glad I could assist in jogging the memory. :idea:
Happy Flying!

There is an FSE release for PAKT available in the avsim library. Works pretty good on my machine.

For the bridge shadows (or tree shadows, bldg shadows), read my post above. It will cure the problem. No other way around those high flying shadows that I know of.

Wow! Thanks Holger for the patch. I'm glad those sceneries were salvageable. They are still good ones today as you mentioned in the patch thread.
