Hi, there,
Jack´s Lost Creek is part of late Leon Louis` Addon for Misty Fjords called Alaskan Short Hops 2 - file name ash9_02.zip - D/L ID 64237 at AVSIM.
His sceneries have afcad-files so that you can find the places using the map or the GPS. There´s also an Alaskan Short Hops No. 1 (ash9_01.zip)with an update (ash9_01ud1.zip) both at AVSIM (D/L IDs: 63937/64035).
Hope this helps.
Regards
Werner

Hi Bill,
you are dead right, of course, with your remarks about dawn/dusk blending. My fault, very sorry. I had mixed up my annotations. The item which gave me the steady runway textures, but impacting on fps, is the
"transform and lighting".

Hawkeyez,
I guess you are already registered at their site (needed for d/l)?!
After entering the downloads page click on "Szenerien", in that page then on "sonstige Szenerien". Then you will see 5 sceneries:
1. ThiBuFly Seaplane Base (=MF addon)
2. Maloneys Tavern (=MF addon)
3. Bush Pilots Office in KBFI (you will need it for the PAKT scenery!)
4. Bush Pilots Hanger PAKT
5. Crossing Field West (Vancouver+ addon - new)
After downloading files 3+4 (KBFI+PAKT) you have to install first the Boeing Field scenery which is needed for the PAKT scenery to work. Then copy the "bp_pakt_hanger.bgl" from the downloaded PAKT scenery into the Scenery folder of the KBFI scenery; the 2 .bmp-files go into the texture folder of KBFI. The " AF2_PAKT.bgl" as usual into addon scenery\scenery and the "Static Objects Libary" into "Addon Scenery" (you´ll probably have it already).
That´s more or less the translation of their instructions.
Hope you like their addon!
Cheers,
Werner

Hi there,
I had the same problem of runway textures tearing at Wrangell and
Steward. In my case the culprit was the "dusk_dawn_smoothing" setting in fs9.cfg/terrain. Turning it off gave me steady runway textures BUT quite a hit on FPS which dropped from 17-19 to 8-10!! Might be a problem of my old graphics card (Geforce MX420 w/ only 64MB of video-RAM), but, maybe, this could be a solution for others.
Cheerio,
Werner

and not to forget the nice addon from the guys at bush-pilots.net, a german site which needs registering to allow downloading. Their addon does not interfere with Alan Wright´s one although their hangar is sitting across the road on the channel side. Nice touch is the big lettered PAKT written on both sides of the roof. Needs FSE.
Their site:

Hi Holger,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Well, at least I know now that there is nothing wrong with my installation. So, I can - very much at ease and anxious at the same time - wait for Glacier Bay v2. I do hope that it´s not that far away :lol: .
Again, many thanks!

Hi, Holger,
I´m back again with my problem of trenches and plateaus around Juneau Airport. And a new problem at Hoonah Airport where I have the
runway/scenery objects on one level and the landscape of the airport at a higher altitude which gives me (from the air) 80% of the runway
covered by terrain and the scenery sunken.
I had tried your suggestion to run the UT configurator, reset FS9 defaults and then newly configure UT (maybe unfortunately or wrongly) AFTER
installing Tongass Fjords.
Then I re-installed Freight Dogs The Scenery, did a repair-install of Tongass Fjords and then installed Tongass Fjords SP1.
I have installed (excerpt from scenery.cfg):

I´m afraid that my repair install of Tongass Fjords went terribly wrong. I found the following files in FSAddon\Tongass Fjords\Tongass
Fjords Landscape\scenery after having done a search for all *911110* and *912110* files:
0_UT_HL911110,bgl

But these files are also in FSAddon\TongassFjords\cache\tongass_lsexch! And this folder contains not only the 23 retained files (as per
file_list_exch.txt) but a total of 55 files. Apart from these 5 files that should have been deleted (UT + MF installed):
0_UT_HL912120_MFarea.bgl

Hi, Holger,
somehow I had strange problems to login to this forum today. But luckily I made it.
After applying your patch for Leon Louis´ "Sandmann´s Lodge" the lodge continues in the water, i.e. the airstrip is now out of the water with
some land around it. The buildings, planes, people etc continue in water, however, the jetty now is off a stripe of land (like double shoreline
which I don´t have anywhere) separated from the buildings/airstrip by water.
First off, I had a look in the scenery.cfg with regards to Freight Dogs The Scenery since this had been mentioned a few times in the forums.
And this is what I found:

I have no idea what might be the cause. BTW, in the vicinity, Anan Bay Cabin is on land but Sandmann´s Hideaway
and Bradfield Fisheries are ok. As is everything around Wrangell.
Funny thing the library entry for Freight Dogs The Scenery (area 204) - landscape Misty referring to the folder of landscape Tongass.
Please try to give me a clue.
Many thanks in advance and best regards,

Hi, Holger,
Very curious that I can logon to MF but not to the TF forum. So, please forgive my posting this here. In fact, I´m not sure whether this is an issue regarding MF or TF.

Hi, there,
since release date is now 26th, here is one question about a statement on page 19:
Some thirdparty terrain mesh files, like FS Genesis' products, are placed in \Scenery\World\scenery by their autoinstallers. Thus, if you own the FSGenesis Cordillera LOD10 terrain mesh you need to set up anew scenery folder, say "mesh LOD10 North America FSG", create a "scenery" subfolder in it, move the following files from \Scenery\World\scenery into it dem38m_can_104.bgl, dem38m_can_105.bgl, dem38m_can_114.bgl, dem38m_can_115.bgl and
add that entry to the scenery library as shown in thescreenshot.
In fact, I have 2 questions about this:
- the 105 and 115 bgl files are not part of the Cordillera Mesh package. From which package are they?
- Are they necessary for Tongass Fjords??
The waiting is killing me !!!
Best regards,
Werner

Vancouver + was perfect after installation and having followed all pertaining instructions. However, as I tried to land at Whistler SPB (addon by Franz Curda) everythig was under water and the lake had some troughs making a water landing impossible. After some searching I found a flatten file in BC_XP\scenery called "ftn_GreenLake.bgl". After disabling this file everything in Whistler is perfect, too. Just posting this in case anyone else has this problem, since the manual does not make any reference to this file.

Hi, Jack,
glad you´re on your way to getting this solved. Since I don´t have roads2004, I can´t tell you about that part. As far as CRG is concerned I just ran the "uninstall - moving back default files" - bat-file. This took care of the ships on land and the square shore lines. So, I guess moving back the default from the roads2004-backup should solve the part of trees on the runway and the "holes" between runways/taxiways.
Cheers, Werner

Hi, Jack,
Holger is right on the point when he mentions the default files HP915150, HL915150 etc. I had exactly the same problem with ships on land and square shorelines at Seattle. I then found out the "hard" way using the small freebie LWMViewer. The 915150 files it pointed out to me, I found in the "CRG_hold" folder. So I copied them back and all was fine.
This happens when you only disable Columbia River Gorge and leave the default files in "hold".
Cheers, Werner

Hi, Grizzly_Air
You´ll find at least the 185 float vs. for FS2002/04 at:
http://www.avsim.com/hangar/air/aircarinloads.htm
Hopefully you´ll find the 206 as well somewhere else.
Best regards + Season´s Greetings

Hi, there,
me again. Just to complete my last post and to let the newcomers (who got MF only recently) know. Leon Louis made a total of 17 scenery places for MF in Feb/March 2005 (some packed together like ash9_01.zip) including "The Sandmanns' Lodge & Cabins", "The Sandmanns' Hideaway", "Annette Island Lighthouse", "Loring Watermill Waterfall with animated salmons" etc.
You find them all at AVSIM, extended search: name/description: Misty Fjords + author: Leon Louis.
Regards,
Werner
