I'm making kind of a guess here, but I don't think the sender knows it was an incomplete download on your side.
Not my area of expertise so I may be way off base, but my understanding is the data is getting lost/corrupted after they transmit. Kind of like if they put 10 socks into the dryer, but there are only 9 there when you take them out. :lol:

Those funny colored strips are the digital globe coverage that Bob mentioned. Aside from showing where and what dates photos were taken, looks like it's main purpose is to fill the image with pretty colors.
Google tends to look a little cluttered with all the layers turned on. I'd go through the list and turn off a few that aren't needed. I generally have only the basics on, like Francois. Then when I do need or want to add one, I just turn it back on.

Try opening google with your normal google shortcut. Assuming google runs, switch it to windowed mode, so you can see your desktop while google is running. Then just drag and drop the kml file from your desktop onto the google map, and see if it loads that way.

Wow, really great stuff. It's almost perfect, except...
In Glacier Bay you missed Eldred Rock Lighthouse at :
Latitude: 58.9717 Longitude: -135.22 :lol:

Hi Jeff -
In top down view (ctrl s), changing the elevation of your plane isn't really changing the field of view of what you see. In fact, as you slew up, the plane will get closer to you, and even go above you and out of sight.
For this type of screenshot, go to top down view and hit the + and - keys on the top of your keyboard to zoom your field of view in and out. You can even fine tune it by holding down shift when you press + or - and it will zoom in smaller steps.

Hi Mark
Those lines are discussed on page 28 in the manual, and in a little more detail in this post:

Basically, turning down water effects should remove them, but will also remove the water effects.

I hope you plan on driving the coast highway (highway 101 or highway 1, also known as pacific coast highway or pch) and not the freeway. The coast highway has some stunning scenery, especially the entire Oregon coast. My first time took 4 days from the Oregon/Washington border to San Francisco, because I refused to drive after dark and miss scenery, and I stopped often to enjoy the scenery.
And yes, Glacier Bay ver 2 is in beta testing now and nearing completion. It will be freeware and continue north from where the Tongass scenery ends to N60* 30'.
Keep an eye on Holgers freeware forum and the screenshots forum.
Some info and screenshots are at :

I just purchased both Tongass and Misty, and all I have to say is that I'm in seventh heaven! :D ....
PS: I don't think my wife's going to see much of me for several weeks! :wink:
I told you you'd like 'em :lol: And Vancouver+ is just is as good. Now we need to get 'em to fill in that gap between Vancouver and Misty. Then head south to where I am.
And I just gotta ask -
Does Holger owe your wife an "I'm sorry" or a "you're welcome" ? :wink: :lol:
-
Sorry, Francois
didn't mean to put you on the spot, just wasn't sure about the discount.
I should probably also say to Eagletail the graphic on my posts is because I was part of the Tongass beta team, I'm not financially involved in any of the mentioned products.

Tough question. There's no right or wrong answer. All 3 are excellent.
If you haven't yet, go to simmarket and look at the screenshots for each one. You may see something that catches your eye and helps you decide.
If your wallet will allow it, I think if you buy Tongass and Misty at the same time, you get a 25% discount on Misty. I'm sure Francois will show up at some point and confirm whether that offer is still available.
But honestly, the best answer I can give you is they are all first class stuff, so buy all 3. :lol:
-
Thanks Francois. The video was amazing.
Those wngs are about the same span as some of the RC planes I fly, although much stronger construction.
Have you contacted him about attaching them to your handle bars? :wink:

I don't see a forum for experimental, so I guess this the best place. :lol:
Quite a little contraption.

I'm using Justins FSgenesis 76m mesh, I bought it a long time ago before he did 38m for AK. Since it's a lower resolution than the 38m mesh Holger supplied with Misty and Tongass (and Glacier Bay ver2 when it's released), there's not much chance of conflict. It still makes the rest of Alaska look much better, and the boundries of Holgers sceneries is much less noticable than using just the default FS9 mesh for the rest of Alaska.
If you opt for 38m mesh (and they're about the same price, so it makes sense) follow the instructions on page 19 of the Tongass manual and it should work fine.
-
FSGenesis has 38 and 76 meter mesh for AK. I'm sure there other options available, but you can't go wrong with Justins stuff.

Is it just me or does that first screenshot look like an oil painting by a very talented artist?
I'm sure we all agree about the very talented artist. :wink:

Take a look at this link -
Lots of info there, should be something that'll help you out.

Cool pics, and good job "bird watching". :lol:

I tried to make a deer. The body was ok, but not great, and probably too many polys. Couldn't get the antlers right. Looking forward to what you come with.

I've had black bear twice, and really enjoyed it. Deer and elk are far too "gamey" for me.

I agree. As I've gotten older and mellowed a bit, I prefer to watch, and shoot with a "non-lethal weapon" like this.
-
Not sure how you arranged the weather, but you're welcome to come back and do it again any time you want. :lol:
I recognize that patch of vine maple. It's on the north bank of the Ohanapecosh River.

Dang
Wish I'd known you'd be in my backyard. I'm about 40 miles from Rainier (S44).
I'd have met you for coffee and a burger in Ashford or Packwood or Morton (my favorite for burgers) or Cougar or...
You picked the wrong time of year. I bet you get (got) wet. Should have done it last month for sun or next month for snow.

Hi Arno
You're correct it's the textures, either corrupted or missing. Look in effects\textures for fx_swoosh.bmp and fx_swoosh2.bmp. I suspecct fx_swoosh.bmp is missing.
I'd put back both of the originals even if they are there just to be sure if it were me.
You can get the originals from disk 1 in MSGAME1.cab. That cab file will open with winzip so you can get to the files.

OOPS :oops:
I just checked and that nasty little line is in the original aircraft.cfg I sent to Holger, before he added lights and wakes to it, etc; so it's my bad.
No idea where it came from. It's not in any of the other boats I've done, and I thought I had used the aircraft.cfg from one of those and just changed the name references in it.
Thanks to Jean-Marc, it's something I'll make a point of looking for if I do any future boats. I may not be the brightest light in the harbor, but I try to learn from my mistakes :wink:

Great job, and thanks.
One question - I don't see any instructions or an option to upload scenery addons.
Will the site provide addons directly like Misty Moorings appears to do, or just give links to other sources (ie AVSim)?

If you start at parking 3, they will be almost straight in front of you over the top of the hill. A little hard to see from parking, unless you hit w and change the view to wide, no instruments. (or slew your altitude up a little)

Holger is away until the 12th, and I'm guessing Bill Womack is on pretty much the same schedule.
My first guess would be verify the tmvl is set to 20. See page 27 in the manual.
If that's not it be patient, and wait for the experts to get back.
Lucky me, I'm about an hour from Bellevue so no week long trips needed. :lol:
