The sounds of that *almost* makes me want to go back and visit La-la land. Is Catalina the only island done in the project or will any of the others be included?

I am taking an educated guess here and don't have the AS airport to check things out, but I believe you're seeing where the wave activity might occur. This might account for the blurriness even with the UTX water disabled, as wave activity and water are two separate items in FSX. I'll need to get my UTX specific Scenery.cfg file into FSX and try to take a look later today. BTW Kosta, it helps to have coordinates activated when taking screenies to assist people like me, who are on the other side of the planet, to figure out where to look. To me, Corfu sounds like something made with corn and tofu...

Go in and run the UTX Setup to disable Ultimate Terrain completely. Re-check the area to see if things look closer to normal/default. If so, the entries in the Scenery Library are being implemented, one of which is excluding default terrain. But what isn't being implemented are the UTX features to put the land/water/coastlines back in. This would indicate a problem with the Terrain.cfg file and it's not including the necessary UTX items. Usually starting the UTX Setup program will double-check that these items are in the Terrain.cfg file, but sometimes things go awry, like forgetting to reset other add-ons that want to do changes to that .cfg file. There is a keystroke combo to force the UTX refres of the Terrain.cfg file, I want to say Ctrl-Shift-R, but am not really sure. Checking at the Flight1 UTX forums will get the info from Jeff or Allen.

I'm pretty sure you speak for yourself in the above comment and not for any payware development team. If a producer of payware products harbored thoughts like your's they would soon find that they had no customers. I'd like to think Aerosoft is wise enough in their business methodology to realize P3D represents another sales channel and will respond accordingly with their products. No developer should ever deem their level of competence as fitting the entire flight sim community. Surfing around the various sites will reveal that users come in all levels of competency and expecting customers to get down and dirty with copying and pasting and modifying CFG files is not good business practice. Whenever I do a manual for one of my products I always structure it to fit someone who has limited computer skills. The more knowledgable can skip over the details as they see fit.

These types of polls cause me a problem. Second question asks if I bought any add-ons, which I have to answer as No. They gave me the DLC from the beta and unless they were to give me Alaska, I will buy that. Planes without cockpits are not on my purchase list...

Going back many years ago, I learned it was easier to park outside by the Police Academy and walk in and out to avoid the mess. It was safe back then to do something like that, I can't say if I would do that today. For any Dodgers fan of any length of time, seeing the parking lots conjurs up bad memories of the guy that owned the team for the past few years. He just sold the team and stadium for over one BILLION dollars and still holds a partial interest in the parking lots. A better alternative would be to go back down the I-5 freeway and show a picture of Angels Stadium in Anaheim, IMO. Present season's performance not to be considered...

Read the manual? You might want to activate the scenery through the Launcher before flying into it?

UT2 traffic activity is not controlled through the FSX AI traffic settings. Any level of adjustment must be made from within UT2.

Yeah, corner of Katella and Harbor! Use to watch the nightly fireworks display from Whizzyland from the top of the roof!

Is Dangerous Airports #1 one of the numerous Aerosoft sceneries? If yes, there is an updte to that which fixes a HORRIBLE (lol) exclusion file that affects way too great of an area. From North Carolina to North Africa airports will be impacted. And if you don't have DA1? Who knows, start turning stuff off in the Scenery Library until you find the offending package.

First, an unistall and reinstall isn't going to do anything other than give you the same files that you have right now. Second, I don't have the package installed right now, as three beta testing gigs and an upgrade from Win XP to Win7 have left me with a pretty bare FSX since the first of the year.. I'd need to look at the airport file to be certain, but feel pretty good about my "guessing" to comment. To accomplish the aspects of this airport and it's sloping (3d modeling) runway much of the default, SDK compliant aspects would have to be removed. I think the only start points are on the apron IIRC and there is no SDK structured runway components. That's why ATC can't direct you to the airport, because the (SDK based) airport isn't there. You can use ATC to get you to a nearby waypoint or fix, but from there it's all going to be visual. Pay close attention to the winds!

Mountain Air is a VFR only airport. There's nothing to get you setup for an approach to land. ATC might get you into the area, but from there you are on your own.

Nice to see this opinion thrown out. First time this year I have agreed with Alain? Life can be great when you are a big fish in a small pond. Then some will not accept being a smaller fish in a much larger pond. Darn egos seem to get in the way...

You could try the free 7-Zip program. Opens and extracts Rar files just fine. Did I mention it's FREE?

Nice to see another happy user of DownThemAll, Sascha. I hope a link is OK in the forums? http://www.downthemall.net/ Last check I was up over 50,000 files downloaded using dTa!
