Well sir,you once again have come to my rescue!! I copied and renamed the default dp file and voila!! It works great!! I got to thank you for all your help.You have helped me fix my aircraft AND you helped me fix my sceneries with the missing scenery object problem and texture problem.And i figured out the afd problem too All four sceneries work great! (I tested them on a "virgin" game- no add ons in it).I am now the proud papa of four new sceneries and they are available at the CFS1 section of this web site.Simviation and you are the best!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
