Hammer,

Based on the description, it appears that you may have installed add-on scenery to fs2002 that is conflicting with the default scenery, such that the default scenery was overwritten in the Scenery Library.

The best way of solving the problem without losing your add-on scenery depends on the following:  Are the error messages occurring when you load a flight in a particular city/airport, or does it happen regardless of the location? ???

The error message means you have macros in the scenery that require a library bgl. Chances are they are Nova macros, and you'll need the NovaLib1.bgl which should have been included in the scenery folder of the scenery in question. The best thing to do is get that bgl and drop it in your main scenery folder. Then you'll be covered for all scenerys that use Nova macros. I learned this the hard way as i have used Nova macros in my scenerys and having the NovaLib1.bgl in my main scenery folder, i never get the error message. Unfortunatly, some of those who have installed my scenery dont have it, so they get the error message.

Thanks guys for the comebacks, first off, opened views, clicked on full screen & was back in business, regarding the scenery files, I very recently downloaded the Stearman zip from this site, with about 5-6 liveries. The 1st error message appears when loading for a flight. It reads, Scenery library object not found. This may cause some scenery such as some buildings to not display,then gives 4 ID #'s W/(sceneDB\vehicles\vehcles\scenery area scenery\area 118 not found. click OK to continue. Before takeoff repeats itself 11-17 times, stops all action, has occured at 2 airports (cities) to date, (Meigs) Chicago & S.F. Intl (S.F.) with 2 addon A/C, not default, will try default A/C. Have found empty SceneryDB folder in FS2002.Also occured twice in the air. Definitely unfamiliar with Novalib1.bgl. Ran across term bgl before, have to plead ignorance, same with Gerrish's grey Tree, will check Readme file again.1st error message appears before A/C is picked out. Thanks agains guys, hate to have to re-install, lost my logbook last time. Does it ever get to be smooth flying?  Hammer ???

Hagar,

I'm running a full install. I ran a couple of flights with default A/C this afternoon, no problems, at Chicago MDW & Williams Gateway in Phoenix. I've got a feeling I goofed the installation of the Stearman 450. I'm going to go over it & see if I can't get it straightened out. The trouble I've had seems to be with the Stearman & a Spitfire XIV & the quasi addon, The Vought Corsair. Hope I won't be confined go just using the default A/C.

I checked in the utilities & found a Novav1.6 for FS2002/FS2000/CFS2, by Rafael Garcia Sanchez, is that the one you had reference to (NovaLib1.bgl) or where can I find that NovaLib1.bgl? ???. I downloaded the Stearman PT17 Kaydet from Simviation 2002 Vintage A/C & can't seem to locate anything on changes regarding the scenery. Thanks

No, I haven't loaded any 3rd party scenery. Went back over the "read me" for the Stearman Kaydet, nothing unusal there, no scenery downloads. I'm earnestly trying to avoid a uninstall/install, I always have trouble, last time my Roxio5 creator wouldn't copy my addons. I have FS2002 on a spare machine, but can't figure out how to copy the scenery files to my main FS2002. "X" advised someone else to rename FS2002, install a 2nd FS2002, & I guess drag & drop the required files or folders & then again rename FS2002 back. Hope I got it right, my court of last resort.

Hagar,

I have FS2002 on my desktop, changed the name & inserted the 1st disk, instead of starting an install, I got the welcome screen for FS2002. Only had time for one attempt late last night. I must have really flunked Computer Basic 101, will continue working on the problem. AT least from reading in the forum, I'm not the only one that has difficulty. Some times computers seem to have a mind of their own. I'm going to try & back up my 3rd party addons & if worst come to worst, I'll have to do a full uninstall & reinstall. Thanks much for your advice, it certainly helped point me in the right direction
