I seem to be having troubles locating the runways. Maybe I'm blind. Could you help me? (See images below)
No Luck Here at Boise, Idaho (KBOI)

No Luck Here at Nashville (KBNA)

Gettin' closer here at Kennedy (KJFK)

Still No Luck at Houston

As you can probably tell I'm missing some scenery files. Although I can't seem to figure out to recover them other than reinstalling FS2002. Upon starting FS I get a few error messages. They read something to the tune of...
1. Scenery.CFG file error! Local scenery directory (scendb\westhem\usnw\SCENERY) in scenery Area.051 not found. Click OK to continue.

2. Scenery.CFG file error! Local scenery directory (scendb\westhem\ussc\SCENERY) in scenery Area.052 not found. Click OK to continue.

3. Scenery.CFG file error! Local scenery directory (scendb\westhem\usse\SCENERY) in scenery Area.055 not found. Click OK to continue.

4. Invalid Remote scenery path in scenery Area.121

5. Scenery.CFG file error! Local scenery directory (ADDON SCENERY\stonehenge\scenery) in scenery Area.123 not found. Click OK to continue.

If that makes sense to anyone and you know any possible remedies please let me know. Also although I don't have a screenshot some of my airports appear as if I'm taxiing underneath of the taxiway/runway.

Thanks,
mojavepilot

Hi,

Go and search this scenery in your CD instead of installing FS2002. Do this first and drag and drop or copy and paste the missing scenery.. probably corrupted files. Hope this helps.

Mind telling where you got the Dakota? Is the panel any good?

Dakota? Not sure which aircraft you mean. The first is a DC-3, the second is a P-51, the third is a King Air which came with the game, and the fourth is a Learjet 45 which also came with the game. The first two are addons that i got from Simviation.

Read up on your classic aviation, it was the DC-3/C-47 Dakota. Beutiful airplane, took a ride in on at the Millville airshow a few years ago great ride, I think I might like riding in a dakota more than modern airliners, pilot has to be a little more in tuoch with the plane he's flying.. Im currently making my RTW trip in a TWA -3.

I admit my knowledge is lacking some. The Dakota is a great plane, but came with a stock panel and sounds (same as C182). I downloaded the plane and panel from Simviation. The plane was located in the Vintage section for FS2002 downloads. Dakota's are quite plenitful in that section I might add. The panel obviously was in FS02 panels. The sounds I got from a seperate designer's website. The address is: http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=12776.
Also regarding my issues of no airports I tried to locate it on my CD and was succesful, but during the transfer proccess I kept getting another error message. If I don't get it figured out I may either update to FS04 or wait for FS06.
Hope that helps,

I got mine from fsfeild, before i discovered simv. DC-3s are very common add ons as many people belive that the DC-3 was the plane that jumpstarted the airline buissiness. After WWII there were so many miliary surplus C-47s that they were bought cheap and reconfigured for passenger flights, almost every american airline grew or started when WWII was over because of the surplus Dakotas and the number of pilots trained to fly them when the government told them that they no longer needed thier service.
/OT

If you cant get it figured out, back up all your add ons, and any wanted flights, to a a location outside of the 02 folder and reinstall 2002, then move all the files back where they belong, that should work.

Back OT
Now if only I could figure out why the apron flickers at Leghi Valley Intl(think i spelled it right). Its the only place where ive ever seen it happen and ive been to almost every airport in SE Penn and all of Jersey, plus a few larger ones on the eastern seaboard and a few intl ones on my RTW trip. Started in Templehof, Berlin and im doing an odd one, im not going east-west im going north-south. Hope theres a few airports on antarctica, I dont think my little dakota can make it from the Cape of Good Hope to French Polynesia on one tank of gas.

I downloaded a dc3 from here (not the Dan Air). Glad I did cos its a superb model, turning the engine off displays chocks by the wheels, and turning the lights off means a cargo door opens and crates appear on the tarmac by it.
Only problem is it has a 182 panel, but got another one from over the road at Avsim (oops - should i have not mentioned that Shocked

?)

Well I'm still looking. I'm sure backing up add-ons and reinstalling FS2002 will work, but I'm a little on the lazy/busy with other things side right now. Maybe in the next few days I'll do it seeing as how I'll have another weekend of freetime.
