Sounds pretty cool!  I can't fly these days (substandard rig) but I would love to see some screenshots if you can manage it.

That's a pretty big assumption, I know many who have those libraries installed that do not make scenery.

So why not just tell people what they need and where to get it instead of bloating your upload with files many already have, and most of the libraries you uploaded are not needed for your scenery.

Did you get permission from all those authors to include their material in your upload?

Yes, I read your readme.

I have installed hundreds of addon sceneries and feel confident that I know what I am doing. And as I said in my first post...

In fact I am so familiar with the Rwy 12 Static Object Libraries that I can see several items in your screenshots that are not part of that package.

Some of them are...the 2 semi-trailer trucks out on the road, the 2 small trailers, one appears to be a red tank and the other a yellow ground power unit,and the rusty metal hangar the 500 is in.

Speaking of the Hughes 500D, there is one in the Rwy 12 SOL however it's green, not yellow. So I thought maybe you had repainted it. Thinking that, I looked in the texture folder you provided and discovered static500D.bmp appears to be missing. What else did you forget to put in?

BTW, static206b.bmp is missing also, which explains why the 206 on the trailer in your screenshot is missing it's textures.

In addition to the Rwy12 SOL I have collected most of the EZ-Scenery libraries that have been released over the years and have them installed also.

It appears to me you have used some objects that I have not installed in my FS or they would show up in the scenery. So what are they and where can I get them?

In closing, I hope you take this as constructive criticism.

My goal is to help you do a better job. Compared to KDVI this is better, but you need to do a better job of keeping track of what you use so you can tell your end-users.

It is my opinion, and that of several other people I have discussed this with, that if you did not create it, don't include it in your download. Keep track of it and list the needed files in your readme. Most anyone who has installed any Rwy12/EZ-Scenery type addons probably has these object libraries already. And if they don't, they should. You only have to install them once and then forget about them.

When developers include these libraries, without all the required textures, they are setting up their end-users for display issues that can take hours to fix. Trust me, I know. I have spent hours doing just that.

cheers,
