Hey guys!

So I got a really good deal on Windows 7 64 bit Pro ($30, student discount) and for the most part, FS9 and all its addons are installing pretty good. I do however run into a problem with FlyTampa KSFO scenery. I install it and it has big purple blocks all over. I can't get it to work correctly so I just uninstalled it for now frown

Anyone know what would be causing this or does anyone run FlyTampa KSFO fine with W7? I am running FlyTampa KSEA just fine.
Thanks!

Kyle - give this a try (if you haven't already):

There are huge black or purple blocks around the airport.
This can happen when the scenery is not installed correctly or the folder was simply copied from a previous Installation. Re-install the scenery using the original Installer you received after purchasing.

Thanks Trevor, but I have already tried that. I run the installer several times over and over and the problem still exist. confused

K, I figured you had.

I've had no issues with the FlyTampa KTPA rebooted and Win 7 / 64, but that installer is of course much newer. I've not installed any of their "legacy" products yet, but will do that and see if I have any similar issues with them.
