I just installed Gary Widups SLC scenery on FS9. I followed the instructions that he included, but I think I missed something along the way. My buildings, and the pad that the plane is sitting on are just plain gray. Can someone tell me what would cause this?

Ordinarily I would say that is a missing texture file or two that didn't make it across when you unzipped. I've got that scenery somewhere - I'll check you don't require any texture libraries. In the meantime try unzipping the texture file and installing again.

Okay, I remember that the readme file could be a bit confusing, I seem to recall that I used winzip as opposed to winrar to intsall it as I could not see which file went in which directory using winrar. If you haven't tried extracting it using winzip do so, otherwise come back here and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for your reply Alan.I used Winzip, and I have3 zip files. texture, addon scenery, and effects. Here's a breakdown of what I did. In the main FS9 folder, I went into addon scenery where I created a new folder (SLC). In this folder I have three subfolders scenery, texture, effects.
Her's what's in each of the folders.

According to his readme file there is effect texture that's supposed to go into the texture folder. I wasn't able to locate any file named effect texture.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Same with me on the night scenery...though I think it happens sometimes during day, too.

Philip - at work at the moment I'll compare our directory structure when I get home. I can see one problem staright away and that is the 'effects' folder should reside in the root directory of FS not as a sub-folder of SLC. Will check back later.

FSX Guys - Is that 'Complete Utah' you are using?

Guys - I am using the Utah Complete along with its update that I acquired from AVSIM (for FSX). Working fine on my rig. Can't speak to Widdup's version, although I had it installed on my FS9 rig and it worked fine.

Not using any scenery programs, it's the stock FSX scenery. I just found the same problem with no terminal showing but the jetbridges only at KDAY (Dayton) tonight.

Ryan, you need to turn the lights on!!!! biggrin

Philip - major problems accessing my FS9 drive sorry. IIRC when I installed this scenery I used Winzip as opposed to winrar because the folder structure was a lot clearer. Could be worth a try.

Alan, I did use Winzip to install this.

OK, tried several different things, all of which just didn't work. So I deleted everything, and started fresh. This time I placed the scenery files directly into the FS9 scenery folder, and the same with textures, and effects. Now it's working great. Thanks everyone for your responses.
