Hello i recently bought my copy of this amazing scenry but i cant install it, the installer works perfectly but doesn't change fs2004 scenery.cfg and therefore its not available in the sim. Thats not all the problem when i try to install it manually or within the sim using the scenery add option i cant add it, because doesn't find anything to add. I tried to add the scenery directly to the scenery.cfg but again it doesn't works. When i loaded the tncm scenery the runway seamed to be above the ground like floating but the only thing i can see is the default scenery.
I am using a Sony Vaio laptop with 1 gig in RAM a 256 MB video card a Duo Core processor with 1.73 Ghz and Windows Vista as my OS.
Thank you for your help

The folder you tried adding to the scenery library is /Addon Scenery/FlyTampa-Maarten and that doesn't work?
Check that this folder isn't empty, it should have 2 subfolders with a whole bunch of files in each of them. If you want you can also email me a copy of your scenery.cfg file and I'll see what I can do.

that particular folder have three more folders Scenery, Docs and textures but the sceery .dat file is missing although i am not sure if si needed one thing i did noticed is that i cant install any scenery using the add area in the scenery library option within the sim. Every time i tried to use that option the sim failed to find the file necessary to add it. I am not sure if this has something to do with the fact that i am using windows vista.
Also i only have the boston scenery from George Grimshaw and the milano form isd. But i dont think thats a compatiblity issue.
thank you in advance for all the help. I'll be sending the scnery.cfg to your mail in case you can find something. Can you post your e-mail address

Click the email button on below my post.
The scenery.dat file is generated by itself once the Scenery is added. When you say you can't use the Add area button, what exactly do you mean? Click Add Area, browse to addon scenery/flytampa-maarten/ without entering the flytampa-maarten folder, just have this folder selected/highlighted. In the lower box "scenery area title" just type in Fly-Maarten (or anything else), then click ok. New scenery should appear on top of the list and need a FS9 restart. If this is all working as described above but after the restart the new scenery is again missing from the list... in that case I think it is Vista User Control stuff preventing the scenery.cfg file from being written.
