Hello, I thing that I am installing the scenery incorrectly. I purchased the complete package with the FS9 and FSX installer. I don't have FS9 installed on my system so i used the FSX installer. When I start FSX and choose TNCM the scenery is there but I don't have moving vehicles on the road near the beach or on the tarmac. These objects are there but they are static objects nothing move. I tried installing both packages, now the vehicles are driving along the beach, the buse and luggage tractors ect... are driving along the tarmac. I also have luggage tractors and other vehicles in parts of the ocean surrounding the Island. Any idea what I might be doing wronge?

For FSX only use the FSX installer, the FS2004 files do not run correctly within FSX.

The animated cars are missing in FSX TNCM. See the release notes post:

viewtopic.php?t=2189

Preliminary Details:
- Princess Juliana Airport (TNCM) with all objects & details as in the FS2004 version (exceptions: windsock, animated cars).
- Island Photoscenery & Autogen houses. Trees are currently sparse on purpose.
- Static ships.
- Option for generic FSX jetways or static jetways as in the FS2004 version.
- Option for default runway. Needed for the night lighting and PAPI only. If you can do without PAPI, deactivate the generic runway. This will give you an impression of how the final version will look like.

Thanks Martin, I guest I was in such a hurry to order I didn't read the release notes. I would like to say that the scenery is indeed one of your finest products.

P.S. any idea when the full version for FSX will be release.

There will be an update with the "final" FSX-TNCM sometime after FSX-SP1. When that is ready there will also be a stand-alone FSX-TNCM. The equivalent of the FS9 "complete" content with all 3 islands is not planned for FSX. See release notes or the order-page itself.
