Email support@flytampa.com to request a new installer. Make sure you use the name & email you 'bought' it with.

Then we can remove the boxes.

Martin, I am having a problem with this update as well. With the original installer and the texture upgrades to change rwys to 10/28, all is fine, as shown by the snapshot. Nice, flat ground to the sides of the runway. As soon as I add update to version 1.1, I get hills on both sides of the rwy. Obviously, something is not installing right with the update. Can you advise what to do?

Check if you have this file:

Addon Scenery/FlyTampa-Maarten/scenery/maarten_flatten.bgl

Yes, I have that file. Any other ideas? It has to have something to do with what the update does, as it works fine before the update.

Yes, I looked through what the installer does and don't see anything suspicious. Because this has been out for years I am assuming it is some unique problem. Please email me your name and I'll send you the regular 1.1 installer. This has also been distributed for years now without this problem report.

Martin, I also tried to delete and then reinstall the scenery, to see if that would help. I read the docs, and noticed that it said two files would be renamed to FL931250.original & HP931250.original in the FS9/scenery/name/scenery folder. Those two renamed files were not there, just FL931250 and HP931250. Could that be an issue that is causing this? Perhaps those two files were never installed/converted?

The FL and HP file are likely to cause such a problem. But these are untouched by the update, the main installer is what backs them up and modifies them.

Normally after installing you will see:

FS9/scenery/Name/scenery/FlyTampa_Maarten_Backup/

with 4 files in that folder. The file HP931250.bgl should be 57KB for example. If you look in the parent folder /scenery/ the same file HP931250.bgl should have the same size 57KB.

If the scenery is ever transfered to a new FS installation without using the installer, these files would be missing of course.

Disregard my last post. I just noticed you have the standalone TNCM, so the HP/FL files don't apply.

I'm emailing you a new installer.

That did the trick, Martin. All is good now. Thanks for all your help!
