custom scenery installing

[Airace]

Hi, As I'm new to X-Plane I am still learning where all the files go! I have downloaded some freeware scenery but don't know where to install it to or set up? One folder for example has 3 folders within,(Earth Nav Data,Objects and TerrainTextures). Do I place this entire folder into "Custom Scenery" and that's it? Thanks for any info!

You're correct, the entire folder goes straight into Custom Scenery. Do make sure, however, that the file line up as so- Custom Scenery>Scenery name>Earth Nav Data. Some sceneries, when extracted, have an extra "Scenery name" folder, so be sure that the package's "Earth Nav Data" is second after clicking on your downloaded package.

Ok thanks for that info! I got them installed ok except for "VNLK Lukla" where the runway is tilted sideways at about 30*. I am using the latest update so maybe this scenery is not compatible with this version?

I've taken a pic.

In the rendering options menu, turn off "runways follow terrain"

here is another scenery of Lukla VNLK    Lukla http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=5885 that is ok to use with the runway follows terrain option on, you do want that option on at VNLK since the slope of the runway helps a great deal to stop in such a short runway

"Scubajuan",thanks for that link mate!Really appreciated as I enjoy using this airfiled complete with sloping runway which I find challenging!
