Hello,

 

Open scenery ? Did you mean OpenSceneryX ?

http://www.opensceneryx.com/

 

If you have a problem with the installer, you can download the zip file.

I did download the zip file just not sure what to do with it to run it or install it?

Maybe i am just confused???  I have loaded some scenery packages such as airports,  when i choose one of the airports i have downloaded it gives me some forrest error.  then it kicks me out,

You place the OpenSceneryX folder inside your Custom Scenery folder.  That's all you do with it.  As you download other custom scenery files, you place those folders inside your Custom Scenery folder.  If those custom sceneries use OpenSceneryX objects then they will find those objects and your scenery will be properly displayed.

Be sure to edit scenerypacks.ini so that opensceneryx is below airport sceneries that may require it.

Hi Max, usually you do need more than just one library like OpenSceneryX, you should get even R2_Library, RuScenery, ff_library_extended_LOD and possibly even others, you've to check your log.txt in order to understand which library is missing.

All those libraries must be placed/installed/unzipped into the Custom Scenery folder.

Well i think i really messed it up now?  I can't even open x-plane.  it said x-plane crashed i click understood then another error message i click ok and closes x-plane.  anyone know if i should try to unistall x-plane from my Mac and reinstall it.

In my view there are two lines of approach to this problem: 1 - your log.txt file may have clues for what is causing the crash and you may send it to someone with experience and let him make suggestions, 2 - you can make a fresh installation of x-plane, keeping the old one in case you want to make use of the add-ons you have already downloaded.

A possibly 3rd option is this: delete the Preferences folder and try again, if you still get the crash launch the installer telling him to update your installation it should fix missed and corrupted files in your installation.
