Adding custom scenery

[hardwoodjoint]

Hi all,

I like xplane and I've added a couple of freeware scenery files for Australia but I can't seem to get xplane to recognise them. What have I done wrong?

I've attached my log file as a zip to see if the wise ones can offer any help.

 

Cheers

Have you put these files into the custom scenery folder?

The usual problem for first timers is to unzip the custom scenery into an additional layer of directory, ie:

 

You should see:

 

Custom Scenery\YPAD Adelaide Airport Photoreal\Earth nav data\apt.dat

 

If you have:

 

Custom Scenery\YPAD Adelaide Airport Photoreal\YPAD Adelaide Airport Photoreal\Earth nav data\apt.dat

 

...then you need to remove the additional "YPAD Adelaide Airport Photoreal" path. ie: don't let your unzip program create an additional directory.

Thanks Andyroc,

 

I followed the instructions, I've attached a couple of screenshots of the folders.

Can't see anything wrong. So what do you see if you go to YPAD (Select Global Airport/YPAD)?
