Hello Lee: Would not know where to find that! The situation now, as it unfolds is this: I have freshly installed FG onto my Windows XP platform (that is the HP PC that has been running FG for a number of weeks now with "no problems") The basic FG shows no signs of any problems. Bearing in mind that I have uninstalled everything from the previous installation, including FG Tools, this is now from scratch.
I have downloaded Atlas from the source forge site and from the scenery site chose w10n50 to see if I get the same faults again. Sad to say that I still have the problem with London Heathrow, no scenery, lack of instruments in the cockpit (B737) and the toolbar is inactive and the computer hangs. Now, without FGTools I cannot run Atlas to obtain the Maps. For Windows, how do I get the PNG's, as the wizard does not allow these commands to be written? Lee, I have seen you operate around London, do you use Windows and how did you generate the scenery, atlas and maps? With FGTools I could use FG and Atlas together, but there is nothing in ANY documentation that tells how to do this with FG directly to Atlas/Map. Any suggestion to get to the bottom of this will be extremely helpful.
