Allen, I'm not sure which manual you're reading, there are many... You have to untar the scenery files. I prefer to use Total Commander ( http://www.ghisler.com/ ) for this purpose, but there are other tools available. One user reported needing to rename the file w090n30.tar.gz because whatever he was using didn't understand tgz is a shortened form of tar.gz. The untar should produce "Terrain" and "Object" folders. They go in your scenery folder "C:\ProgramFiles\FlightGear\data\WorldScenery" Make sure you have FG_SCENERY set to the appropriate value, e.g. SET FG_SCENERY="c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery";"c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\WorldScenery" Hope this helps, Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
