Hi Iain,
Sorry to be bothering you with this, but I wonder if you could clarify a couple of things for me, please?
It has taken quite a while, but I have finally installed all 4 volumes of the GenX Photoscenery. Volume 8 had been installed first a week or so ago as it had been my intention to leave it at that for a while. However, I was soon persuaded to spring for the other three volumes + Treescapes Vol 6 and 8. I will be purchasing Scotflight-Photo 2.4 in the next day or two.
So, the GenX stuff has been installed in the following order: 8, 6, 4 and lastly Vol 5. Treescapes will soon follow.
I haven't run Prepar3D as yet to check all is well. I used the FSX to Prepar3D migration tool to create a virtual FSX installation and everything appears to have installed correctly including all the relevant entries in Prepar3D's scenery.cfg file.
My question relates to the GenX Vol 6 install. Just before the install completed I was faced with a message asking if I had Vol 4 installed. At that time the answer was, of course, No. The message also stated that there is a file on DVD 1 with instructions as to how I could, in effect, respond in the affirmative at some future time when Vol 4 had been installed. I searched DVD 1 and no such file exists! I presume this has something to do with blending the boundaries where Vols 4 and 6 meet. My assumption is that my response in the negative at the end of the Vol 6 install means that Vol 6 is currently configured as if default scenery lies beyond the boundary between Vols 6 and 4.
I tried repeatedly to post this query at the Playsimspublishing forum, but something is blocking my attempts:
--------------------------------------------------
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Table 'psp_board.spam_words' doesn't exist [1146]
An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
-------------------------------------------------
I've mailed the Board Administrator but have yet to receive a response.
So, Im wondering if you have come across this issue between Vols 6 and 4 and can advise me, short of a reinstall of Vol 6, how I resolve it, assuming there is anything to resolve, that is.
Secondly, am I correct in concluding that product registration of the GenX Vols 4 and 5 is no longer required. I tried, but the address provided with each product is no longer valid and I can find no product registration link at Playsimspublishing.com.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Mike
