Help! senery issues

so I've had flight gear for about 3 weeks and found it brilliant, but anywhere in Europe and the UK is apparently underwater. I've enabled auto scenery download, but i it doesn't do anything.
please note i have no idea with anything like coding so i am a total idiot when it comes to in-depth technology!


much appreciate any help. :D

Welcome to the forum, Matt! :D

You could try downloading the scenery you need with the graphical TerraMaster scenery manager.

I have the same problems at this moment. In 2020 I used many airports in the Nederlands, Norway, Mallorca ... but now I use Honolulu en Island. Europe has no scenery anymore, they are all under water!?. Also some requests SAR service!?. Now a new problem. Loading “TerraMaster” next to FG.? How do I do that? I have to study. Thanks. Joop Kruize also new on FG (one month) Windows 10 IC,i7 x64 bits, ACER, newest FG 2020.3.5.

do you have scenery download enabled in the launcher? if not, you should so FG can download the scenery for where you fly and you won't have only water...

"Why not?" said Gurder.

Or you could try to use the Terramaster to download the scenery manually. See http://wiki.flightgear.org/TerraMaster
