Hello, I am trying to manually download FlightGear scenery, but I cannot find the admin wizard to install it. Where should I be looking?

Hi, Firstly are you downloading scenery from here: http://www.flightgear.org/download/scenery/ ? What version of Flightgear are you running? As it is dependent on how you install the scenery. But if you are using a recent version of F/G just start as normal, when the main screen for settings ect comes up, when this shows go to the "add-ons" tab, open it and look for the box that says "install downloaded scenery" and then just follow the instructions. This will then install the scenery for you. As an alternative in the "settings" tab check the auto' scenery download box (Terrasync) Finally if you have the disc space you could use terramaster 1.7 download ( https://github.com/Portree-Kid/terramas ... es/tag/1.7) which tiles you need. The whole world will take about 84Gb of disc space. Choose a folder to download the tiles to, and then point (copy & paste the FULL folder address) F/G to this folder within the "add-ons" tab adding the address to the "additional scenery locations" box. This then has all the tiles you need at hand. Hope this helps?
