Terrasync inst loading scenery past the preloaded stuff. I'm on version 3.2 and have Intel integrated graphics on Windows 8.1

A small hiccup in your Internet connection might have corrupted the TerraSync folder. I'd suggest:
  1. getting a SVN client (on Windows, use TortoiseSVN);
  2. "cleaning up" the TerraSync scenery folder (with TortoiseSVN: open Explorer, go to C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\FlightGear, right-click on the TerraSync folder and choose TortoiseSVN -> Cleanup).
This should make TerraSync happy again.

I'd also suggest using TerraMaster to download scenery - it downloads TerraSync scenery before you fly in the area (so it removes the need to have a very fast Internet connection active while flying).

There's no cleanup there, it has is repo-browser, export, create repository here, import, settings, help, and about.

Ah. No need to go into a menu. Just go back to the main interface, mark up the tile(s) with the airport and hit the sync button. That will download/sync those tiles with the latest TerraSync scenery and objects and will hopefully correct your problems. ;) :)

Johan was making a reference to the TerraMaster interface - however, I think you need to clean up the TerraSync folder first (with TortoiseSVN) as I don't know if TerraMaster has such a functionality.

I'll check the details and reply first thing in the morning.

I checked on my laptop. This should be the correct procedure:
  1. go to C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\FlightGear;
  2. right-click on the TerraSync folder;
  3. if an item named SVN Upgrade working copy appears, do not continue;
  4. if it does not, choose TortoiseSVN -> Clean up:
    Image
  5. click OK in the dialog that appears.

What happens if you try to perform the cleanup on the subdirectories of:
  • C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\FlightGear\TerraSync,
  • C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\FlightGear\TerraSync\Terrain,
  • C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\FlightGear\TerraSync\Models and
  • C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\FlightGear\TerraSync\Airports
instead? (I had a quick look at the source code and it seems that TerraSync, unlike TerraMaster, checks out each tile separately - hence why you don't see the "Cleanup" context menu item on the top directory).

I think there is also a problem here: http://terrascenery.googlecode.com/svn/ ... a/Scenery/
I've uploaded a new model with this site: http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/app.p ... ew&id=4789 And recieved a message it would be placed the other day, but after 3 days it's still not in terrasync.

yes. we can't update googlecode.com anymore and in a few months it will totally go offline.
but we have a new svn server and some mirrors.
have a look at

http://scenery.flightgear.org/svn-server

to see which mirror-server is best for you.
In the log window of "scenery download" inside Flightgear
you can see which server is used:
Code: Select all
Quering closest terrasync server
Closest TerraSync Server:http://foxtrott...
