W001N61 missing

[cj75s]

Hi

I was placing some oil platforms in the northern north sea i.e. North east of Shetland, using the UFO.
On completion I pressed 'e' and went to the ufo file and copied the Object_share lines ready for pasting. The file told me the objects were placed in W010N60/W001N61/xxxxxxxx.stg
so I browsed over to W010N60 but could not find W001N61.

Here is a copy of the output file. I've only included the first platform object as the others were the same really.

As you can see the stg path type is set to that folder w001n61but it deosnt exist in its parent folder w010n60.

Could I just create the folder called W001N061 within the folder W010N60 and write an stg file with my placed platform Object_share data?

The idea is that oneday when I find my old joystick I shall then have 2 sticks to fly a chopper out there.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Solved. Just did what I was asking and it works fine.

Hi cj75s,

W001N61 is all ocean, which are not generated. So even though this is a valid tile location, the fact that it is an empty location is why you cannot find it.

Yes, you can manually create the folder. Custom scenery should be placed into a folder separate from the TerraSync maintained folders to avoid having TerraSync overwrite your changes.

Suggestion:
/fgCustomScenery/mystuff/Objects/W010N60/W001N61/2942400.stg
Then configure the Launcher to look for scenery in this folder
Launcher > Add-ons > Additional Scenery Folders > /fgCustomScenery/mystuff
