Status: offline 		First off, sorry for the new thread. This is the final resting place for the tool that I created. Any correspondence should go in here.

I'm pleased to announce that the 2nd version of the AFPD Scenery Installer tool is finished (link below). The tool will take any scenery collection whether it be for Reflex XTR, AFP and even AFPD and install it automatically for use in AFPD.

The ReadMe.txt file explains everything but once you run it, it should be pretty self explanatory.

One thing to note, if you receive an error, it could be that you don't have .NET Framework version 1.1. Just go to http://www.windowsupdate.com and install it.

A few other things to note:
1. There are some sceneries that probably won't work. If you find one that the tool chokes on, email me and let me know which one is having problems.
2. The tool will work with the photorealistic scenes in AFP as well as the 3d scenes!
3. The Reflex XTR scenes convert quite nicely. If a Reflex XTR scene converted fine but the quality is bad, its more than likely the camera the author used. Nothing I can do about that.
4. If you convert an AFP or Reflex XTR scene, there is NO collision information. I would have to reverse engineer AFPD collision info and Reflex XTR info in order to figure out how they both do it, but I have neither the time nor the patience to figure that out (unless IPACS emails me their spec's ).

Hope ya'll enjoy. I know I've been having a blast playing in some of the XTR scenes (which now only takes about 5 minutes from download to flight time).

Dafid: Yes, this is the updated version of the AFP->AFPD converter as well (all in one nice little package).

I found some of the scenerys in reflex wouldnt show in the converter list is this because some of the files are not named
ie when you extract files from zip or drag an drop into scenery folder some of files dont have a name as to whats on the zip
can you help with this one plz.

Status: offline 		Can you give me an example? You should just download the file and unzip it into a folder on your desktop (or other temporary location). Right now the code will just use the directory name where the source files are. If there are no folders within the zip file itself, just create a new folder and unzip them into there.

In the future, I'm thinking about switching over to a wizard interface and asking the user what they would like to call the scenery before it gets installed.

Status: offline 		I don't have Aerofly Pro so it would be too hard for me to figure out how to do it (obviously). If I did have it however, it would still be a pretty big chore. I could probably figure out Reflex to AFP (since Reflex scenes give you a nice easy jpg image to work with) but converting a AFPD scene to AFP would be pretty difficult since I don't know the file format they use.

Status: offline 		HI CODEY
Problem now is when converted and i open the senery up in the sim
and its only on a couple of scens, i get top half of screen sky blue bottom half black with the plane in and a white shadow of the plane been in the geo played around with it and the screen goes black or it comes back to the above.


These i finally got working (MBC Markt Schwaben im Oktober), Also this one is now working (Heli IG-Amt im Schnee). in AFPD

DONT ASK HOW CAUSE I CANT REMEMBER HE HE HE

This happens on (Plankstad_mittags) even the new AFPD down load wont work. from AFP & AFPD scen from rc-sim . see screen shot below.

and also (Mammendorf) from reflex scens from rc-sim. converter wont read at all m8.

Ive toyed around with 2 scens above and still the same codey hope you have better luck latter.

Appart from these most of the others run ok.


by the WAY AMAZING BRILIANT TOOL M8
