Status: online 		Here's a guide on how to install downloaded AFPD sceneries from the various free websites. This is a drag-and-drop method which I find is easier and faster, compared to unzipping.

Most downloaded sceneries come in the form of an executable file, and all you have to do is to double click on the downloaded zip file, then double click on the scenery .exe file and this will automatically install it into AFPD. An example is shown below

Note: If there are no .exe and .bat files, then probably all files have been extracted and you may go the the last step (post 5 below)

Status: online 		Finally, open up the scenery folder in AFPD which can be found in this directory C:\Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe\scenery

Drag and drop the scenery folder, and the .geo, lg.bmp, and .bmp files into the AFPD scenery folder

Close all open windows and you're all set! You should be able to load and fly in the new scenery in AFPD.

Status: online 		Graham, the Overstedt scenery files from rcsim.de are "raw" panoramic image files and they need more processing before they can be installed and work in AFPD. If you read the text file in the download, it says you will need to use an AFPD wizard to "create new scenery from pano image". I don't think this wizard is available anymore, and you will still need to map the scenery for collision after that. So, it's a lot of work. Well, there are plenty of good sceneries to choose from. Enjoy!
