1137.0. "FS-II scenery disk 7 problem." by GVAADG::PERTOSO (Marco Pertoso, Geneva) Fri Feb 05 1988 08:39

    Hello,

    I have just bought a copy of FSII scenery Disk 7. But it doesn't
    work. As written in the doc, I load FSII, remove the disk, enter
    the Scenery disk, press twice the [E] key and finally set the position.
    
    But no world appears. I have reset the position but nothing happend.
    
    any hints ?
    
    I have a A1000 512k  and fsII 1.01.               
    
    Marco.

1137.1I figured it out but...MAADIS::WICKERTMAA DIS ConsultantFri Feb 05 1988 13:1417
    
    Oh geeezzz...
    
    I had exactly the same problem and after much trail and error (about
    2 days worth!) I came up with the right solution. I have it written
    down at home (of course!) but won't have time to enter something
    here until Sunday.
    
    In the meantime, I think you need an extra keystroke in the sequence.
    If I remember correctly you have to hit [E] before you remove the
    FS disk and then again after you put in the Scenery disk.
    
    If you don't come up with the right sequence by Sunday I'll put
    something in for you.

1137.4Hope this works for you!MAADIS::WICKERTMAA DIS ConsultantMon Feb 08 1988 13:1521
    
    Ok. I can't read replies 2 and 3 so I'm going to assume you're still
    having trouble.
    
    I know this sounds strange but it works...
    
    1. Set desired position (from maps that came with Scenary Disk 7)
    2. Hit [E]
    3. Take out FS disk and put in scenary disk
    4. Set position AGAIN
    5. Hit [E] twice
    6. Exit from set position menu
    
    I just verified that this actually works.
    
    After you crash to restart you need to reset the position and hit
    [E] twice again.

    Well, It seems that you are luckier than me Ray. I have tried that
    sequence for one hour without any success. Sob Sob..
    
    Thank you anyway

1137.6Try these...MAADIS::WICKERTMAA DIS ConsultantTue Feb 09 1988 17:0217
    
    Hmmmmm...
    
    I did it myself, just to make sure!
    
    I used North 16135.00
    	   East  20192.00
	   Alt.     16.00
    
    Make sure you use the .00 and wait for all disk activity to finish
    before taking out the FS disk...
    
    I'll run through it again and see if I can come up with any tell-tale
    signs that we can use to debug your sequence.

1137.7Version Mismatch ?!GVAADG::PERTOSOMarco Pertoso, GenevaThu Feb 11 1988 08:4614
    
    Ray,
    
    I called Sublogic yesterday and they told me that it might be a
    mismatch between the version of the fs2 disk (1.01) and the
    scenery disk #7 version (1.1). They decided to send me the new
    version of the flight simulator (1.1). 
    
    I don't know what is your versions. If they are the same as mine
    I thing i'll be in trouble!!:-)
    
    Marco.
    
    (The person i spoke to is called Holly.)

1137.9FS7 works, but no copyVFOFS::PHILLIPSFri Feb 19 1988 18:5116
    I cant remember what version FS I have, but the added instructions
    tell me to type in [e] first...
    
    It promps you to put in the Scenery disk... 
    
    Which I do, and then set posistion... 
    
    It has been working for me...
    
    
    NOW FOR A PROBLEM, I try to copy for backup the fs7 disk... It did
    not work...  Is there some software protection on this little guy??

1137.10Finally I got it !GVAADG::PERTOSOMarco Pertoso, GenevaFri Feb 26 1988 06:1021
    
    Dave, Ray,
    
    I have just received the new version of the flight simulator
    from Sublogic and everything works fine.             
    
    In this version to load the scenery disk i had to follow this
    procedure : 
    
    1) Press [E] key with the fs2 disk in the drive.
    2) Insert sd7 disk as prompted by the screen.
    3) Click the left mouse button to continue.
    4) set position. (set altitude to 0).
       advice: set also the tower position.
    
    Dave, I backup the the scenery disk with Marauder2.
    
    Thank you to both of you for your help. 

    
    Marco.
