I have been simming for 18 months and following this group for 6 months now
and been posting for the last few.
Made plenty of useful comments to try and help others and sought advice
myself as this
is the place to be. But when it comes to needing real help I'm surprised
that no one has
come to my rescue (See original post below). Can any of you guys imagine
being without
your favorite 'toy' for any length of time. My warranty with the store has
expired so no quick
exchange of a faulty cd. I'm at a loss at not being able to reinstall for
the last 24 hours and all I need in the interim
is 3 little files to get me back on the road or rather in the skies. I'm
that desperate I may even go and purchase another copy.
Sorry this sounds like I should be visiting a shrink rather than my local
GAME store!!

Just been having problems with FS2004. Always looking for ways to improve
on graphics and frame rates as I have a middle of the road system.
Installed
FS Skyworld last night (I think it was this - freeware version anyway). Had
a
negative impact on frame rates so decided not to use it. Had made a backup
of main texture folder and also scenery/world/texture folder as I have
custom textures that I have downloaded and installed over time.
Because clouds and sky were updated by FS World I replaced the folder back
to my backup version. I
then later on, probably stupid at this stage, uninstalled the FS Skyworld
which probably unistalled some of my textures.
Anyway ran FS2004 today and performance was absolutely terrible so I
resigned myself to doing a fresh install. Made a backup of aircraft, gauges
and add-on scenery folders so that I could reinstall them easier after.
Uninstalled FS2004 and did a clean install. All going well until got to
installing Scenery\World.CAB on disk 4 and the disk must have a small
scratch on it. Ignored error and allowed to continue as I was hoping to
manually drag and drop
the BGL files out of the CAB file on disk 4 into the World\scenery folder in
FS9. Got them all apart from 3 files
and no amount is cleaning disk, trying various zip programs seems to work.
The files are as follows:
dw000n45.bgl
dw000n90.bgl
dw060n45.bgl
They total approx 8mb. Dont know whether program will work without them at
certain places.
I was wondering if anyone could email a copy of these 3 files. They are in
disk 4\scenery\world.cab.
Unfortunately this email address is an old dialup with a small mail box size
so if anyone can do it it would be GREATLY appreciated. I dont want to
have to wait a month or longer on a replacement cd from Microsoft to resume
my unhealthy past-time. An alternative address would be at my office which
is chris@mwapartnership.co.uk which has ADSL.
Thankyou in anticipation!!
