ftldave Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 If you are talking about www.rikoooo.com, not rikooo, it's out of France and specializes in reliable installer packages for FSX and FS2004. The installers are tested, suitable for those who have little computer knowledge. I don't think there's any really unique content - many times you can find the same aircraft here and elsewhere, but Rikoooo's downloads are a snap to install, vetted and tested to be reliable, unlike here and at other sites. Once registered there, they send periodic email notices when new content is available. It's a nice site, and I like how they post multiple screen shots for every aircraft and scenery.

svpst Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have downloaded a couple of their planes but the last two times, the installer has cleaned FSX_SE (simobjects folder) right off my computer. I mean zap, the simobjects folder was deleted. I tried to download the Jet Blue Airbuses and another package i don't recall, same result. Possibly because it was FSX-SE but I down loaded the OFX Mesh scenery and its fine. I do see a file on their site now called FSX to FSX Steam Edition so maybe that is a fix, but I'm not sure I want to take another chance and have to reinstall again but it was just the simobjects file. Could it be because I'm using a symbolic link. FSX_SE is on my SSD drive C and my planes are all actually on my HDD drive F. Brian W.

b52bob Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Opposite to that. I have installed many from the site with no problems. He lists planes by manufacturer making them easy to find and let's you know in advance if they are a port over or fsx native. Most are aircraft that are available on other sites but his installers are great and you can easily find some downloads that you have missed. Just wish I spokefrench so I could participate in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I have downloaded and installed several scenery packages from there with no problem. However, I found that their Hawaii Photoscenery package was incomplete. It's suppoed to be in several parts, but it seems you only get the last part. Postings to their support, both directly and through their forums has not helped. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usb777 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I believe this is where I downloaded mine at Avsim if it's the same one. http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=hawaii&FileName=&Author=&CatID=fsxscen Scroll down at the bottom of the page.

svpst Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Apparently the "fix" they put out there works. Its seems the "old installers didn't recognize the difference betwee FSX and FSX-SE. I put in the fix and the installed the Jet Blue aircraft with no problem. Brian W. I5-8400, EVGA GTX 1070.ti, 16 gigs ram, 500g Samsung SSD, 1.5 T HDD, 1 T HDD, Win 10, 64bit.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Mike, Thanks for the link, I'm downloading that right now. However, I think the one on Rikooo is different, I remember part 3 being about 800 MB, and the total download should have been about 3.5 GB according to my (ailing) memory.

annber Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Jorgen, I have made a photoscenery area covering Oahu and also some of the areas where the excellent rikoooo download had cloud coverage. It was made using Sbuilderx, I wanted to post it here but the download is too big. Let me know if you want it and I will make it available, I understand I can legally post it as long as it is freeware and I did not use google sat. Bernardo.
