gypsymoth Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've had Instant Scenery in FS9 in Vista for 10 yrs. I had to get a new hard drive. Everything has been reinstalled & is working well but I cannot reinstall IS3 becaue Flight1 have blinded me with science & tell me it cannot be done. This is software I paid for years ago. I'm getting no-where with Flight1 & even buying IS3 again & starting afresh doesn't work. Flight1 won't log into paypal. I wonder if anybody can recommend an alternative?

tiger1962 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 This is almost uncanny. I've just had to update my details with Flight 1 to re-install AFX after 10 years of countless re-downloads! My credit card details were destroyed as requested by my bank when they became obsolete after I made my original Flight 1 order, and I've been obliged to change my email address since then due to hackers. Catch 22. But an email to Flight 1's customer service desk resolved the issue PDQ (thanks again, Jeff!)

gypsymoth Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've got a running ticket ...there's no other way of getting an answer, with 6 or so messages first from Kathy & now Jeff but neither has told me how to get IS3 back into my FS9 on Vista. They blame Vista, firewalls & etc........but no concrete advice about reinstalling it. Is there a IS alternative ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 There's the payware Abacus EZ-Scenery or the freeware FS Scenery Creator, SceneGenX or RWY12 programs.

tgibson_new Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Also, the freeware ADE (Airport Design Editor) can be used to place objects. But EZ Scenery is the only one that will place them within the sim like IS does. I don't know if AFX allows you to do that?

tiger1962 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Unfortunately not, AFX can only place boundary fences and blast fences in FSX mode. It doesn't recognize buildings placed by ADE in either FS9 or FSX modes. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

gypsymoth Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 I'm sorry to hear what you say but not surprised. They refuse to help me reinstall IS3. I'll try EZ Scenery mentioned by Tom Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitegn Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I've been using EZ Scenery (though not recently) in FS2004 on a Win 7 64bit system. The only issues I have had is that it keeps forgetting the registration code which has to be input again. And again. (I copy it from a text file I have on the desktop), and the movement when placing items using the joystick and/or mouse is a bit vicious - easily fixed by temporarily changing some joystick/mouse setting. Can't remember which one - maybe speed or sensitivity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsymoth Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 OK. I used a nice Auster (low & slow) to place items in IS3. Is this something EZ Scenery can accommodate or is it only joy-stick or mouse ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hi, I don't understand? What do you mean by low and slow? I put the sim in Slew Mode and can move as slowly as I like, no matter the plane loaded. And I go to 1/4 speed (R--) which makes it even slower.
