That will be the one I had in mind. My revisions will be in AIO format. Ie, all the lot in one folder. If you don't operate with AIO, then GD's prog will assign my download to the correct folders. I hope!

No, it is not a quick process to create, which is why I keep a backup copy of each. The theory is that all the files are now in sequence, and much quicker to load, instead of having to hunt through the various folders. And yes I have the file to recreate the original folders for the FSX Horizon Photo scenery. Freelists has banned the zip file I sent. Anyone wants it, I will have to directly mail.

Popular opinion seems to support the view that AIO gives better performance results. Unlike FS9, the FSX Horizon version doesn't take long to convert to AIO.

Before I send it out, how many are, like me, running the Horizon scenery in All In One arrangement?

With the Treescapes autogen trees in use I decided to work my way through the farmstrips, to see if any woody changes were indicated. In many cases they are. Sometimes I've chopped down a few of Darrens, sometimes added my own. It would be tedious but for the effect the trees have. Very ordinary looking strips become stunning, when the real world trees are in place. The trees also divert the eye from the crappy buildings etc. One tool that has made the job easier is Google Earth. In many cases the camera views are available, so the real life tree types and sizes can be reproduced. The other point that emerges from GE is the nature of the strips. No club houses, often no hangars and almost certainly none of the tyres and markers that I've used, to define runway and parking areas. With my recent change of graphics card there are many cases where the strip is so readily identifiable, in FSX, that the markers are not really needed. From the attached GE photograph of Dowland, in Devon, the other point that jumps out is the narrowness of the landing strip. Not much wider than a light aircraft's wingspan, it's bordered by standing crops. With the surrounding trees there are bound to be all sorts of odd wind effects, with no room for error. FSX, by comparison, is an absolute doddle. However, I read recently of a design prog which can provide tall grass etc. Off to do a search, to see if I can't make life more difficult!
