==== Incompatible Scenery ==== | |||
Using e.g. google, it is easy to find out-of-date scenery | |||
files -- along with out-of-date instructions. If you install | |||
such scenery, you will get messages such as the following: | |||
Failed to open file .../data/Models/fgfsdb/localizer.xml | |||
Failed to open file .../data/Models/fgfsdb/WaterWorks30m.xml | |||
Failed to open file .../data/Models/fgfsdb/GenericStorageTank5m.xml | |||

Failed to open file .../data/Models/fgfsdb/GenericStorageTank20m.xml | |||
Failed to open file .../data/Models/fgfsdb/GenericStorageTank30m.xml | |||
You might get only a few such messages, or you might get | |||
screenful after screenful. | |||
So, beware, make sure you download scenery files that are | |||
compatible with the version of fgfs you are using. | |||
This obviously counts as a trap for the unwary. It could | |||
also be considered a missing feature, in the sense that it | |||
would be nice to put version markers in the files, and have | |||
the software detect bad versions and print some sort of | |||
user-friendly message (rather than screenfuls of unfriendly | |||
verbiage). | |||
