Golden Hawaii woes

[logjam]

Hello,

First, I hope I put this topic in the right section of the forums. If not, I very much apologize.

I have been having trouble with the great Golden Hawaii scenery - part of it is my fault!

After installing the scenery, I noticed it would cause my sim and my computer to freeze up completely - no responses at all (I had to pull the comp plug to reboot). I decided to uninstall and reinstall the scenery. However, I mistakenly just deleted the "ocen" folder and did not use the "Delete Scenery" option within MSFS. Doing this caused MSFS to look for the scenery and not find it. Any time I restarted MSFS I would get the error message that it could not find the Ocen folder.

I reinstalled the scenery, but no matter what I do, I am stuck with the Golden hawaii and all other airports are turned off. Even if I hit the "Original MS" scenery option in the "Golden_Hawaii" application!

What can I do to get the original scenery back? I am getting the error message "SCENERY.CFG error. Local scenery directory (Scenery\Ocen\SCENERY) in scenery Area.011 not found. Click OK to continue."

In fact, after I reinstalled the scenery, if I go to the Settings and Scenery Library in MSFS and hit "add scenery", it says the path already exists, but it does not show up displayed in the scenery list! Therefore I cannot fully delete or add?

Clicking OK lets me run MSFS fine, but with modern Hawaii turned off permanently. (?)

Any suggestions?

You have two seperate problems.
First, remove Golden Hawaii completely to eliminate any conflict.
Second, You will need to restore the OCEN secnery from your FS9 install disks. That will replace the default OCEN scenery that you deleted.

third, Carefully, following all instructions, re-install Golden hawaii if you wish. Read the part about switching very carefully. If in the future, you wish to remove Golden Hawaii, use the switcher to restore Modern Hawaii and then delete only the GH sub folders from OCEN.

Hello,

Thank-you very much for your reply!

Two questions:

- What is the recommended manner in removing Golden Hawaii?

- How do I restore the OCEN scenery from my FS9 disks?

Thanks for your help! I hope to reinstall this scenery soon, as it is great!

Kind Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike-
Sorry to take so long...
The best way to remove all traces of Golden Hawaii is to unzip the file again into a temp folder. Then examine the contents. That will give you a roadmap to where everything is installed.

The OCEN scenery is in OCEN.CAB on CD-4. That can be extracted with most zip programs
