Re: Isle of wight

The scenery library for it is available on flightsim.com (ukvfr.zip) but I can't find the IOW scenery anywhere. :dunno: A quick google found some forum threads about installing in FSX, but that's not a lot of good if you c...

Re: Scenery,not showing on new system

W7 has probably blocked the Uk2000 installer from modifying the scenery.cfg. Try right-clicking the insatller & select "run as administrator"
