My Cousin Pauline emigrated to Canada immediately after WW2 to marry her Canadian soldier fiancé. They had a very happy life together in Ottawa and later in Penticton, British Columbia. Its just occurred to me that its such a bind trying to follow female family lines because once married the original names get lost. You never know. You could find yourself marrying a member of your own family! Just noticed you're a Navy fella. I was Army and served in Malaya during the insurrection in the early 50's. John

Got 'em all white now. Textures were missing in Global. John

Hi Bob Many years back....perhaps 200 years or so, my family came south from Northamptonshire to London so there could be a connection somewhere. My great, great, great (or thereabouts) Grandfather was Sir David Garrick who built the Crystal Palace. From there it was all downhill and my nearest past relatives and me all lived in East London. All the best. John

Hi Brett, Is Ray still around? I'll try the re- download again first I think. Thanks. John

Hi Andrew, Yes I had it working perfectly and I think the feller you were referring to in the P3D forum was me! I've not so far found a solution to the black turbines and chimneys with my rebuilt 'puter so I'm still looking. John

Goodness me. I'm so sorry. I completely missed these posts. I hope you chaps are still around. Yes Dai, I'm the same one from the Horizon forum. Actually, I am still using that scenery as a base for everything else that's gone over the top since! John

A hard disc on my computer broke. Instead of just replacing it the repairers decided to strip the contents and reinstall Microsoft Windows so I lost everything on my three discs! Thank goodness for backups! Anyway, the last item to replace I've had to put back is Power Projects 4.2. That's fine but the Wind Turbines and Chimneys are now black. I'm using P3Dv4.2. over photographic scenery. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can make them white again please? Many thanks. John

Nice Pics Bob. Are we related? John York

Some good news Ray. It took a while, weeks actually, but I took a short flight today from EGNJ Humberside to EGNV Durham Tees Valley and guess what? Steam was coming out of the chimneys! I haven't changed anything so what I don't understand is why the effects took so long to have an effect! P3D is a continual mystery to me. All the best. John

First of all I can't see Power Projects working well with Orbx Scenery. Besides, I think Orbx has its own although I've yet to see any. Even if Power Project shows, it will be in the wrong place! Remember, Orbx is not a reliable or accurate representation of the actual scenery. It only provides a flavour of what a place looks like. Only photo scenery can give you sight of the actual scenery. Power Projects enhances it because it shows objects in the actual place which the photo scenery can't show or wasn't there when the pictures were originally taken - the wind turbines for example

What an emotive video of one of the many courageous parts, ladies participated in during the 2nd world war. I raise my hat to all of them. John

Yes, files destined for them need careful placement. There are Textures in Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv2\texture and in Scenery\Global\texture. Goodness knows why they should be in two places but they are. Of course, there are texture files with every addon too, so it can all get a bit confusing. I don't know if anyone has ever tried an 'All In One' file for them? Would vertainly make it all a lot simpler. Despite all the care I took, I was missing a few texture files. I think actually I probably put them in the wrong location. Anyway, I'm now happy to say I've got millions of Pylons a

My fault. I forgot I had set ASN Next to operate when the sim' started! Working fine now. John

I've put Power Projects 4.2 on with P3D 2.5+ and sorry to report that the wind turbines are black. Obviously a texture problem. And I haven't seen a pylon or chimney yet. Having printed your installation instructions and worked to them carefully I'm sure I put it all in. I don't think P3D 2.5 likes stuff mucking about with its files! John

I just got the latest ASN update and that blinking notice has appeared again! It never one thing but another with flight simming! John
