    Freeware Heron's Nest 2.0 released

    Hi,

    IBLUEYONDER / Bill Womack released a new version of the Heron's nest. It is great to see developers use PBR techniques on scenery objects.
    The scenery looks absolutely gorgeous and is a profound demonstration of advanced scenery design techniques.

    OK, downloaded and (un)installed it 5 times. Looks great, but your plane "hangs" 100ft above the ground and when you start to run it falls to the ground and crashes. Looked at the forums and discovered that this stuff gives more problems with FSX than flying fun. These guys must have spend hundreds of hours in designing it and then it's sad that the result is a huge disappointment for a simple flightsimmer. hertzie

    I have neither a previous version, nor Perpar 3D, nor FSX SE or whatever is mentioned, just an "old" FSX Acceleration which runs well on my Win7 & 10 machines. But forget about it, I can fly quite well without this scenery. Don't want to spend hours on forums. Thanks for help all of you.

    Not sure if you run ORBX FTX Global Vector or EZDok, but you are describing a situation that may occur when either or both need to be updated.

    ORBX FTX Vector Configuration Tool needs to be updated after you install any new scenery.
    EZ2CA Configuration Tool may need to be run again as well.

    Just a thought...

    On P3D , no previous versions of the Nest or EZCA intalled, it runs flawless. I run FTX golabal vector, but don't think it could be interfering at all. The only thing I see (or rather don't) is the lack of ground shadows of the aircraft. But that might be explainable, if the ground is an 3d object.

    I am still with my opinion that this is a really exceptional piece of work.

    Herzie, did you ask for help on the iBY forums? I'm always there to help out with any issues that crop up. In addition, there's an FAQ specifically for this version of the Heron's Nest that should solve just about any problem you encounter. I can't provide support on other forums - there's just not enough time in the day for it. If you'll pose any questions on the official support forum, you'll get help.
