In free fight, cannot get any of the ships, AA, or vehicle anchorages to show up. Plus can't find two of the Burma ports in the in-game start location list. I'm pretty sure I have installed everything correctly as per instructions including the GSL files. I did not install any of the scenery for Port Moresby since I have most of it plus I just wanted the ports in the Indo-Pacific. The instructions say the Layouts have the above items and to get these items you have to load the Layouts?. Can I assume that if you don't use the layouts, the items won't appear in free flight? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Only what is in the GSL will show in free flight.AA is not in GSL because the guns won't fire.The layout files are made for the creation of missions.
Maybe you should get some of Uncle Tgt scenery it makes the whole CFS2 experience better.He is working on Burma at this time.
He has done the Solomons,Rabual,Truk,Marianas and much more of the Pacific.Mission and campaigns have been done in some of these areas.
Maybe you should slow down and learn more about CFS2 and how things work, are done,that can be done and can't be done.

I figured as much about the GSLs. I found out that most GSLs provided with add-on scenery don't have ships along with certain other items not included with the provided GSL and that the user
would have to add items, whatever they are, if not included to the existing GSL. Something I don't have the skill yet to do. Some of the provided GSLs have the same items as the the layouts that are provided , but not many. As for Layouts, it seems that you have to use the Mission Builder to create, save, load and use Layouts. Something also I have no skill in doing. I just have to use what's provided with add-on scenery and follow the instructions. I do have a number of UT sceneries in the some of my installs. Just thought I would mention what I concluded above. In spite of what you might think, I do know a lot about CFS2 and what can and can't be done and how things work though not everything. Thanks for the info.

Do you know planes and ships need different effects depending on who made them and the program they used?How about fixing the gun sight if it's set to high or to low?What about fine tuning a plane to it's actual specs?Do you know if you use the mission builder to edit missions you can ruin the mission because the hand editing will disappear?Mission builders not only build missions in the MB but also hand edit them to tweak to get how they want them.
I also have flown-P-38,P-40E,P-47D,P-51D,F4u-D and Spitfire Mk IX.I own a P-40E,F4u-d and the Spitfire.Some of the planes in CFS2 are very close to the real ones/It's not a knock on the creators,they just never flew them.There are some pilots in here that make planes and do great job because they know how they fly.

Thanks for the advice. I think everyone who builds and creates objects, planes, ships, scenery in CFS2 for the rest of us are a extremely talented bunch of people, including you and we should be grateful for them making the sim as good as it is. The only thing I really want to change in any of the add-on and stock missions is starting from the air and maybe an occasional ship or plane. Happy flying.
