Hello FS 2004, EZ Scenery Chums!...!
Somewhere, amongst my mountains of paper-work, I have my A4 print-outs of all the objects in my 2005 EZ Scenery Library..
.to make it quick and easy to find the object I am looking for..
..but do you think I can find it?..NAH!..not on your Nelly!...!
I've searched the Web, but I am unable to find a location, to download, and print-out, a new A4 set!
So..does anyone know of a print source of the complete EZ Scenery Object library?
It would be so wonderful!..especially as the England Winter snow is finally melting around my ears.. ..!
Paul..FS 2004 + EZ Scenery and LAGO FSSE+FSE..and a Cement Mixer...!

If you have ever tried to place scenery in Flight Simulator, you know how difficult it can be at times. It becomes especially challenging when you try to put two or more pieces of fencing together, or the placement of an object must be precise. There have been advances in technology that have eased this procedure some, such as the Runway 12 Object Placer program, and a few scenery placement tutorials that have surfaced on the internet. But, there is still a lot of room for improvement. And now that improvement has come to light with the introduction of EZ Scenery from Abacus.

Installation of EZ Scenery is simple, but registering the product may prove to be a little more difficult. I will get to that later, but for now the only thing you need to do is follow the on-screen instructions in the auto-install file. You will be asked to accept the terms of use and verify the directory of Flight Sim. There will be a help file placed on your desktop and in the add-on scenery folder. This folder will also contain the Abacus specific scenery included with the program. The help file is a little short, but that is mainly because it does not take much effort to learn this program.
Now that we have the program installed let me show you how it works, and then we can go add some scenery. You will start Flight Sim normally and select an area from the airports list. It doesn't really matter what aircraft you choose, but something smaller might make it a little easier to navigate around in slew mode. Make sure that the time is set to a daylight hour so you can see what you’re doing. Now go ahead and start the flight. Yyou will need to enter slew mode (by pressing the “Y” key) and maneuver to the location where you would like to place a scenery object. A full list of slew commands are available in the FS9 help menu, which you may want to print out to have as a reference.

Conclusions
If you are familiar with other scenery object placement utilities, you will be instantly amazed with the ease of adding scenery with EZ Scenery from Abacus. If you have never placed scenery before, you will likely become hooked after just one use. But don’t take my word for it. Abacus is offering this program for free trial at www.abacuspub.com. The only difference between the free trial and the full program is the fact that the trial version limits object placement to a 50 mile radius of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA).
Of course, the ease of use is a big plus. But there is so much more about this program that has raised the bar to almost unachievable heights. For starters, this program does not run separate from Flight Sim. Therefore, you do not have to keep switching programs to place an object. Also, you can add the fact that the default library and the Abacus library combined with the freeware designer objects add up to an enormously large collection of scenery objects. Tack on the ability to see the object while you are placing it, and the easy maneuverability and alteration of that object and you have the best scenery placement utility ever created for Flight Sim.
Quite simply, the name “EZ Scenery” says it all. This is the easiest way to add that certain something to your favorite airport that Microsoft left out. Whether adding a jetway to a terminal, or completely revamping an entire airport, city, or out of the way area, there is no easier or more precise way to get it done than with EZ Scenery.
