    Hi Frank,

    Would you also be so kind and point me to a download link ? Hopefully I can manually install, as I don't like auto-installers.
    I have looked for a while in the past and given up on this beautiful scenery as no luck finding it anywhere for FSX. I think it's called Heron's Nest 2.0, or ?
    I would very much appreciate any help.

    Thank-you, and Happy Holidays ! Stay safe.

    This was a freeware gift from master scenery designer Bill Womack in early 2017. It was never, to my knowledge, released to any site other than his iBlueYonder site. I have checked his site but it's not listed as a product and while it is mentioned, none of the links to download are functional anymore. I tried using his "contact" page but it kicks out an error when I try to "send".

    Really enjoyed this in FSX before switching to XP 11. Also tried to download for x-plane and the button aren’t working. Sent message but no reply. Wish it was still available, really enjoyed it for the small landing strip and a great place for my float planes to fly out of.

    Herons Nest

    If you go here and create an account, you should see where Herons nest if offered free. I just revisited the site and when I logged in, I was able to D/L the file.

    Sidler, you have a PM.

    At the top of the page the scenery is offered in the products drop down, you have to add it to you cart. Unless you create an account, your cart will be empty.

    A great place to fly in with the freeware DHC-2 Beaver (wheels mod by Mr.A.F. Scrub), as shown below:

    Hmmm maybe it is a location thing as I am in the UK and site is American. I can log into my account no problem but still can not download the scenery. I click it and it says it is added to the cart but there is nothing there.

    I emailed for assistance but no response - thought maybe it was a Christmas or Pandemic thing....

    Shame though...

    I had a brief chat with Bill Womack the other day. His reply is below.

    The iBlueYonder website is a mess right now. I've been working to move it to a new platform & hosting provider, but it's not done yet. Wordpress appears to have packed it in, and it's no longer very functional. Sorry, hopefully it'll be righted again soon.

    So essentially no, it's not available right now but it's not dead or intentionally withdrawn from circulation. I guess we'll just have to have patience and hope he gets it sorted. If I hear more I'll provide an update.

    I have been moving to P3d v4 and have installed iBY_Herons_Nest_v2_P3D4 but there's a bad elevation issue. Has anyone else found this?
    Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?

    Try to install the addon as an administrator!

    It worked for me!

    Hope this helps!

    dhasdell,

    Have you checked SODE settings for P3D (is it registered?) as the elevation is generated with this tool.

    Regards,

    Jan

    Thank you both. I reinstalled as admin, and SODE didn't want to register, so I deleted and reinstalled that for good measure, and now everything is fine and I can go Nesting again.
