if you are using the later versions of linux ysflight such as those after 2015, you're out of luck. if I remember correctly, those builds refuse to load dnms that have their constituent srfs outside of the dnm file ie. exploded dnms which happens to be pat's style of making ground objects. this also affects aircraft, so u might not be able to load utachy's aircraft such as the mrj and tristar as well.
That could be the cause of the problem, but should it not happen with the later Windows and Mac OS versions of YSFlight as well?

Can you tell us exactly what error you're getting? Is it the "Cannot load..." error? I have that exact same treeforest.dnm file also but I have a few others, like treeforest1.dnm etc. From the looks of it you might not have the treeforest.srf file, check to see if you have that. If not, you might need to update the ground pack.
I do have treeforest.srf as listed below:
Code: Select all
... ~/software/ysflight/user/neocon/ground $ du -b treeforest*
154 treeforest1.dat
393811 treeforest1.srf
11362 treeforest2cl.srf
154 treeforest2.dat
17885 treeforest2.srf
153 treeforest.dat
2981 treeforest.dnm
504216 treeforest.srf
I have provided a screenshot of the error message.
I am using the latest YSFlight edition, as that was the logical and easiest thing to do after not using YSFlight for years and not having quick local access to an older version at the present moment.
Also, might be worth noting that the error dialog appears exactly 10 times, I assume that is the number of instances of the particular entity that causes this error, wherever they are.
(Due to conflicting/outdated version codes in the various included files and readmes, I'm not sure what the version datecode is for my YSFlight version, but the zip file 'YsflightForLinux.zip' contains files with datestamps of 8-May-2015. The same zip extracted and running as my showcase server is listed as 20150425 by the YSFHQ server list.)

The grouping called "PMNETREEFOREST" is not visible, but individual trees appear OK.
In case it matters, here's my personal record of case changes made to my copies of the mod files during troubleshooting:
Code: Select all
user/neocon/ground/treeforest.dat: "PMNETREEforest" - corrected to all uppercase.
tree10m.dat: "PMNETREE10m" - not changed, I couldn't find whether other files referred to these trees by upper or mixed case.
tree25m.dat: "PMNETREE25m" - unchanged
tree50m.dat: "PMNETREE50m" - unchanged
tree100m.dat: "PMNETREE100m" - unchanged
treepalm30m.dat: "IDENTIFY PMNETREE_Palm30m" - corrected to uppercase
tree10m.srf, tree25m.srf starts with "Surf" - corrected to uppercase "SURF"
I really don't know. Maybe the real problem is my inability to
see the forest for the trees?
Yes, I know my puns are deadly.
I'm back.
