I installed Freeflow Bahamas scenery or something else scenery might be wiped taxisigns out. I couldn't find any files in scenery folder. I see some of them are showing taxi_signs.bgl taxi.bgl etc... I don't understand how it works. What is the cause taxisigns disappeared all of the airports were gone? Where do I find main taxiways signs in FS2004 and how to fix this file?
Thanks,
Stuart

first off, in what position in your freeflow scenery? first on the list, 20th on the list (in add-ons) when you select the add-on scenery tab. Sometimes, when you have mesh, or addon terrain or other scenery - the layering gets goobered up. Try positioning that scenery first in your list.
If all else fails, sys restore to before you added it....write them an email describing the issue, and maybe they have a fix...google is your friend.
Also, here is a shareware prog called QLRP4UT (Quantum Leap Repositioning Project for UT) that corrects the errors in positioning of some objects by MS to make them fit with the more accurate UT...if you use it (Ultimate Terrain that is):

lol Goobered = Messed up, fouled it up, installed it wrong, didn't do it right, really dorked up the process, etc.
I would uninstall it and see if you still have the error.

I asked you. Is this installed right in the folder at addon scenery/freeflow bahamas and addon scenery\freeflow bahamas class nad mesh? If not correct how do i delete careful without lost the important component files for FS2004? I did not fooled it up it was automatically install by the application Freeflow and it did itself extract to my FS2004.

Stuart - I'm not really understanding what you want. If the freeware scenery came with a self installer - it SHOULD (and I emphasize should) place it in the correct location. It is the USER responsibility to make sure that if you have FS in a different location than the default, you direct the scenery to the correct location on your system.
Just because a program, that is free, has an auto installer - doesn't mean it will work as you think it should.
For instance, if you have an extra drive where FS is installed on (Such as DRIVE F or DRIVE E), it would be different than the default path which should be:
C:/program files/microsoft games/Flight Simulator 9/addon Scenery
The scenery may have come with an uninstaller - look for that, or try going in to the control panel and add/remove programs and see if there is a way in there...if not, try system restore and see if the problem is fixed.
Try the Freeflow forums:

I already restore TWICE yesterday the scenery did not deleted or changed at all! Stupid Windows Vista! I found out that restore shows we do not change your setting documents or installed recently. Just restore from Windows install update or upgrade to be fixed. I don't understand why Vista do that! I am very angry at Windows programmers!

Finaaaaallly! I found it and it works now. I went to different forum that someone tells me to check texture\aptsigns.bmp if there or not. I see that some stupid programmer intself changed to aptsigns.bak. I edited changed to aptsigns.bmp. It works now. Crazy!
Thanks for trying to helping me out.

You never said you were in Vista - that makes a big difference Stuart. Glad you got it now.

Andrew,
I did not know that Windows Vista doesn't remove any save settings and documents when restore the system. I have had since 2 and half years with Vista. Windows XP is much difference than Vista. It's really no good. I have to be careful with this.
I remember maybe that cause from other scenery installed for Rio De Janeiro scenery with Santo Dumont airport updated. That's possible taxi signs off. I'll look into that later. Probably it's not from Freeflow Bahamas scenery. It's crazy computer stuff. lol.
Thanks again,
Stuart
