Last week I got a copy of SubLogic's Scenery Disk 7 for Flight Simulator II.
I've been busy, so I didn't get a chance to try it until last night.  To be
brief, I couldn't get it to work, so I wondered if anyone else who has it
either has had the same experience, or knows what I am doing wrong.  I quote
the instructions below, followed by a description of what happens to me.

Using a Scenery Disk with Flight Simulator
----------
Amiga

Load Flight Simulator II in the usual way.  When the program has finished load-
ing, remove the FS2 disk and insert the appropriate Scenery Disk. Pull down the
NAV menu as described in your operating manual. Select POSITION SET, and
then enter the NORTH and EAST coordinates of the airport you've chosen from
the directory for the region you'd like to explore (set ALTITUDE to 0). Close the
window, and press the [E] key.  When the disk drive light goes out, press [E]
again to log in the Scenery Disk.

Everything worked ok up to this last step.  The disk drive light went on, the
disk was read seemingly ok (3 or 4 seeks), and all seemed ready for the 2nd
E to be typed.  However, when the E is typed, nothing happens.  In fact, it
can be determined that sometime during or just after the disk read, ALL
keyboard or mouse button input is thereafter ignored (except for Ctl A-A).
Mouse motion and reaction of the pointer is still ok, but a lot of good that
does when there's no reaction to buttons or keys.  So.  What's going wrong?
All disk activity is respect to df0: (it's even weirder if I put it in df1: !
I have tried this thing on both of my 512K 2-drive Amigas and have gotten the
same result on each.  The disk says "AMIGA" on it, and there is no mention of
any particular memory requirement with the package.  I may have to call them.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this...
