|
|
I need all your help....
I just purchased FS 2004 and I would like mostly, to start with, to fly on the French riviera (Cote d'Azur) enjoying the scenery I know so well when on ground.
I would like to see the Towns like Cannes, Nice, Montecarlo and villages like Eze, Cap Ferrat and so on.
I saw several options: Roads of France and Waters of France, France 1 (airports of the area) , VFR guides-Azur Alpes and the coming Fligh Riviera.
Not being familiar with the simulator I would like some suggestion on which would give me the best result (even more of them together if compatible) as reality and 3dimensionality. (an acceptable compromise, of course)
Very grateful to anyone who can help me.
Tks and regards

It's always a game of give and take as well as trial and error. First, update the terrain mesh for the area to give a more realistic contour. You can get some here, http://www.simviation.com/fsdterrainsrtm.htm , just read carefully and follow the directions. Then add on your roads and check it out, then waters and re-check it, etc. etc.
Occasionally you will run into a few errors, but the best look and feel is obtained (in my opinion) with more accurate terrain mesh, so double check the readmes' of any scenery you get to see if it has any warnings about compatibility with other addons such as terrain mesh and so forth. If you find an error, dont hesitate to contact the author about updates. Have a nice flight and see you on deck. |

For anyone interested in the same subject:
I found EXACTLY what I was looking for at the <frp.fr.st Website> where there are descriptions and screen shots and downloaded FREE the scenery at <library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004scen&DLID=41034>
After several days of reserce and getting a bit hopeless about it, now I can say thanks to a forum reply, I got what I wanted.
Hoping this will bne helpful to some of you loving the same area.
My best regards

You said it....several days of research....I appreciate your frustrations, but one must remember that due to the vast mountain of files and data related to Flight Simulator, it will most likely take days to search throught it all, wait for forum replys etc.
Glad we could help if we did, hope you enjoy FS as much as we do and see you on deck. |
