FSX / P3D scenery

FSX Los Angeles Scenery

Los Angeles, California scenery corrects the placement of two iconic landmarks, moving the Hollywood sign to a more realistic hillside location and positioning Dodger Stadium properly in Chavez Ravine for better visuals. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it also adds a few default objects to the ridge above the sign and supports Ultimate Terrain USA.

Los Angeles, California (CA). Fixes two misplaced landmarks, the Hollywood sign and Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodger baseball team. By Lance Tucker.

This is a small project undertaken as a learning process for the new scenery design tools for FSX. It serves to "fix" two small areas of the Los Angeles, CA. area; the Hollywood sign and Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team. In default FSX the Hollywood sign sits atop of the hill, while in real life it sits slightly south, on the downslope towards the area referred to as Hollywood. Dodger Stadium sits in an area known as Chavez Ravine, which in default FSX meant sitting in a hole. Both of these are better positioned, but in no way are meant to be an exact duplication of either landmark. This package also places default items up on top of the hill above the Hollywood sign, but again are not meant to be an exact duplication of the real area.

Installation is via standard scenery installation practices. Extract the zip keeping the folder structure intact. Cut and paste the LA_cleanup folder to the \Addon Sccnery folder within FSX. Note there is not, nor should there be a texture file listed under LA_cleanup. Start FSX, select Settings, Scenery Library, Add Area and navigate to LA_cleanup, press OK. Now fly around and enjoy a part of SoCal.

This addon is for FSX and will work with Ultimate Terrain : USA for FSX. However, with UT:USA for FSX I would recommend renaming the file cvx_stadium_lot.bgl to cvx_stadium_lot.bak.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

Extract the downloaded archive

Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
Place scenery in Addon Scenery

Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
Activate in Scenery Library

In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
Always read the included readme

Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
