How to install:

  1. Cose FSX.
  2. Extract zip file.
  3. Go to [Microsoft Flight Simulator X] ---> [Scenery] ---> [0004] ---> [Scenery] and move the following files to your backup folder in the NORTHERN_COOK_ISLANDS folder: APX05350, cvx0335, cvx0336, cvx0436, cvx0535.
  4. Run FSX.
  5. Add folder NORTHERN_COOK_ISLANDS to your scenery library.
  6. To select airport go to "Cook Islands" and choose "Northern Cook Islands" as state/province.

Display settings:

  • LOD radius: medium is enough.
  • Mesh complexity: 75 is enough.
  • Mesh resolution: 19m ---> you don't need a mesh addon.
  • Texture resolution: 1m.
  • Water effects: Max 2x.
  • Scenery complexity: normal is enough
  • Autogen density: very dense is ok but extremely dense looks best.

Weather settings:

If you set visibility at 48km or less it will look mighty real and you won't need a large LOD radius setting.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. 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.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

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

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

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

  4. 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.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
