FSX Beaufort West Airfield Scenery

Beaufort West Airfield (FABW), South Africa. Because of its strategically geographical important position this small airport is becoming more popular with especially pilots of smaller aircraft. As a stop-over and refueling point between Cape and the Northern Provinces, east and west, its popularity is growing by the day. The airport manager and his wife who offers B&B as well as a beautiful night out at "the gateway to the Karoo" as they call it, see to a splendid and enjoyable open and star filled overnight for those who care to call. By Aeroworx, Hannes Steyn, Martin du Preez.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. This scenery will work best with the Aeroworx mesh (FSXMesh0604 Part 1 to 4 and FSXMESH0704 Part 1 to 3). The level of the many dams and other vector data has been fine tuned to the elevations as in the Aeroworx FSX Mesh. If you use the default or any other meshes, you may find the level of the resorts to be sunken into the ground or sitting on elevated surfaces.

2. We have withdrawn our Aeroworx Version 1 mesh and Version 2 that is compiled with the latest compilers (FSXMesh0604_Part1.zip).

LIMITATIONS:

Please run your scenery at a 1m resolution.

INSTALLATION - FSX

1. Unzip the file “fsxWorx08.zip” to a temp directory. We strongly suggest that you create a directory for keeping the future Aeroworx FSX download scenery files.

2. Double click the “fsxWorx08.exe” file and the auto installer will start. The installer will get your FSX install path from the registry, just follow the simple instructions.

3. The installer will create two directories in your FSX main Scenery folder and will be called “SASceneryFSX” and “AeroworxLC”. The current and future scenery will be copied to these folders.

4. You may also install the file to a temp directory. You will then be able to see the directory structure. Then copy the files over to the proper directories in FSX. DO NOT place our files in your own directories, future updates will only look for the files where the installer installed them to.

5. If this is your first installation of Aeroworx Scenery, Start FSX and go to the "Scenery Library", "Add Area" and then point to this newly created directory, “SASceneryFSX”. Also add the “AeroworxLC” directory. Click on "OK" and then close FS. Restart FS again and the scenery should be activated.
