FSX Land Class For Southern Africa Scenery (Update 4)

Land Class For Southern Africa, update 4. Update 4 of detailed landclass for the whole southern Africa. Consists of all the previous land class files of fsxWorx20upd1,2,3 and now includes Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. To get the best results from this update it will be advisable to download the latest terrain updates of Aeroworx for Southern Africa. The land class was done with meticulous precision, strictly according to satellite images. By Hannes Steyn, Aeroworx.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Please install the different Aeroworx released Scenery Parts according to their correct number sequence.

2. This scenery will work best with the Aeroworx mesh (FSXMesh0604 Part 1 to 4,FSXMESH0605 Part 1 to 3,FSXMESH0704 Part 1 to 3 and FSXMESH0705 available at www.AVSIM.com) and the latest release of detailed Terrain Features for Southern Africa. The level of the many dams and other vector data have been fine tuned to the elevations as in the Aeroworx FSX Mesh. If you use the default or any other meshes, you may find some dams to be sunken into the ground or sitting on elevated surfaces.

INSTALLATION - FSX

1. Unzip the file “fsxWorx20upd4.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 “fsxWorx20upd4.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 a directory in your FSX main Scenery folder and will be called “AeroworxLC”. The current and future LC will be copied here.

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, “AeroworxLC”. Click on "OK" and then close FS. Restart FS again and the scenery should be activated.

LIMITATIONS:

1. Please run your FSX Mesh resolution at 1m.

2. Some roads will still run over water features. Where the road is intended to cross water, there will be no at bridges at this stage.

3. There will be airfields where the roads/rivers/streams run through the runways. This is caused by incorrect placing of default airports.

4. Due to the limitations in the 76m mesh, water in dams will not always level and up to the dam wall (Please run your scenery at a 1m resolution).
