Marquesas Islands South re-upload. Modification of the default scenery of Hiva Oa in the (south) Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Airport of Atuona ajusted as per Bing Maps. Also the coastlines have been modified, some villages, some landclass and some scenery items added. Reworked is not only Hiva Oa but also Tahuata, Mohotani, Fatu Hiva and Fatu Huku. Re-upload of earlier incorrect upload. By Willem Noordhuizen.

My first attempt at scenery design. A work in progress.

After having watched Just Planes' DVD 'Air Tahiti' I decided to take a shot at modifying the default scenery of Hiva Oa in the (south) Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. You will find the airport of Atuona (in real life renamed Jaques Brel Airport after the famous Belgian singer who is buried on the island) ajusted as per Bing Maps (using SBiulderX and ADE9x). Also the coastlines have been remodyfied, some villages , some landclass and some scenery items added using Instant Scenery. Reworked is not only the coast of Hiva Oa but also of Tahuata, Mohotani, Fatu Hiva and Fatu Huku.
The scenery was made for Oceania - Asia SRTM Terrain, mesh by Thomas Trewin. Futhermore you will see most scenery items with Acceleration Pack, Rwy12.zip library files and EZ_1.zip.

Installation:
Put the file NTMN_ADEX_WJN_ALT in your Scenery/World/Scenery folder. The folder 'marquesas isl_south' can go anywhere as long as you activate it via the 'add scenery' standard scenery library activation. Usually the folder is put in the Addon Scenery folder.

Known issue: the mesh for Mohotani has an odd effect on the south side of the island. It is the same in the default scenery (without added mesh) and I have not found a way to correct this yet.

The scenery works on my computer and the islands are way out in the pacific so it shold not interfere with other scenery. Use this scenery at your own risk however.

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.
