Rodrigues Island, Mauritius & Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (FIMR)
Corrected Shorelines,
Landclass, Waterclass, and Updated Airport
for FSX
File Name:
Rodrigues_Island.zip
Author: Carlyle Sharpe
Date of Release: October 31, 2014
Version: 1.00
This project rebuilds Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
Deenesh Suddoo's Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (FIMR) is included with permission
from the author, and is updated slightly for alignment and full AI traffic compatibility. Landclass polygons and coastlines were hand-drawn directly from satellite imagery to provide the most detailed and accurate scenery
currently available for this island.
AI
road and boat traffic is activated for the region. Accurate coastlines and
road data, as well as corrected land and waterclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery.
Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X
v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the
real-life images.
INSTALLATION
1) Terrain mesh (76m or higher) for this region is highly recommended. A free 76m package (Mesh for Southern Africa, Base Grid 0704) is available at http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=fsxMeshX0704w.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search
2) If you have Deenesh Suddoo's original airport, please make sure to disable it before using this version, as it will create scenery conflicts.
3) Copy "FIMR_ADEX_CS_ALT.BGL" from the "Place in Scenery-World-Scenery" folder to the FSX "Scenery\World\Scenery" folder.
4) Extract the "Rodrigues_Island.zip" file. Place the "Rodrigues_Island" folder in your "Addon Scenery" folder. Start FSX and add and activate the new folder through the "Settings - Scenery Library - Add Area..." menus.
5) DISPLAY SETTINGS. Due to the mesh and custom coastlines, please plan on using high mesh and texture resolutions (as displayed below) in order for mesh and coastlines to display properly. You may be able to use slightly lower settings, but the coastlines will eventually lose their proper alignment if the mesh resolution gets too low. Boat and road traffic AI around the island now functions as a result of a population density file that is included for the region. As long as the sliders are turned up, these AI elements will appear as part of the FSX "Living World".
