NORWAY98

2. Installation

2.1 Installing the files

Remove or deactivate any other scenery covering Norway, if you have any. The default fsw95/98-scenery has only one/two airport(s) with navaids/runway in this area: Bergen-Flesland and Oslo Fornebu, but the CD-rom scenery has inaccurate coastlines, peculiar green sloping hills and synthetic mountains popping up everywhere. We therefore recommend that you deactivate the default cd-rom Europe scenery when entering Norwegian territory. See below (2.2) how to do this. You'll probably improve your frame-rate too, by doing this,

DO NOT MIX THESE FILES WITH OLDER VERSIONS OF THE SCENERY, MAKE A "CLEAN" INSTALLATION !

Make folders outside the FS-folder system: D:\FLTADDON\NORWAY\ (if D:\ is the letter of your hard drive). Make subfolders:

D:\FLTADDON\NORWAY\NORWDOC (for the documentation files)

D:\FLTADDON\NORWAY\SCENERY (for the scenery files)
D:\FLTADDON\NORWAY\TEXTURE (for the texture files)


Fig.1 Folderstructure

DO NOT PUT THE SCENERY UNDER THE MAIN DEFAULT SCENERY FOLDER IN FS5.1/FS6/FSW98 !

The Norway98 Scenery contains the following zip files:

1.NORW98BG.ZIP: scenery-files extract them into the NORWAY\SCENERY folder

2.NORW98TX.ZIP/: texture-files, extract them into the NORWAY\TEXTURE folder

IMPORTANT:
To get nordic light and wintertexture on the ground we have enclosed the files: Crops.r8, Cropsf.r8, Cropss.r8, Cropsw.r8. First, find the original files with the same name in your D:\FLTSIM98\TEXTURE (main-directory) and make back-ups or rename them: crops?.old.
THEN COPY OUR CROPS-FILES TO
YOUR MAIN TEXTURE-DIRECTORY: D:\FLTSIM98\TEXTURE:

3.NORW98CR.ZIP: CROPS.R8 texture-files (as pointed out above) extract them into the FLTSIM98\TEXTURE folder

4.NORW98DO.ZIP: documentation in HTML-format, use your WEB-browser and open the start.htm file


Make the scenery active through the Scenery Library menu in the FS5.1/FSw95/FSw98-program, (see below 2.3). Thats all there is to it.

Text-files:

Readmeno.txt - Information about this documentation.

Norwapt.txt -airport facilities information for fsw95 users

Norwnav.txt - detailed navaids information

2.2 Deactivating other scenery

Click on "World/Scenery Library" in the fs5/6/98-menu, and OK in the warning dialog box. Click on "Files"/"Scenery Area Files" to enter the listing of installed scenery-files. Browse to Fs95/98/fs5 CD ROM-Europe and mark the line (black). Click on the EDIT-button, and in the next dialog, click on the button "Scenery Area Active" to deactivate the scenery. Then click OK 3-4 times to leave the Scenery Library an return to flight-modus. The default Europe-scenery is now deactivated. To reactivate it, repeat the steps above and click the "active" button.

2.3 Activating the new Norway scenery

Click on "Scenery Library" in the fs5/6/98-menu, and OK in the warning dialog box. Click on the "add files"/"add" -button to open the edit scenery area dialog. In the "Scenery Area Path", write the exact path where you installed the scenery files, f.x: D:\FLTADDON\NORWAY\SCENERY\*.BGL. (the ending: *.BGL is important). Now the Title-line activates and write: Norway. Then choose "Local" for the scenery and click button "Scenery Area Active".
