When
you fly in the southern parts of NORWAY98 scenery thera
are a few things you must keep in mind. The
sealevel is not allways put on 0 meters. When you enter a
fjord and want to follow it till the end you must remeber
that sealevel is set to 0 meters in the mouth. Very soon
after entering the fjord ( the mouth ) will the sealevel
be set 3 - 100 meters. When you approach the end of the
fjord the level very often is set to 200 meters.
Therefore you must climb to something between 500 - 800
meters if you want a "safe flight level" within
the fjords. Since
FS-default file NORTH.BGL never cares about the Norwegian
fjords gives this file a default level of 800 -1000
meters where a fjord i situated. This raised some
problems when putting mountains around the these. I had
to build a staircase of tiles on different hights around
the fjord and put mountains on every step. For every step
the level rises between 100 - 200 meters. Every
step/tile is app. 5km. From 400-600 meters follows the
default FS-level. I have tried to give every mountain an
exact altitude just as it is in reality. So when you are
Be
very careful flying VFR in valleys with roads but without
rivers. Valleys
with both roads and rivers are reliable. Here and there
you will notice stairs going both up and down. You can
follow Gudbrandsdalen from Lillehammer and north. I
recommend Romsdalen. Start from Bjorli and fly west. Just
enter the valley on 800 meters and follow the valley
west. you will pass
If
you like flying seaplanes you just canīt land on every
lake. Some lakes are placed on mesamountains without
elevated surface. I didnīt dare to make so many elevated
surfaces in this scenery, because I donīt know if they
affect framerate. Anyway they sometime infect large areas
with mountaincrashes. I will solve this
In the area around Wadal and Frya airports is the mountaincrash function removed. Some mountains have been placed upon other mountains and this was something FS disliked. In Kristiansund has the mountaincrash feature also been removed.
More
than 2000 mountains have been designed for the southern
part of Norway. I order to keep a high framerate all
mountains, lakes and cities have been made with very few
points in each polygon. I hope this will not disturb you.
Sometimes I think Within
NORWAY98 are two new files from SWEDFLIGHT added. You can
find these files in VERMLAND.ZIP. If you use SWEDFLIGHT
you just install these files into the library where you
keep your SWEDFLIGHT files. If you donīt use this
scenery you just install these files into your
NORWAY\SCENERY library. These files gives
NORWAY98
has been tested in FS5.1 and also on a slow computer. It
works ok. Most
of the the textures used in the southern part of Norway
have been made by Bo Wiberg and Mats Findell, designers
of SWEDFLIGHT. I
just donīt know how Arne Sundsbo can make so fantastic
buildings.
New
CROPS.R8, CROPSF.R8 and CROPSS.R8 have been designed for
this scenery. They will give you a better
"Nordic" view over farming areas in Norway.
They are especially made for nordic user who prefer
flying in the Scandinavian countries. If your one of us -
you just replace the deault FS crops.r8 with these. Very
soon will new FARM.R8, PRARIE.R8, BROAD.R8 and TUNDRA.R8
be introduced. -
