FSX, OAHU-scenery Version 1.0 This scenery sits on top of "MegaSceneryX - Hawaii - Honolulu and Oahu Island", SO IT REQUIRES THE MEGASCENERY X - Hawaii - Honolulu & Oahu Island" photo scenery from http://www.megascenery.com/ This is primarily an Autogen scenery with some custom developed objects for the coast of Oahu.I used autogens from default FSX for the most part as well as the FSX Acceleration. IF you did not install acceleration, it should not be an issue. you would just not see some of the autogens from the acceleration package. I have also included some custom built GMAX Objects with this package. There is a an AFCAD file for a new fictitious Heliport that is included "PMMH".This scenery package also includes a Mission called "Oahu Sacred Falls Landing". It is a short mission without any surprises or twists, yet I am confident many of you would find it interesting and very very challenging. But do not be discouraged at the difficulty of completing the mission. You may want to turn off crash detection to make it easier if you'd like. The fun is in the journey..right?

FSX, OAHU-scenery Version 1.0 February 25th 2008

By: Manny Mahadevan
Description:

This scenery sits on top of "MegaSceneryX - Hawaii - Honolulu and Oahu Island", SO IT REQUIRES THE MEGASCENERY X - Hawaii - Honolulu & Oahu Island" photo scenery from http://www.megascenery.com/

This is primarily an Autogen scenery with some custom developed objects for the coast of Oahu.

I used autogens from default FSX for the most part as well as the FSX Acceleration. IF you did not install acceleration, it should not be an issue. you would just not see some of the autogens from the acceleration package. I have also included some custom built GMAX Objects with this package. There is a an AFCAD file for a new fictitious Heliport that is included "PMMH".

This scenery package also includes a Mission called "Oahu Sacred Falls Landing". It is a short mission without any surprises or twists, yet I am confident many of you would find it interesting and very very challenging. But do not be discouraged at the difficulty of completing the mission. You may want to turn off crash detection to make it easier if you'd like. The fun is in the journey..right?

Lastly, I have included a fix for my MM_PHNGv1 scenery as part of this package.

Installation:

The Installation consists of three Parts. The Oahu scenery Installation, The Mission Installation and the MM_PHNG upgrade/fix Installation (IF you have installed the MM_PHNGv1 Scenery).

A. MM_OAHU scenery Installation.
--------------------------------

1. Extract the zip into your main FSX Addon Scenery folder,

MM_OAHUv1
|> MM_Oahu
|> scenery
|> texture
|>MM_Oahu.Screenies
|> effects
|> sound
|>MM_PHNG.Fix
|> scenery
|>ReadMe.txt

or into a temporary folder, and manually place MM_Oahu (and its sub dir) into the "FSX/addon scenery" directory.

2. Move all the *.fx files from "MM_OAHUv1effects" folder into your" ...Flight Simulator Xeffects" folder

3. Move all the *.wav files from "MM_OAHUv1sound" folder into your" ...Flight Simulator Xsound" folder

4. Move the MM_OAHU_Screenies folder or delete it after viewing the screenshots so as not to clutter.

5. Start up FSX and when the welcome screen, or initial menu comes on, select settings, then click on Scenery Library, and Add Area. Find the Addon Scenery folder and open it, then find the MM_OAHU folder and click on it. The name MM_OAHU should now appear in the title window, then click OK. Then you will see MM_OAHU at the top of your scenery library list, and click the OK tab at the bottom.

6. That's it! The Oahu scenery is Installed.

B. The "Oahu Sacred Falls Landing" Mission Installation (SP2 Required)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Extract the "MM_OAHU_SacredFalls_Mission.zip" to a temporary folder) In it you would find a folder called "MM_OAHU_SacredFalls_Mission"

2. Copy that folder and place it within this folder of your FSX like this (assuming C: is your FSX installation drive)

C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XMissionsThe Good LifeMM_OAHU_SacredFalls_Mission

Now, we need to copy some sound files from your standard FSX Install over to this new mission Sound folder.

2. Copy FROM: C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XSoundUIMusic (the two files)

FSX02.wav
FSX03.wav

TO: C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XMissionsThe Good LifeSacredFalls_MissionSound

3. Copy FROM: C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XMissionsPilot for HireTokyoExecsound (the three files)

TokyoExec_009.wav
TokyoExec_016.wav

TO: C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XMissionsThe Good LifeSacredFalls_MissionSound

4. Copy 1 file

BeautifulHana_51.wav

TO: C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XMissionsThe Good LifeSacredFalls_MissionSound

5. Copy rewards file from

From: the extracted folder "MM_OAHU_SacredFalls_Mission"

MM_OAHU_SacredFalls_MissionREWARD.RWD

To:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator X ewards

6. Just Double check that you have all the 6 sound files in directory . C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XMissionsThe Good LifeSacredFalls_MissionSound as per step 2-4.

FSX02.wav
FSX03.wav
TokyoExec_001.wav
TokyoExec_009.wav
TokyoExec_016.wav
BeautifulHana_51.wav

That completes the Mission Install.

C. The MM_PHNG upgrade/fix Installation (IF you have installed the MM_PHNGv1 Scenery).

1. Copy from your extracted folder MM_OAHUMM_PHNG Fixscenery the bgl(s) into your addon sceneryMM_PHNGscenery folder

MM_PHNG Deep.bgl

overwrite the old version.

Thats it..Enjoy!

Even though this scenery uses autogens for the most part, it would still take a hit on performance (FPS), so you may want to use the density settings in order to adjust the scenery for the best results on your computer.

IF the Density settings is not sufficiant to adjust, you could simply rename (remove) some of the BGLs in the scenery folder as .tmp and restart FSX.

I have tried my level best to make each BGL as indepdenent as possible. Meaning..by removing one BGL, you should not find any odd looking scenery. If an object is dependent on another object, I have tried to group them all in the same BGL.

Some of the candidate bgls to remove to make the scenery sparce are the Animals and Sound bgls (Look "ani" and "sound" in the bgl description). The BGLs in the scenery folders are fairly descriptive to give you an idea if you can remove them and what objects they contain. So make your own choice if you feel you have to reduce the complexity by removing the bgls.

Credits:

First off, I want to thank Joey Sipos who made me that white dome/ball on my request that I could use in so many different places and conditions like that Radar you would see in many places. He came to the rescue when I needed it the most. I put out a call for help at AVSIM's MSFS Scenery Design Forum thread for that object and he was there to help me out. Good going Joey. You are a trooper.

I then want to thank all my betatesters Rob, Jimmy, Harlank, Glen, Geof, Lance and scott for helping this project with their valuable time and feedback.

I also would like to thank Robin (Avatar toprob at AVSIM) from Godzone Virtual Flight, for 'Real New Zealand' scenery http://www.windowlight.co.nz who has answered many of my questions when I wanted answers on this project.
