ARNHEM 2000 SCENERY VERSION 3
Add-on for NL-2000 Version 2.1 running in Flight Simulator 2002
Dedicated to my father Kees Tappe and his sister Corrie Tappe, who died
September 23, 2002. Two real Arnhemmers. And to my mother Janny Tappe-Bovenkamp
and my sister Janny Tappe, who took care of my father restlessly and did so for
a long time.
You need Microsoft Flight Simulator Version 2002 and NL-2000 version 2.1
(including update!) scenery installed on your computer in order to use this
scenery properly.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
When NL-2000 Version 2.1 runs on your computer Arnhem 2000 Version 3 should.
There will be a frame rate penalty of course, but it remains very well flyable
even on my PIII 933 MHz CPU!
HALF AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION OF ARNHEM2000 VERSION 3:
Arnhem2000 Version 3 is an entirely new scenery package, which requires removal
of the previous version.
Arnhem2000 Version 2 is COMPATIBLE with both FS2000 or/and FS2002, as long as
you have NL2000V2+Upd installed.
INSTALLATION:
1. REMOVE YOUR OLD ARNHEM2000 SCENERY, IF INSTALLED.
2. UNZIP ARNHEMV3.ZIP INTO A TEMPORARY DIRECTORY
3. GO TO THAT TEMPORARY FOLDER AND RUN ARNHEM2KV3.EXE.
By default this program will install the scenery into your FS2002\Addon Scenery
directory under the folder name Arnhem2000V3, unless you change the target
directory. It will also copy necessary files to your FS\scenery, FS\effects and
FS\Texture folders. When asked to overwrite existing files click ok. These are
the ASD2.1, VOD3.0, NOVA and Tree texture and library files, that need to be in
these FS subfolders.
4. YOU HAVE TO ADD AND ACTIVATE THE SCENERY YOURSELF IN THE SCENERY LIBRARY OF FS2002!
(Don't forget to REMOVE the old Arnhem scenery from the scenery library,
if installed.) PLACE THE SCENERIES ABOVE NL2000V2.1! Make sure "scenery caching" is off!
VISIBILITY SETTINGS/IMPROVING FRAME RATE:
Macros of which the scenery density was changeable were all set to minimally
"DENSE".
In all scenery files the following rules apply:
"VERY SPARSE" adds most structures.
"SPARSE" starts adding country polygons, roads, rivers, hills, lakes, rivers and
some trees.
"NORMAL" finishes adding all city polygons such as parks, parking squares, etc.
In short it will show you all, but most macros.
"DENSE" scenery setting will add more macros and more trees.
"VERY DENSE" finishes adding everything, in short will show you all.
All static scenery and macros at Deelen AB and Terlet is visible only at "VERY
DENSE".
General considerations for improving frame rates:
When flying over Holland turn default FS2002 Northwestern Europe in the
Scenery Library off, as NL2000 covers it pixel by pixel!
Set visibility under Weather to 10-20 miles, which is a good day in humid
Holland!
Set the target frame rate to max 24, when you go to the movies thats what
you look at!
Before you start decreasing scenery densities or texture qualities, turn off
ground scenery and aircraft shadows and other special effects! To avoid
shimmering effects you ware sun glasses in reality, why try to blind yourself
sitting in front of the PC!
When you want to do some "sight seeing" over Arnhem try to avoid having EHDL
AB in your sight of vision.
CREDITS:
I hope that in my credits I acknowledge everybody that deserves credit. I know
now the time and effort that is involved in creating scenery and appreciate the
work of so many whose works I downloaded over time so I dedicate this to you all
out there. Hope that you'll enjoy it, I enjoy myself making it. And please feel
free to give me constructive criticism. I'm still learning.
