This scenery replaces the default coastlines for Long Island, New York with high resolution data from www.webgis.com. The default coastline is very low resolution, and is missing many details and small islands. Additionally, the default scenery has no data for the area between Shelter Island and Montauk Point, resulting in a blocky jagged coastline in that area. This scenery also adds all the streams, canals, rivers, ponds, and lakes on Long Island. If it's wet, it's in this scenery. This scenery has been tested with USA Roads, Aerosoft Manhattan, and FSGenesis terrain and landclass.
Installation:
1. Move the "Long Island Coastlines" folder to your addon scenery folder.
2. Move the "Temp Hold for Long Island Coastlines" folder to your "Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\NAME\scenery" directory.
3. Open the "Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\NAME\scenery" folder, and find the file "HP928170.bgl". Move (don't copy!) this file to the "Temp Hold for Long Island Coastlines" folder.
4. Add the "Long Island Coastlines" folder to the Scenery Library in the Settings menu.
5. If you have Flight1 USA Roads or Aerosoft Manhattan installed, make sure the Long Island Coastlines entry is lower in the Scenery Library list than the USA Roads or Aerosoft entries. You can move the Long Island Coastlines entry down by selecting it and clicking the "Move Down" button.
6. If you want to remove the "Long Island Coastlines", delete the entry from Scenery Library, and move the file "HP928170.bgl" from the "Temp Hold for Long Island Coastlines" folder back to the "Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\NAME\scenery" folder.
Compatibility:
I've tested this with USA Roads, Aerosoft Manhattan, FS Genesis terrain mesh, and FS Genesis landclass. Please contact me if you have trouble with this scenery conflicting with any other addons, and I'll try to find a workaround.
If you find something out of the ordinary (Land where it shouldn't be, gaps in coastline, buildings placed in water, etc) please email me at dan@angband.org. Please include as much information as possible, such as:
Lat/Long where the error occurs
Simulator date and time
Any add-on scenery you have installed in the area
Screenshots would be a great help, as well.
Thanks:
Thanks to Chris Wright for his development of Autoasm, which this project would not have been possible without. Also, thanks to Holger Sandman for his tutorial on editing the Default VTP and LWM scenery, and to all the other contributors on the Avsim forums.
