This scenery is another installment in the series of California Missions, and hopefully, all 21 will eventually be done. Having been to all 22, I thought this would make a good flight sim project.
Yes, I know there are only 21 official California missions, but San Luis Rey actually has a "branch" mission, Mission San Antonio de Pala, located about 20 miles inland from San Luis Rey. It is a working mission, and there is some talk of changing it's status to become the 22 mission.
Suggested installation:
Note: You will need Garrish Gray's Tree library. Without this add-on, you will see lots of boxes around the Mission where trees should be. (In fact, you might even get a crash-to-desktop if the library object file is not found - not sure.) This file is available on SurClaro (trees_v3.zip).
Step 1: Using winzip, just extract, using folder names, to the folder where you put
your add-on scenery. Example: c:\FS2004\SCENERY.
NOTE: If you have installed any earlier mission installments, just overwrite any existing files - they have probably been updated.
Step 2: If you do not have the Lago FS Enhancer, skip to step 3, otherwise move:
All files with extension .SC to the FS2004\Lago\Common\Sounds directory
All files with extension .OSC to the FS2004\Lago\Common\Tracks directory
All files with extension .SE2 to the FS2004\Lago\Fse\Data directory
Note: The above Lago files can be deleted if you do not have Lago FS Enhancer.
Step 3: Start FS2004. If you skip the start up menu, you will need to "End Flight" to get to the menu page.
Step 4: Select "Settings" (if not already selected) and then "Scenery Library".
Click the "Add Area" button and Browse to the CaliforniaMissions directory.
The "Scenery Area Title" should already be filled in to CaliforniaMissions.
Click "OK".
Step 5: Exit to the desktop and restart the Flight Simulator.
Finding the Missions.
Each mission has a start location with a Airport ID. These ID's all start with CAM (for CA Missions) and have a number which corresponds to the order of the mission founding. So to find each mission, enter "CAM" into the Airport ID box on the GO TO AIRPORT page. This will bring up the list of missions.
To fly to each mission:
Santa Barbara Mission (CAM11)
Take off from RWY 7 at Santa Barbara Muni (KSBA) and make a slight left turn to 070, and in 4.5 miles you will pass right over the mission.
San Luis Rey Mission (CAM18)
Take off from RYW 6 at Oceanside Muni (KOKB) and make a left turn to 045. Mission is about 2 miles from airport and is visible after taking off.
