Addon AI moving ships and cars in the Netherlands for the addon scenery NL2000v291.

fitting only in the addon scenery for FS2004: NL2000v29 and v291.

By creating new AFCAD files for invisible traffic points, it is possible to let ships
sail and cars drive in the scenery of the Netherlands .

These are a Wooden Custom Cruiser , a big Cruiseliner , a submarine , MS Endeavour and
a hoovercraft. Also several cars.

EH07 : little cruisers near Huizen to Almere
EH08 : big cruiseliner on the Nw Waterweg from Rotterdam to the Northsea
EH09 : Submarines at Den Helder marine harbour
EH10 : Ms Endeavour (like the Batavia near Lelystad on the IJsselmeer
EH11 : ferry from Harlingen to Terschelling/Vlieland
EH12 : Cruiseliner from Amsterdam by the Noordzeekanaal to the Northsea
EH13 : Little cruisers on Leekstermeer
EH14 : Ferry from Lauwersoog to Schiermonnikoog
EH15 : Little cruisers in the VeerseMeer
EH16 : Ferry from Vlissingen to the Northsea
EH17 : Bus from Leek and Eelde to Groningen station
EH18 : Traffic of cars and busses between Utrecht and Amersfoort
EH19 : Traffic around EHSE, busses and cars

Installation :

There is a choise between only car traffic or only ship traffic or both traffic, or
just one or more locations.

1. Put AI Vessels and/or the AI cars into the folder :
FS2004/aircraft

2. Put the AFCAD files : AF2_EH07.bgl , AF2_EH08.bgl etc
into : FS2004/Addon Scenery/scenery
If you choose only for one or more locations select only the AFCAD file of the
locations you prefer.


3. Put the wanted EH traffic bgl files into : FS2004/scenery/world/scenery
If you want all moving objects, choose : Traffic_trafficEHall.bgl
If you want all moving cars, choose : Traffic_carsEHall.bgl
If you want all mooving ships, choose : Tarffic_shipsEHall.bgl
If you want only one or more location: choose only the locations bgl file you
prefer.

4. Put the contents of the Effects folder into : FS2004/effects

Start the FS2004 and set the AI traffic on a minimum percentage of 3%.
There is also a possibility te increase the traffic by choosing a traffic percentage
of 5 % or 10%

Enjoy the sight of moving ships and cars on various locations.


Development :
The system is developed by Holger Sandmann from the USA and I could make these files and
uses his settings with his permission. I want to thank him for that.
Also thanks to Lynn and Bill Lyons ,Michel Noët who gave permission to use their models.
The cruiseliner and hovercraft are designed by Mitsuya Hamaguchi, but I couldn't reach him.
The bus and jeep were found as freeware on the internet,but I couldn't discover the
designers, so I couldn't give them credit for there designs.


WARNING :
There is also a disadvantage to this system. Making the objects move by AFCADs I had to
make fictive airports with long taxiways where the objects are moving .
But FS2004 recognizes the fictive airports in ATC and startmenu.
This will happen in FSNavigator too. But for FSNavigator there is a solution.
Remove temporary the AF2_EHxx.bgl from the scenery folder. Refresh the database of
FSNavigator and replace the AF2_EHxx.bgl files. Startup FS2004 and it is OK again.


Uninstallation :
remove the Trafficxxx.bgl from FS2004/scenery/world/scenery
remove the AFCAD AF2_EHxx.bgl from FS2004/Addon scenery/scenery
remove the AI cars and ships from FS2004/aircraft
