Roosevelt Lake Designed for Fs2004

This scenery also works very well in Fs2002.

This scenery was designed for the default terrain mesh. However Eddie Denney's Arizona/New Mexico Terrain Mesh scenery (aznmmesh.zip) greatly enhances this scenery as well as all of Arizona and New Mexico. It may be downloaded from SurClaro. I highly recommend it, as it places highway 88 from the dam to Phoenix high upon the side of the mountain as in real life. The default leaves the highway in the valley.

Please hold short at the Grapevine airstrip for the Cessna Citation to take off ahead of you.

This scenery created for FS2004 of Roosevelt lake, Arizona. Includes Roosevelt Dam, Possibly the oldest dam in the U.S.A. It was first built with concrete blocks and, about ten years ago it was refaced and raised to make the lake deeper. Also includes The Grapevine Airstrip 51AZ. Includes Roosevelt Lake Resort, and also the Visitors Center. There is a camp ground on the beach near the north end of the lake.

An interesting note about Roosevelt Lake is that after the dam was raised in height about ten years ago, unfortunately there has never been enough rain to raise the water level to the planned level. As you travel highway 188 north you can view several boat ramps that are high and dry. There has never been any water anyways close to them! Hopefully the rains will come and the lake will be enlarged and become much deeper. Roosevelt Lake is noted for it's large Crappie. And is considered one of the best fishing lakes in the state.

A special thanks to my good Argentina Friend Gerardo Oviedo for Introducing me to to the program, FSdyn & DK Hangar, and helping me to learn these programs; I used in creating the dynamic flights in this scenery. Both programs designed by our Flightsim Friends from Argentina.

I want to give Special thanks to Mr. Ken "Webad" Nelson for helping me through the learning experience of scenery design.
Ken also helped provide the installation instructions in this readme.

Also a Special thanks to my good Canadian friend Mr. Dave Malloch who beta tests my scenery for me. Dave is an experienced scenery designer with scenery designed for the entire Province of Ontatio, Canada.

Also thanks to my Good Friend, Bill Dicks (WillyBee) for all of his help in my scenery and macro designing.

I want to also thank Tom Hiscox for his efforts in improving Airport 2.60, I used the164 build to create this scenery, Thanks Tom.
Also I wish to thank Brian Mc Williams and the entire Flight Sim group for the freeware Scenery Design Program Airport 2.10, and Manfred Moldenhauer for the SCASM scenery compiler for FS to be used with the new 2.60 upgrade

I want to give thanks to the following people who have provided some of the excellent addon macros used in this scenery design. Ray Scott, Jerry Arzdorf, Doc George, Ken Nelson, Tom Fica, Leon Lewis, Jordan Moore, Jim Jackson, Horst Weingaertner, Dia Griffiths, Bill Dick, and Grahm Oxtoby

This is a very dense scenery and can best be viewed with the extremely dense or dense scenery complexity, display setting. If you encounter extremely bad frame rates you may set the scenery complexity display setting to sparse, and view the basic scenery only.


Use Default Navaids.



(INSTALLATION)



This scenery has been zipped together in the correct folders provided, to ensure you the best and easiest installation. PLEASE do not remove any files or folders from the Roosevelt_Lake directory folder. For a PERFECT FULL INSTALLATION of this scenery, PLEASE follow ALL STEPS BELOW.

STEP 1) UN-zip the Rsvlt_Lk.zip file to ANY location on your hard drive, FS2004 will read ALL files from anywhere. It would work best for you if you create a 3rd party Scenery " Holding Folder " directly on your C:\drive or whatever drive letter you use. I created a 3rd party scenery holding folder named FSScenery directly on my C:\drive and I place all these type sceneries there. Doing this gives me a nice short hard drive PATH for the next step and it also increases FS2004 performance because your not filling up the default directory folders.

STEP 2) START the FS2004 program then CLICK Settings and select the SCENERY LIBRARY option. Then in the Scenery Library window, CLICK the ADD AREA button which will bring up the SELECT SCENERY DIRECTORY window (browser). Now in that window, CLICK the button in the upper LOOK IN box to LOCATE and HIGHLIGHT the Roosevelt_Lake/Scenery folder. Make sure you have the correct PATH to the Roosevelt_Lake/Scenery directory, the last word in the path should say Roosevelt_Lake. Because I have my holding folder on my C:\drive, my path is, C:\FSScenery\Roosevelt_Lake . Roosevelt_Lake, should now appear in the lower box called the Scenery Area Title box. Now click OK. and FS2004 should install the scenery.

AT THIS POINT DO NOT GO TO THE SCENERY AREA, INSTEAD SHUT DOWN AND EXIT FS2004! Fs2004 must be restarted in order for the scenery to be installed.


(INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE)


To Locate the scenery while flying, go to the, Go To Airport option in FS2004 and click the search for addon scenery button.
