gsmacroA: A series of 9 macros of German houses in stone and timber construction in different colours
with various small stores on the ground floor. Some alo include trees. Fachw9 is a farmhouse with
several buildings, a wall & trees. All macros have day and night textures. This group of houses is ment
mainly for the SW area of Germany. Baden-Wuerttemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz & Saarland.
Macros created with EOD by Martin Brueckner or NOVA by Rafael Sanchez for
Airport for Windows V.2.6.etc. by Pascal Mezial, Tom Hiscox & Brian McWilliams,
and FSSC [Flight Simulator Scenery Creator] by Derek Leung.
I have painted most of the textures especially for these macros. There are exceptions however.
The tree textures are the work of Gerrish Gray [Gerrish's Trees Library for 2000/2, Release 3]
and some Nova textures as well. Many thanks, Gerry and Rafael!.
The group "gsmacroA" is part of a larger series containing, at the present, two country churches, several single-
as well as rows of typical apartment buildings. Transport ships as seen on the river Rhein and a large variety
of containers for harbour areas, Also a factory and other items. It is just a matter of organizing the parts for uploading. This is my first try, and I have to see how it works out.
INSTALLATION: Save the ZIP. into any folder eg. "Unzipped". Unzip and copy the "api" folders into the Airport
or FSSC api folder, "Resource" (small pix of macro) into Resource (Bitmap?) folder of Airport or FSSC.
"Texture" into the main Texture folder of FS 2000 or 2002 [or both]. If you have your own scenery you may want
to place the textures there.
How I use the macros: Using FS 2002, I bought fsscene-europe from Ruud Faber to get a "European"-looking landscape.
Than I downloaded Gerrish Gray's Autogene European bldgs.and placed these. As a next step I used the MS Annotator-FS2002 Software development Kid -Autogen- and changed several thousand trees and buildings so that they follow the roads, rivers and the scenery in general. (All together 11 Landclass Numbers, each with 7 sub sections). Then I downloaded and used Mesh for Germany & Luxemburg for FS2002, by Josiah Haut.
Often I place my buildings just following the reworked FS scenery roads and rivers etc.. In the fantasy world of MS Flight Simulator it looks much more realistic, especially when one doesn't live in Europe. The jpeg pictures might convey the idea.
P.S.: The 11 "improved" Landclass files would be available for free, however they also include the textures from
Ruud Faber, which are not. So,I don't know what I can do there.
These macro files are FREEWARE but remain my entire and exclusive property.
They can be copied and distributed under the express condition that NO MONEY will be made, directly or indirectly, with them. No commercial distribution of these files, on any CD-Rom, is allowed without my express preliminary and written authorization.
The macros worked on my computer, but I can not take any responsibilities for problems on any other Flight Simulator.
I hope the macros will bring you some pleasure and I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
