This -freeware- addon scenery of Gouda contains twelve BGL files:
- gouda20.bgl (85 kB), containing the overall outline of the city of Gouda, Reeuwijkse Plassen and the village of Reeuwijk-brug and recreation-area 't Weegje, enhanced with some standard objects like a few freighters, harbourcranes, bridges and some trees in the park 'groene eiland'.
I did not like the standard buildings of Scenery Designer for Windows (by Aerosoft), the program used to make the Gouda20.bgl file. Instead I made some of my own, using VOD 2.7, to cheer-up the part of Gouda where I live. Depending on wether you like these rather detailed scenery objects (although they are no real threat to your framerates) or not, you can leave them out. So the following bgl-files are optional:
- nie8-10.bgl (14 kB), my house and that of my direct neigbours
- voortuin.bgl (1 kB), frontyard with some trees
- auto.bgl (2 kB), car in my frontyard (standardobject from existing api-file)
- nie15-33.bgl (12 kB), neighbours across the street
- rodenb1.bgl (14 kB), neighbours at the back
- vliet1.bgl (15 kB), neighbours to the left
- rui62-80.bgl (11 kB), neighbours to the right
- flatrui1.bgl (4 kB), appartmentbuilding nearby
- shell.bgl (5 kB), petrolstation nearby (standardoblect from existing api-file)
- spoorbrg.bgl (16 kB), raiwaybridge over the Gouwe-canal
- turbine.bgl (6 kB), powerplant windmill near Bodegraven (credits: Joop Deijns)
Texture files
As texture files I used standard fs98 textures, some of the VOD2.7 textures and some textures of other freeware scenery available on the web. I included these files in a subdirectory 'texture'. If you have those allready in your main texture directory you can delete the ones coming with this scenerypackage (credits go to Jeroen and Mark Arends, Robin van Dijk, Rafael Sanchez, Microsoft and others whose names I don't know).
Installation
Unzip into your addon scenerymap. Winzip creates a subdirectory 'scenery', which contains the mentioned bgl-files and a subdirectory 'texture'.
After activating this (local) scenery in scenery library of fs98, you 'll find a reference to 'groene eiland' (world, go to, aiports..., scenery from 6.0 and before, select 'gouda' in the listing)
Compatibility and framerates
the scenery fits seamless into the standard fs98 scenery, no conflicts to other scenery known to me and no overlap with Rotterdam scenery (Rot98-v20) or Zoetermeer (ztmeerv2), availabel on the web
Acceptable framerates (ca. 10 fps) with my system (P 233 with MMX and voodoo3 2000 (PCI) 3D accelerator)
liability not accepted
