This scenery features the 29 most famous bridges of downtown Paris.
It makes the city looking much more realistic !
As usual in this kind of scenery,
I had to make a compromise between high-detailed scenery and speed.
That's why I have choosen to use the FS2002 default river texture,
although it is not a very realistic one,
that makes the scenery much lighter.
I had to forget or remove many details, too, in order to make
the scenery works properly.
Anyway, I have been very carefull to give each bridge
its real general appearance.
That's my first scenery, I just did my best.
A future version will include the three missing bridges
at the extremities of the scenery, better textures,
and the main missing statues.
I hope you will enjoy the scenery !
INSTALLATION :
============
1 ) Open your "Windows Explorer" (is it the right name in english ?),
create a folder called "Paris-Ponts" in :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Scenery
Create two subfolders in this new "Paris-Ponts" folder,
called "scenery" and "texture".
2 ) Unzip the "Scenery.ZIP" folder and move its content (10 .bgl files) to :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Scenery\Paris-Ponts\scenery
Unzip the "Texture.ZIP" folder and move its content (14 texture files) to :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Scenery\Paris-Ponts\texture
3 ) Move the two .WX files and the two .FLT files
(two "Paris-Bercy" and two "Paris-Grenelle") to :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\FLIGHTS\MYFLTS\
(That will allow you to start a selected registered flight right over Paris).
4 ) Find the "Scenery.CFG" file, which is located directly in the main FS2002 directory.
(C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Scenery.cfg)
Open it with a text editor, and paste the following lines at the end
of your list :
[Area.0**]
Title=Bridges of Paris
Local=SCENERY\Paris-Ponts\Scenery
Active=TRUE
Layer=**
Remote=
Required=FALSE
IMPORTANT : Replace "**" with the appropriate layer number.
If the previous scenery.cfg file entry has got layer 80,
Then Paris-Ponts requires number 81.
Please make sure that the name given to the main Paris-Ponts folder
in the line "Local=SCENERY\Paris-Ponts\Scenery" is exactly the same
as the one given to the main folder you unziped in :
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Scenery\" (step number 1)
if ever you decide to change it.
Installation is now completed, have a nice flight !
(You may begin a flight above Paris by choosing :
"Select a flight", and "My flights".
You will find there two registered flights beginning over Paris)
