INSTALLATION
***************
IMPORTANT
**You must install Gerrish Gray's trees librairies(file: trees_v3) from SurClaro or avsim online in order to see the trees in the scene
All other textures are included
Some of the boat macros I use need a library.bgl file to be displayed correctly. This file is included (objlib.bgl) and should be put in your FS2002/SCENERY.
Then put the sofitel1.2 folder where you usually place your add on sceneries and activate it through the scenery library.
CREDITS
*********
Many thanks to the following people for providing me the right macros at the right time:
Gerrish Gray for his fabulous trees librairies
Many thanks to Roelof Kruijer and John de Langristin for their boat macros. The sea would look so empty without them and they have been very helpful and patient to me. Making macros of ships that look so real is very difficult and they have both done a fantastic job.
John provided me as well some rock macros and building textures that helped me a lot. Thank you John!
Bill Melichar for his kind help and very wise tips.
I wish to thank particulary for the good advices and help they gave me all along my fellow Corsicans Gérard and Alexandre as well as Rémy.
Alexandre Cadel has done a great job on the city of Ajaccio you must download (ajaccio.zip) from SurClaro and avsim online. This area has been recently enhanced by Rémy's work on Aspretto aeronautic base you will find on his site mentionned below.
If you enjoy flying over Corsica you must visit Gérard's page
