INSTALLATION FS2002
1. Remove my existing Lighthouses of Tasmania version 1 scenery if you have it installed. For those who have version 2, which had only been uploaded to www.oceaniasim.com - not defunct, the files are exactly the same and you really don't have to any thing but copy them over to FS2004 if you are not using FS2002.
2a. Unzip TASLH_V3.zip to a temporary folder. Be sure to tick "use folder names".
This will create a folder called TASLIGHTHOUSES V3. It will contain the scenery and texture folders. Place this into your FS2002 Addon Scenery folder.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that the Bgl file ShipMacroLib.bgl is installed in
the FS2002 Main Scenery Directory, otherwise part of the scenery macros will not appear.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
I strongly recommend that the "Landclass for Tasmaina - Version 3" file be installed with this scenery for maximum effect. This file can be found at www.oceaniasim.com - you may get floating lighthouses otherwise.
A number of the default FS2002/04 Tasmanian airports have been upgraded by other people - these should be used with this scenery espescially but not limited to Hobart 2002 by By Clive (Ausie) Marriott, Cambridge Airport by Ian Thatcher and Devonport Airport by Ian Thatcher .
The FS2002 scenery blends in with my Lighthouses of Victoria and Bass Strait Oil files available at www.SurClaro Do a search under Leone to view my files. They should work with FS2004.
