June 12, 20205 yr Just wanted to bring Brad Allan's post to the surface in case folks missed it. In my opinion, if you like the Bahamas Scenery Pack, this is a must have addition. You will love what these talented scenery developers have done, and I'm sure will continue to enhance. Greg. [Brad's post below is Quoted from] Misty's Caribbean Air Adventures (MCA) Version 2 Updated Dropbox File Links Updated (6/9/2020) NOTE: Previous Installation: If you've previously installed the Gregory Goodwin Bahamas and Misty's Caribbean Air Adventures collection, the base scenery by Gregory has been updated as well as the Bahamas scenery for Misty's Caribbean Air. You'll need to download at least those two files below to be updated to version 2 for this project. (Step #1 and Step #2) Just download, unzip, then overwrite your previous files with the updated files. You will NOT need to download the custom objects for the Bahamas or the custom objects for Return to Misty Moorings IF you've already installed them inside your simulator. (Step #3 and Step #4) Same goes for the optional files (Step #5 and Step #6) NOTE: New Installation: Follow Required Steps #1-#4 (* See Step #4 installation note below) ====== Installation The files located at the dropbox links below are created for the Misty's Caribbean Air Adventures collection of scenery and enhancements. They are meant to be used with an amazing base scenery of the Bahamas by Gregory Goodwin. Gregory has created a highly accurate representation of this area of the Bahamas with custom waterclass, landclass and vector data. It covers the following island areas of the Bahamas. Andros, Bimini, Nassau, Grand Bahama, The Abacos, The Berry Islands, Eleuthera, Cat Island, The Exumas and Ragged Islands. It's a large area of the Caribbean Sea that focuses on the Northern, Western and some of the Eastern Bahamas islands. He's planning on completing the rest of the Bahamas in a future release that will cover all of the remaining east and southern chains. ====== Step #1. Install the base Bahamas scenery by Gregory Goodwin. You can find his base file named bahamas_scenery_pack_3-1.zip by going to this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjsbz7qodn05bf7/bahamas_scenery_pack_3-1.zip?dl=0 Or by searching on AVSIM's file library: Search using "Gregory Goodwin", "Northern Bahamas" or "bahamas_scenery_pack_3-1.zip" Start with that file, install it in your simulator and activate in your library as normal for any addon scenery. Follow all of his included instructions for proper installation please. ====== To view the enhancements for the Misty's Caribbean Air Adventures, Please install the following required files: Step #2. MCA North Bahamas Scenery files by Brad Allen (Version 2)https://www.dropbox.com/s/vy2ozx50egwqas5/Misty's Caribbean Air Bahamas Scenery v2.zip?dl=0 ====== Step #3. MCA Custom Object Files by Steve Weinkamer. Install the contents of each of the three zipfiles below containing custom Bahamas objects used in this project.

You'll need to download and install four custom object library zipfiles. Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV. Unzip one at a time and carefully follow the instructions for that specific libraries installation. When completed, you must then activate each of the four libraries inside your simulators scenery library. * This step can be skipped if you have already downloaded and installed the four main libraries for Return to Misty Moorings. ====== Step #5. Optional enhancements by Dexter Thomas and Brad Allen. Dex has created AI Floatplane and Fishing Boats Traffic, sounds. Brad created custom scenery for the floatplane bases these AI objects visit. NOTE: You'll need an installation of Tongass Fjords X to see the AI floatplanes and fishing vessels in action. If not, you can still install the scenery inside this zip for the floatplane bases.

There's a way to do this without creating a lot of busy work. Extract all the scenery to a single scenery folder under a main folder called RTMM or whatever. Extract all textures to a textures subfolder and effects to an effects subfolder. You can figure out the add-on.xml file as it will only have entries for each file type.
June 12, 20205 yr Or alternatively, if you like me don’t want to mess with the effects folder added to the add on.xml you could always copy and paste the effects to the effects folder in the P3D root and only add the scenery and texture folder to the new add on.xml.

June 12, 20205 yr That's how I did it. Then I used Lorby's Add-on Organizer to make sure that there were no typos in add-on.xml and also to place the entries with the correct priority in the scenery library.
June 13, 20205 yr Author I feel you. It took me about 30 minutes to sort out all the instructions (each folder seemed to have its own instructions) the first time. Once I got it all organized, it was actually pretty easy. Trust me, it is worth the effort.
