June 18, 200718 yr Hi Folks, This scenery addon really brings the Key West area of Florida and Ft. Jefferson to life. Especially like Blue Dolphin Cove (between Key West and Ft Jeff) and islands nearby. If you want to see just how well this addon works, view the Key West dock area (west of airport at tip of land) in dafault scenery, then with the addon scenery! Many thanks to Chris Carel for this most excellent scenery. I
June 19, 200718 yr Author I agree with you. The scenery is GREAT. I had problems with the installer and once that was ironed out it works wonderful. My only wish was that there should have been some way to get a map of the locations or some way to go to the scenery directly. Regards, Bob.
June 19, 200718 yr Good point Bob. I also was a bit confused about locations. But, I also found that not knowing where they were caused me to to on the internet for Ft. Jefferson to find lat/lon which is how I located it in FSX. In a way, I found it to be a good exercise causing me to check various sources. Major Bonus with the scenery. If you have Instant Scenery installed, you are in for a treat. I opened Instant Scenery to add some items and guess what? I noticed that I now had access to a large amount of the excellent scenery objects used in the Caribbean scenery addon. That includes Ft. Jefferson - yes all of Ft. Jeff, and much more. Have fun......
June 19, 200718 yr Author Hi Howard. I too cheated. I used NewBGLAnalyze to read one of the bgl's and got the lat/lon that way. I'll have to look into Instant Scenery. Where can we get it? Regards, Bob.
June 20, 200718 yr Hi Bob, Instant Scenery is sold by Flight1 and it's fantastic for adding numerious objects to scenery. Well worth it. You can turn boring default scenery and airports into extremely interesting areas.have fun...
July 1, 200718 yr I also have a problem with the installer - no Fort to activate, and a scenery/texture folder in the main folder, I'm unclear what to do to sort - can you advise what you did, please?Cheers. Paul Skol
July 2, 200718 yr I opened the installer, and had absolutely no idea where to send all the files. I emailed Chris to get a protocol, but I haven't heard back.Can someone please suggest where to direct the installer?Thanks.Mac
July 2, 200718 yr I pointed it at my main FSX folder, and it unzipped everything into my addon scenery folder, and the tree structure looks fine. And it works, too - Key West is fun - but Ft. Jeff is missing. Just wasn't there to activate in the scenery library. Paul Skol
July 6, 200718 yr Many thanks! That download worked fine.This is really a BUMP, so other people can try it. Nowt to lose, so go grab it now, I suggest. Paul Skol
