hey guys!

just did a short flight for some screenshots of my beautiful new Courchevel scenery. all credit goes to bj

Where is that scenery?

oh ok, i was just gonna post the link
yeah, is struggled all night to get it all installed properly, since i can't speak a word of french.
oh and thanks  :)

LOL, is the runway surface actually uneven, or is it just to look good?

no it's actually uneven . it is in real life too as far as i know

OH MAN! I HAVE TO GET THAT!

Wonder if it would be possible to import the runway to other airports?

Cheers,

GM

yeah that would be brilliant but i doubt that's possible

anyway, here's a shot of the real thing for comparison (sorry you've probably seen it a million times but i don't care )

Yeah love that place

I don't suppose you'd mind giving a quick description of roughly where the files should go?
My French is as good as my Latin . . . . .

Cheers,
GM

ok gnat hang in there, let me try to remember how i did it. i'll get back to you in a minute

ok, here's how i did it. i'm not sure yet wether i messed up anything with that stuff so please back up your folders !

- get all the texture zips from that french site. in the installation manual it says you need "textures1" and "textures2" but you actually need all the files so get "textures_alps1-4" aswell. the instructions confused me big time so i just chucked them all in the main fs9 texture folder (and it worked).

- now create a new folder (name it "courchevel") in your addon scenery folder and create a subfolder ( name it "scenery") in that "courchevel" folder. put all the .bgl files that came with the Courchevel zip into that folder.

-open your main scenery cfg and add

 
                [Area.***]
               Title=Courchevel
               Local=addon scenery\courchevel/scenery
               Active=TRUE
               Layer = **


(with a number instead of * in order of your sceneries)

i think you only need a good mesh of the area now and that should be it. none of the ones suggested on the french site worked for me so i got another one from avsim and it works like a dream

good luck

Great shots!

still need link tho

Hope your French is good

GM

thanks jeff
yup it's the link gnat gave. i edited my earlier post to explain how i did it since my french isn't really the best either

The only words in French that I'll ever need is 'Pizza' 'Girls' and 'Download'

...for everything else, theres MasterCard and personal translator

right on
