Flying off from Alpes D'Hues









Getting home again (and landed)

And here are some French "airports" with slooped runways.

Megeve


Meribel


Alpes D'Hues


Courchevel
This field has no runway, so its free of charge, but i think
the fellow who should clean one, is on strike  8-)

Hi bass...
Nice set and I do like to see aircraft like biplanes and triplanes anytime...

Lots of Flying Farmers Airfields have sloped runways around here.

Very nice shots !
For Courchevel, if I remember correctly the author has made a different ICAO code. Take a look on the map, Courchevel from VF-AIR should be just a few yards away from your current location, which is still on the default (now invisible) Courchevel airport.

Hi there Trucker.
I can imagine the hard workit is, to keep flight ways clean out in the "bush"! Dont make too many holes on your "golf courses"
A very good day to you too.

Hi Daube.
Well, i'll start the engine and have a look around.
Thank you. 

I found the Courchevel. It was renamed to CourcevelX.
Some bugs tho...

a strange line and black behind persons?

Anyway i like it. Took a flight in Cessna



Some hard work to get up the loop


And again a little bug. The person to the right is a moving part, the person to the left is not.

Yes, that's the one

These bugs are suprising. Did you follow the installation instructions ? If I remember correctly, you have to declare the sceneries in a certain order...

I'm almost sure i did it correctly
Copied folder altiports_alpesxv2 into addon scenery, then declared sceneries inside that folder:
alti0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, one at the time

The FSX terrain patch:
lclookup.bgl went into base scenery and texture into world texture.

The 'bugs' are old 2-D scenery objects who's transparency (the black) is no longer supported in FSX. Depending on the model, it can be seen as the black background or as the 'see thru' transparency issue.

As I recall, the support for these was 'broken' with FSX-SP2. It's possible the author created the scenery in FSX RTM or SP1 and didn't the 'bugs'.

The animated people are  FSX default scenery objects, so render properly.

Don't know about the black line, didn't see that when I installed the scenery.

Dave

Thanks Dave.
I can live with the black, but its fun to see the moving persons, waving, talking phones (with french/alps hand movements) and smoke from houses

That black line only shows in certain looks, dont know what it is, maybe some mesh/ground tex related to my grafic hw!?

I've gone a bit further.
I mailed the author this pic asking if there is a fix.



I will report back if i get any answer.

Thanks to the author Nemos Guy
AND Daube for helping me with the French and the right link, i now got it right

In the beginning i installed the scenery from AltiportsAlpesxv2.zip.
It should have been AltiportsAlpesX2.zip for fsx sp2.
