I'm sorry, I have no idea! addon scenery is supposed to get put in the addon scenery\scenery but when I do that it doesn't show up on the scenery library>addon scenery. I'm sorry. Next? :)

I think there is supposed to be more files than that.

maybe you have to add it at settings\scenerylibarary click "add" then go to the folder the scenery is in and klick open then it should work.

C70b: As there is only 1 file, the easiest is to place the 'Pirates.bgl' in the \Addon scenery\scenery\ folder. It will be automatically detected.

To see the scenery, fly to, slew to, or use the Map to position your aircraft at the coordinates listed in the readme.

To fly to will be 'finding a needle in a haystack' as there are no navaids within range and it's in the middle of a thousand miles of open ocean. It lies on the GPS-Direct To path from HKMO-->FSPP, heading 094, approx. 430nm east of HKMO.

FuturePilot: No other files needed, uses default static scenery objects. When the .bgl is placed in \Addon scenery\scenery\ it will not have a seperate area entry. Also, the Scenery Library browse windows do not show file names, only folders.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
