1. Microsoft FSX
2. Land’s End SeaPlanes East Coast Tours & Cargo
3. Amphibian Aircraft
SPECIAL NOTE:
Special Note on Manual Installation: My previous releases have resulted in a number of e-mail concerning problems after manual installation. All but one of these problems were the result of copying the files to the wrong location! If you are going to manually install the files…..
1. Unzip the downloaded zip file LESPNP.zip
2. You will find:
A. Self Installer.
B. HTML Read-Me Folder.
3. Run the “Self Installer and when it says “Browse to your main FSX Installation” Don’t. Browse to a temporary folder.
4. Once installed you find the folder, “Addon Scenery”
5. Copy the Addon Scenery Folder to you Main FSX installation.
-----Now Go to Installation Instructions----
Installation:
STEP 1 - From the main FSX screen Click on Settings as pictured below
STEP 2 - Click on Scenery Library.
STEP 3 - Add the two folders in addon Scenery. Add LESP_Object_Library then LESP North.
Settings: The scenery was designed with default settings for scenery, with the exception of Scenery Complexity…which I have set as high as possible….
The setting which has the largest effect upon display is Mesh Complexity…to high the mountains may cover part of the seaplane dock…to low….and they may not connect with the land…
Here’s the settings I use…
That’s it…….Go Fly!
