Version: 1.00
This project is a port of my FSX release of the the new airport (FHSH) on St. Helena Island.
This scenery provides more accurate coastlines and roads, as well as corrected landclass based on the latest available satellite imagery.
Flight plans are provided for the proposed commercial service to St. Helena, and
some additional GA and military flights to the island are added as well.
The FS2004 St. Helena (FHSH) airport was created by aligning master plans for the airport with current satellite data and by studying many of the pictures that have been posted as the airport has taken shape. The official opening of the real airport on May 21, 2016, has been pushed back for more field tests due to challenging crosswinds. Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor 9 v1.67.5684 and SBuilder. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FS9 scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
1) Go to "Flight Simulator
9\Scenery\Ocen\scenery" and turn off:
HP946370.bgl
HL946370.bgl
RD946370.bgl
ST946370.bgl
by adding the ".OFF" extension after those 4 files.
2) Acquire the South Atlantic mesh, and place this scenery in your "Flight Simulator
9\Scenery\World\Scenery" folder. This will allow the airport to display
more realistically.

INSTALLATION
1) Extract the "FS9_St_Helena_Island.zip" file. Place the "FS9_St_Helena_Island" folder in your "Addon Scenery" folder. Start FS9 and add and activate the new folder through the "Settings - Scenery Library - Add Area..." menus.
2) Make sure to disable any other sceneries that may contain FHSH to avoid conflicts. Make sure there are no "****_ALT.bgl" files in your "Scenery\World\Scenery" folder that contain those airports as well.
3) Flight plans can be found in the "FS9_St_Helena_Island\AI Flight Plans" folder in TTools/AIFP format. The large gate size in the AFACD is required for these models to appear and should not be modified. Aircraft for these plans are listed below:
