SEATAC AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS FOR MICROSOFT FSXSEAFSX.ZIP
12/19/08
DESCRIPTION:
This is an improvement to the default Seattle-Tacoma (SeaTac)
airport that includes the recently commissioned 3rd runway. The
artificial plateau that the airport is built on has been expanded,
the 3rd runway added, several objects added, relocated or removed
and appropriate ground textures and landclass for the airport and
immediate area added. There are a few requirements and
recommendations for the best display of this scenery (See Notes
below).
FSX with SP1Mesh Resolution slider setting: 38m (Important)Mesh
Complexity slider: 70 (recommended)Scenery complexity: Extremely
dense (to see all airport structures)Autogen density: Dense
(recommended)Road Vehicles: 20 (Looks typical)

This scenery is freeware and may be freely circulated except for
profit.
INSTALLATION:
1) Unzip all the files from SEAFSX.ZIP into a temporary
directory. Be sure to allow extraction of pathnames (directories).
You will see that a directory SEAFSX has been created in the
temporary directory with two subdirectories SCENERY and
TEXTURE.
2) Open Windows Explorer and drag the SEAFSX directory into your
FSX\ADDON SCENERY directory.
3) Start FSX and from the World, Scenery Library screen select
Add Area and add the SEAFSX scenery.
NOTES:
The mesh slider must be set to 38m for this scenery to look
right. This is necessary because of the complexity of terrain
adjustments required around the borders of the artificial plateau
that SeaTac is built on. Higher mesh settings will cause the banks
to be too steep and misplaced around the airport periphery; lower
will flatten the banks.
I recommend using extremely dense for scenery complexity since
lower settings cause the removal of several airport structures
especially in the air cargo area to the North that I consider
necessary for decent realism.
I designed this scenery with no enhancements to FSX SP1 except
for Genesis Mesh and Landclass. It will display correctly with or
without the Genesis software.
