FINDING THE AIRPORT IN FS
You can find the airport in FS many ways, you can search in the name (Kilimanjaro Intl), the ICAO code (HTKJ)
or city (Kilimanjaro). You can then select the active runway or any of the parking locations.
COVERAGE
This scenery covers the complete airport area and the immediate surroundings. It also covers the nearby
mountains Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro mountain (and the area between the mountains and the airport). To
complete this coverage we had assistance from PILOT’S, who supplied us with some sections of FSGlobal, our
preferred global mesh product. Find more about that here. Highly recommended.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SCENERY
As far as we have tested this product is compatible with all existing scenery covering the same area assuming
you follow information given here. Aerosoft however can only guarantee compatibility with a standard FSX.
Discuss this on the forum with us if you have questions.
COMPATIBILITY WITH DX10 PREVIEW MODE
The scenery is compatible with the FSX DX10 Preview Mode but there can be slight artefacts. When used with
the well known DX10 Steve tweaks it all looks a lot better.
SEASONS, TREES, PLANTS AND GRASS
The scenery provides coverage for all seasons but blending with the background in default FSX was complex (it
looks better when other add-ons are installed) and not perfect. You will find that summer is the best
compromise. The seasons are defined like this: Jan-Feb=Summer, March-Oct=Fall+Winter, Nov-Dec=Spring.
Do note that the airport terrain is fenced off and therefore protected from the grazing of lifestock and wild
amininals. In some season this is very obvious as the airport terrain is green while the surrounding is already
yellow! This is not a bug. Speaking about bugs, the tree sticking out of the terminal is not a bug!
CHARTS
The attached charts look a bit amateuristic, but these are taken directly from the Tanzanian Aviation
Authorities site. We think they are useful nevertheless!
