MonacoX version 1.00 Introduction The small, independent principality Monaco was not yet covered in detail for FS2004 and as it such a well known region it was time to consider it. But as it lacks an airport it seemed hard to sell. However, times changed and helicopter and sea planes became far more popular in the last 2 years. So with the market available a small email from Matthew Dalton was very welcome. He was working on a project like that and was wondering if we could publish it.

MonacoX version 1.00 Startup flights & Finding Monaco There are two startup flights provided with this product. The first puts you on Pad B in a small helicopter. The second one will load the default Goose moored at the buoy in front of the museum. We believe this is the first time an add-on adds a new country to FSX! Monaco was not in the Goto Airports list. It is now, you will find the heliport (LNMC) and the buoy LNMCW(ater) as start locations. Note: FSX is not able to use A and B as helipad locations.
MonacoX version 1.00 Area covered The scenery actually covers a bit more then just Monaco as it extends north into France to make the covered area a rectangle.
MonacoX version 1.00 Missions There are two missions include with this product. They put you in the seat of Heli Air Mike Foxtrot Charlie (the resident helicopter company) and your company has just been asked to pick up two people at Nice airport. A route you flew several times a day because some people just do not want to spend a lot of time driving to Monaco (certainly not at rush hours!). Start with the Monaco -> Nice mission.
MonacoX version 1.00 Mesh and Traffic Settings There a setting of FSX that you got to keep in mind when using this scenery. As the mesh (the undulation of the terrain) is very important for this project we advice these settings: You will find that the setting of the Autogen Density slider determines for a large part how your frame rates will be (but also how detailed it looks). It determines how many smaller buildings are shown, most of these buildings are higher on the hills side.
MonacoX version 1.00 Use without flying a helicopter Monaco does not have an airport for fixed wing aircraft but that does not mean you can’t enjoy this scenery without flying a helicopter. Most obviously this scenery is a perfect destination for a sightseeing flight in a small aircraft, but also when you approach the big airport of Nice (LFMN) you will be able to enjoy the scenery. For example on the Visual Approach from the north/east where you will fly right in front of Monaco.
