X-Plane 10 KAVX Catalina Island 1.0

KAVX Catalina Island 1.0

Introduction

Catalina Airport is a privately owned airport located six miles (10 km) northwest of the central business district of Avalon, California. Catalina Airport lies in the middle of Catalina Island.

The airport is open to the public and allows general aviation aircraft to land there. The only requirement is that inbound pilots state their intention to land and that they pay a $25 landing fee. The airport is primarily used for general aviation. The airport is also used for airfreight from the mainland. Supplies for the island are delivered via Douglas DC-3 aircraft daily.

Important: Please download only one version!

Complete: Contains the airport as well as orthoimagery for the entire island:

No Orthos: Contains only the airport:

I highly recommend downloading the complete version unless you already have orthoimagery installed for this area.

Installation:

Copy the 'KAVX - Catalina Airport' folder into your 'X-Plane 10/Custom Scenery' folder.

Install MisterX Library version 1.1 if you haven’t already (see link below):

https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=search&fsec=0&fname=misterx_library.zip

Scenery load order:

Scenery load order in X-Plane 10 is defined by the file 'scenery_packs.ini' found in your 'Custom Scenery' folder. Make sure this scenery package is higher up than 'Global Airports', HD Mesh, or any other scenery package for this area.

If you fail to do so, the scenery may not appear correctly.

Requirements:

X-Plane 10.40 is required for this scenery package to run properly. Due to the use of X-Plane 10 specific features, it is not compatible with earlier versions of X-Plane, such as version 9.

I recommend installing HD Mesh V3 tile +30-120 if you want to use the option 'runways follow terrain contours':

Compatibility:

Compatible with HD Mesh V3.

Compatible with Runways follow terrain contours only if HD Mesh V3 +30-120 is installed. If you use this option with the default mesh, you may experience minor visual errors. If you are running other scenery packages for this area, please refer to the 'Scenery load order' section of this manual.
