All credit goes to Ben (Grizzlym) (thanks him at this post : http://www.francesim.info/forumFS/defau ... sts&t=9595)

In the directory
X:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\StMartin-StBarth\scenery

Keep only these files for TFFG airport :
AF2_TFFG.bgl
apt_gc.bgl
flt_TFFG.bgl
fvfr_fstrees.bgl
lib_stmstb.bgl
obj_TFFG.bgl

To keep AI traffic from Francevfr, keep these files :
trf_antilles.bgl
trf_antilles_ga.bgl

It's not mandatory to keep the previous two files, but there are also on Guadeloupe and Martinique. Keep at least the "trf_antilles_ga.bgl" to populate Grand-Case.

If you own the FranceVFR mesh, you have to remove from the Mesh FranceVFR (they get in conflict on the hill of St-Barth) :
msh_MF_smb_i_l9.bgl
msh_MF_smb_i_l10.bgl

You can also desactivate the FranceVFR geomodif from NAME/Scenery :
AP931250_FVFR_RP.bgl
FL931250_FVFR_EX.bgl
HP931250_FVFR_EX.bgl
And keep those from Flytampa.

A quite literal translation:
In the folder X:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight
Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\StMartin-StBarth\scenery

Only keep the following files for the Grand Case:
-AF2_TFFG.bgl
-apt_gc.bgl
-flt_TFFG.bglfvfr_fstrees.bgl
-lib_stmstb.bgl
-obj_TFFG.bgl

For AI traffic Francevfr:
-trf_antilles.bgl
-trf_antilles_ga.bgl

It is not essential to keep these two files, but they influence the traffic of the Guadeloupe and Martinique. At least keep "trf_antilles_ga.bgl" to populate Grand Case.

If you have the mesh of Francevfr, this will screw up St Barth. From the Scenery folder of Mesh Francevfr France, backup/remove the files
-msh_MF_smb_i_l9.bgl
-msh_MF_smb_i_l10.bgl

I also deactivated the géomodifs Francevfr in the folder
NAME/Scenery, that is to say:
-AP931250_FVFR_RP.bgl
-FL931250_FVFR_EX.bgl
-HP931250_FVFR_EX.bgl
And I left those modified by Flytampa.

Good flights

Ben



I haven't tried it so I don't know the results. I don't get the part about the FranceVFR France mesh. Does the 38m mesh of FranceVFR also include the French West Indies? Or did he mean something else?

Let us know,
Rob


UPDATE
I can confirm that both msh_MF_smb_i_l9.bgl and msh_MF_smb_i_l10.bgl are both files from the FranceVFR product "Mesh France 38m Relief de la France entière en 38 mètres (LOD10)" which included mesh of the d’Outre Mer Départements (so French West Indies)

For those installing AFTER FlyTampa's St. Maarten

What I did is fooling the installer in thinking it's installing into FS9. How?
Quite simple:
1. rename your Flight Simulator 9 folder into something else and create a new folder called..you guessed it: Flight Simulator 9
2. copy/paste FS9.exe, FS2000.exe, Fs2002.exe into your newly created folder.
3. Install StMartinStBarth. It's installed into your fake FS9 folder.
(NB you'll get an error message because the installer tries to change the
-AP931250_FVFR_RP.bgl
-FL931250_FVFR_EX.bgl
-HP931250_FVFR_EX.bgl in the NAME/Scenery folder.
However that's what we want because there's no NAME/Scenery folder in your fake FS folder :wink: )

4. Execute the steps from the post above. Except that you don't have to worry about the geomodifs (see NB above) and unless you have the FranceVFR 38m Terrian/Mesh installed you don't have to worry about
-msh_MF_smb_i_l9.bgl
-msh_MF_smb_i_l10.bgl
5. Copy/Paste the whole bunch installed by the FranceVFR installer into your original FS folder (except the NAME/Scenery folder, because of the modified bgl's)
6.Remove your now empty fake FS folder and rename your original FS folder back to Flight Simulator 9.
7. Start FS and add to StMartinStBarth to your scenery library. Above the flyTampa Maarten entry (higher priority)
8. Stop and restart FS to make FS rebuild the scenery library.
9. Go to select flight FranceVFR/Approach Grand Case and
10 Enjoy your flight :D

All the best!
Rob

Maybe someone can update the sticky post concerning other addon compatibility by linking to this post ?
