KBOS in FSX : a how to

n797mx · Post by **n797mx** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:18 pm

This is a "how to" tutorial on how to install flytampas KBOS scenery into FSX. NOT AN OFFICIAL SOLUTION!!! unless they want it to be.

Note some things won't work that were supported by AES.
Also a severe performance drop will happen

1) Download BOTH Boston 2.0 and 2.1

2) Install them into:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\boston-logan2

3) Since the installer was made for Fs2004 you need to manually update the Scenery database.
Do this by clicking on the "settings" menu option then "scenery library" tab on the side.

4)Then click add area:

Find the installed area and double click on it.

5) download and install the file included on the next post. Put it into the "scenery" folder in the install location

6)restart FSX and go fly!

yes and no. I've had problems with LOWW floating in the air. In theory I guess with the proper afcad you can make the ones at sea level work.

hey! Thanks alot for this!
I live in Tampa and I have been trying to get the TPA scenery to work in FSX for ages. It seems to only be the tarmac.

TPA is right near sea level so do you think you could see if you could get TPA to work?

WOW this is really quite something, if you could get the rest of fly tampas airports to work in fsx, that would be amazing!!! The only thing I wish is for the airport to have the fsx stock jetways which move.

I still can't get it to work, the airport shows up alright, I get a frame rate of about 6FPS (usually get 11-30FPS) and it doesn't appear. I was able to see that it said the plane was supposed to be at 29ft while my aircraft was on the ground at about 190ft.

I am running SP2 and Acceleration. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

Yeah it's probably that it wasn't designed for FSX. LOL!!

Skydvd fan i know that, but this tutorial says that it is supposed to work if you follow the steps and the AI traffic will operate!

Is your one working?

It can't ever work properly. Even if you get past the clipping ground, there will always be serious night lighting issues, transparency issues & performance issues on FSX SP2. Probably much more I forget too.

Theres a new version coming soon.

It doesn't run ok here very well either. I get <5 FPS it was >20fps before installing your afcad.

Wait for flytampas new version. This patch doesn't work.
