WHP/BUR 'Four Stacks' for MegasceneryX Socal (FSX)

Post by Nick Warren »

Hey all,

So the other day I was doing some VFR around the San Fernando Valley and noticed that with the MegasceneryX Socal package the 'Four Stacks' are not present. For VFR and even the always fun "Four Stacks Visual" into BUR, this is an important landmark. I do believe that they are in the default scenery for FSX. Anyway, I tinkered around and managed to put the Four Stacks in MegasceneryX. Download the file below:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23652356/KWHP-Whiteman.BGL

Installation:
1. Go to your folder where MegasceneryX Socal is installed. In my case it is C:\megaSceneryX\Socal\Socal\scenery
2. Backup the original KWHP-Whiteman.BGL file in the folder. (Either copy it to a temp folder, rename it with a .bgx extension, whatever)
3. Place the dowloaded KWHP-Whiteman.BGL file in the MegasceneryX Socal scenery folder and overwrite the original if necessary.
4. Enjoy your new VFR landmark!

I also made an altitude correction to WHP in this file by .99 feet as my aircraft were sinking below the runway. If this causes anyone trouble, I can upload another version without that correction.

This file has ONLY been tested with MegasceneryX Socal. I have no idea if it will work in the default scenery (not sure why you'd want it there), Megascenery Earth Tiles, TileProxy, Vero, on and on and on.

Lastly, I am by no means a scenery designer. I can do little tweaks like this here and there, but that is about the extent of it. I tried by lots of trial and error to get the stacks placed as accurately as possible. If you have any questions, please post them in response here. Enjoy!
