The present Version 1.0 for FS-2000 was based on our last FS-98 Version 4.0, with some improved aerodromes and regions, taking advantage of new programs and techniques.
It still exist some difficulties to perform the conversion of old sceneries due to the unknowlege of the particularities of some new commands included in the new version and exclusion of some others.
As we are already releasing the reshape of shore lines, it is necessary to deactivate some original files that contains the wrong data due to its large imprecision and also because they are not affected by the exclusion files included inside our packages. In addition to that this deactivation will increase the frame rate. To deactivate the files it is advisable only to change the extension from bgl to bgo, for instance, in the following files:
