The installation of any of these sceneries follows the normal Flight Simulator rules. Below we present one of the several ways that it is possible to install sceneries.

Under the FS installation directory create one subdirectory with any name of your choice; next, below this new subdirectory create two others which names must be TEXTURE and SCENERY.

All texture files must be decompressed into the TEXTURE subdirectory. The navaids file, NAVSBR04.BGL, must be placed into the SCENERY subdirectory after decompressed. Also, all other BGL files which contains the scenery of the States must be put into this subdirectory.

See the following example: 


 C:\MSFSIM
    |------BRASIL
    |      |----- TEXTURE
    |      |         Texture files decompressed 
    |      |----- SCENERY
    |      |         Navaids file decompressed
    |      |         RS State file decompressed 
    |      |         SC State file decompressed 
    |      |         PR State file decompressed 
    |      |         etc.

Specificaly for the FS-2000 Rio de Janeiro scenery, it will be necessary to include two "flattening switches" in the scenery.cfg file, according to the following example: 

[Area.073]
Title=Brasil
Local=C:\MSFSIM\BRASIL\SCENERY
Active=TRUE
Layer=73
Flatten.0=9.84,S22 55.26,W43 20.06,S22 56.08,W43 7.52,S22 59.5,W43 11.06,S23 1.09,W43 18.91
Flatten.1=9.84,S22 57.60,W43 30.07,S23 01.90,W43 30.07,S23 01.90,W43 17.41,S22 57.60,W43 17.41

Localize the correspondent [Area.XXX] from your scenery and include the two last lines of the above example.

Now, it is necessary to deactivate the original FS2000 files that contain the wrong shore line definitions for South America. See here the complete list of the discardable files.

From now on, every time you want to fly over these sceneries, just go to "(World, Go to) Airports", choose the State and the desired airport. FS-98 and FS-2K users can now use the Airport/Facility Directory menu.

You will also find here some sceneries from other authors which enrich in details some few cities. In order to avoid conflicts and superpositions we always provide exclusion files for each of them. In case you decide to use these files, load them to a new directory and put it one layer up. For example, put our directory in layer 00002 and the other auhors' directory in layer 00001.
