Proper installation of HMS Ark Royal Scenery from SkySim?

[Brian Franklin]

If you have installed 3wire, then in your Program files\3wire\config folder you will have a zonedef.xml file.

If the Chanel Ark Royal is not already installed add this section to the end of it

<Zone>
<Name value="Ark Royal - Channel"/>
<FrontRightLat value="49.9331123883917"/>
<FrontRightLon value="-3.38443781212234"/>
<FrontLeftLat value="49.9333095668524"/>
<FrontLeftLon value="-3.38453657963939"/>
<BackLeftLat value="49.9333994370047"/>
<BackLeftLon value="-3.38410501408873"/>
<BackRightLat value="49.9331810542469"/>
<BackRightLon value="-3.38399562511725"/>
<RwyHdg value="078"/>
</Zone>

Make sure that the final </ZoneDef> comes after this too

Yeah, I almost lost the rag with landing - countless attempts before I hit the spot

A LOT harder to put it down that precisely than you think.

Maybe I'll just stick to STVOL xwink

Dave, presently at work but many thanks for the advice, will read it more thoroughly towards the week-end.

Brian, how do you edit the zonedef.xml file as I tried and could not enter any data!! Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nigel,

As per.. you should be able to open it with notepad. Right-click and select 'open with' ;-)

Ah, thanks Dave. As you get older the brain somehow does not perform as well.

At least ther is one thing abotyor work Dave, you can at least stop and have a drink.

Brian, thanks for posting up the 3wire for Channel Ark, I've been in and out for most of the day.

[Nigel H-J]

Many many thanks Brian (and Dave for telling me how to edit the zonedef) it works a treat!! :dance:

On my first attempt I missed the wire...went around but the second time came down too hard and put the gear through the wings!! :brick:

Took off again and it was third time lucky.....hit the wires just at the right point and came to a halt.....Brilliant!!

Brian, if I may be so bold as to ask if you get the time, would it be possible for you to edit the other values for the Ark? Would be extremely grateful if you are able.

To Seaking and everyone else involved in the Ark, very many thanks for such a brilliant carrier, it has brought a new dimension to flight simulation.......Gawd knows how they do it for real.

Regards NIgel.

Excellent Nigel.. well done mate ;-)
