File Category: DSF Scenery Packages

X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10

I noticed that I did not yet upload this scenery here (only at the "other" site). So, here it is. No changes, if you already have the previously released EDCX 1.2.


1. INTRODUCTION

This is my first scenery. It's a loose representation of the small glider and GA airfield Purkshof
some kilometers east of Rostock, Germany, near the Baltic Sea. Purkshof is the home of Fliegerclub
Rostock e.V. (Flying Club Rostock).

The position and size of runways and taxiways is more realistic than X-Plane's default data. (But
please see the "known issues" section in this readme). The position and type of buildings is mostly
plausible, but not realistic.

Only X-Plane 10.20 standard objects, OpenSceneryX and RUScenery are used (plus 2 glider objects, see
credits below).


2. REQUIREMENTS

Besides X-Plane 10.20, you'll need the following libraries:

- OpenSceneryX
- RUScenery

Please make sure that you have installed the most recent versions (as of April 2013).


3. INSTALLATION

Put the folder "EDCX Purkshof" into your Custom Scenery folder.

For the best experience, I strongly suggest to also download photo scenery for this region, as the
airport has been created with photo scenery installed. You can get photo scenery for Rostock and
Purkshof at

http://zonephoto.x-plane.fr/dl.php?f=ZP10/zPhotoXP_%2B54%2B012_16_Rostock_XP10_2012-09.7z

I also suggest to install FlyJSim's "Enhanced Runways HD" 1.20, which you can get at

The grass strips look much better with this package installed.


4. KNOWN ISSUES

None.
