CASLAX.ZIP and CASSNA.ZIP Documentation
SCENERY FOR LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA
These ZIP files contain spectacular static and dynamic
scenery files created with Microsoft Aircraft & Scenery Designer
and that supplement the rather bare Los Angeles default scenery
in Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0. They focus on the regions
surrounding and between Los Angeles International and John Wayne--
Orange County Airports. They are dense and large, and your ASD
needs to be configured for at least 24K of static and 28K of
dynamic memory. Only ASD was used in creating the scenery files,
so they are easy to edit. No NAVAIDS have been added to the
default scenery, but many airports have added (Long Beach, Los
Alamitos, Fullerton, Tustin and El Toro MCAS, March AFB) and
others are enhanced.
The CASLAXRN (CASLAXRN.SC1, CASLAXRN.DY1, CASLAXRN.DOC) and
CASSNARN files (CASSNARN.SC1, CASSNARN.DY1, CASSNARN.DOC) comple-
ment one another (the .DOC files are identical), and the bound-
aries are set so that you may fly back and forth between them if
automatic scenery loading is enabled. They share some features to
help keep transitions smooth. The LA--Orange County region is
vast, and you have to cover many miles to see everything. Accuracy
has been a high priority, and in general the more distinctive or
complex a feature, the closer it approaches reality. (A compli-
cated building should closely model its original; a plain one may
just stand in for several.) The Los Angeles VFR Terminal Area
Chart is recommended to identify features. Everyone should be
able to recognize Disneyland. The large ship docked at Long Beach
is the Queen Mary, and next to it is the dome housing Howard
Hughes' Spruce Goose. Less well-known are the enormous hangars
north of John Wayne--Orange County Airport at the Tustin Marine
Corps Air Station. They were built during WWII to house blimps
and are the largest wooden structures in the world. Although they
are historic buildings, you may fly through them if you are
careful.
The CASSNARN mode starts you up parked at John Wayne--Orange
County Airport (SNA), one of the busiest and most dangerous
flying enrvironments in the country. Give way to the 767 on your
left before following the Cessna ahead as it takes off and enters
the left-traffic pattern. Beware of renegade fighter pilots. The
CASLAXRN mode starts you up on 24R at Los Angeles International
(LAX)--not normally open to general aviation craft. Today the
runway is all yours, but if you choose any of the others you'll
have to dodge heavy commercial traffic. The skies are less busy
but by no means empty over Long Beach.
I will be grateful to anyone flying through this region who
sends me comments and corrections or enhancements.
