EHM-2097 Andrei:
Thanks for sharing Peter.
In the meantime, all participants please check the original post, I updated it with a piece of REQUIRED custom scenery and the matching installation instructions.

EHM-2758 Peter:
Hi Andrei,
Thanks for the update, but I have a few remarks, if you don't mind:
- I suppose the bgl-file for FS9 is also the one to use for FSX.
- If so, when installing FSX only recognizes a new Area if the bgl-file is placed in a map with the name: 'Scenery' (f.i. in a map called \Microsoft FlightsimulatorX\Addon Scenery\RefuelStation\Scenery).
- FSX doesn't contain the airport on the Cap Verde Islands named GVNP. Allthough Praia Intl. is visible on Plan-G as Nelson Mandela Intl Airport, it has no ICAO-code.
- The only Cap Verde airport in FSX is GVAC - Amilcar Carbral on - I think - SAL Island, NorthEast of Praia.

Hi Peter,
Indeed, that BGL works also with FSX (and thus those instructions were marked "FS9/FSX")
You are also right about the "Scenery" folder, but that's exactly what I wrote in the instructions, to copy the file to the "...AddOn Scenery/Scenery" folder. (On the other hand, the "AddOn Scenery" name was misspelled in my post - fixed).
Finally, you are right too about Praia airport (GVNP). It appears this is the new airport that was built in the location of an old one. This "old" airport exists in FS9 as GVFM (name is "Francisco Mendez"). I don't have the means to check in FSX but I expect this airport to be present as well. The proper aliasing will be defined so that FS9/FSX pilots can use GVFM instead of GVNP.
Note also thar GVFM has a shorter runway than GVNP, but even so it's well within the capabilities of the Twin Otter, so we think an AFCAD update was not necessary.

All participants please check the initial post again, I updated it with a few notes about the float-equipped aircraft to use for the transatlantic legs.
