- FLIGHT SIMULATOR SCENERY FILES FOR CUBA
- ---------------------------------------
- Requires IBM FS4 with ASD
- -------------------------
- Note: SD-7 is not recommended for use with this file due to a green polygon
- which occupies a large area in the vicinity of Cuba.
-
- CUBA.ZIP Contains the following files:-
- 2
- CUBAWEST.SC1 SEE04 enhanced scenery file for western Cuba.
- CUBACNTR.SC1 SEE04 enhanced scenery file for central Cuba.
- CUBAEAST.SC1 SEE04 enhanced scenery file for eastern Cuba.
- CUBAWEST.SC2 }
- CUBACNTR.SC2 } Unenhanced scenery files as above.
- CUBAEAST.SC2 }
- CUBAEAST.DY1 Dynamic scenery for Guantanamo Bay area.
- GUANTANA.MOD Mode file - Learjet on ground at Guantanamo Bay NAS.
- CUBA-DOC.TXT This document.
-
- Memory allocation requirements for these files are 50K for static and 20K
- for dynamic scenery, with 15 scenery objects.
-
- Anybody hoping to find detiled scenery in these files is going to be
- disappointed. The only exception is the Naval base at Guantanam Bay. The
- Naval Air Station there has plenty of detail, but any resemblance to the
- real Guantanamo Bay is purely coincidental. The time required to do a
- proper job on the island is far greater than I can devote to the subject.
- The lack of available reference material didn't help matters either.
-
- The reason for doing Cuba is simple enough. Because it's there! Not doing
- it would leave a very big hole in the Caribbean area scenery which is being
- created by a fair-sized group of people. The reason for splitting it into
- 3 files is also simple. While it would have been feasible to get it all
- into one file, (CUBACNTR actually contains the complete land mass,) the
- scenery would have required a boundary of about 375 miles radius. This
- would have enclosed not only Jamaica and a large part of the Bahamas, but
- also much of Florida as well.
-
- These files are not completely devoid of "scenery". I have included pretty
- well all the mountains that exceed 1000' in height, as well as all the
- lakes that are more than 3 or 4 miles in diameter. Runways are in place
- for about 20 airports, some of them with approach lighting, and some with
- fuel. As already mentioned Guantanamo Bay has a lot to look at.
-
- A listing of airfields and Navaids follows. I have included all the VORs,
- on the island, and a few in neighboring countries as well. I put most of
- the NDBs in. I left off a few that didn't really seem necessary for FS
- navigational purposes. The airport listings have been simplified. I only
- show details for the longest runway for those airports that have more than
- one. The listing is as follows:- Following the name is the length of the
- longest runway. Then comes the heading for this runway, followed by the
- elevation. Airports with more than one runway have the number in the next
- column. Then comes the 3-letter identification of the nearest Navaid. The
- next three columns indicate which airports have fuel dumps, which have
- approach lighting, and which are operated by the military. Finally we
- have the FS coordinates for the airport.
-
- Note: Due to compromises which had to be made to the shape and positioning
- of the island some Navaid bearings will not agree with those derived from
- charts for the area.

- different from city name.)
