Introduction Iceland is one of the most fascinating places in the world. With FSX being able to render landscape

much better than any other simulator before, we decided it is time to finally develop a product

dedicated to this unique island.

This add-on covers the whole island with thousands of lakes and rivers, mountains and fjords, glac-

iers and lava fields, big cities and tiny villages, waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, islands, roads, bridg-

es, landmarks – and of course more than 40 airports around the island.

In cooperation with the Icelandic FlightSim community we created the best Iceland add-on ever

and hope that you will enjoy this add-on as much as we did developing it. If you do like it, there's

no question where your next (real-world) holiday destination should be: the land of Ice and Fire!

Contact support Support for this product is done by Aerosoft. We prefer to do support on the support forum for one

simple reason, it is fast and efficient because customers help customers when we are sleeping.

Aerosoft forums: http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/

We feel strongly about support. Buying one of our products gives you the right to waste out time

with questions you feel might be silly. They are not.

Installation and removal Installation is simple. Start the exe file you downloaded and follow the instructions on your screen.

Make sure FSX is closed and we do advise you to reboot your system before installing. Make sure

you are logged on as Administrator on the machine! After installing it can help to defragment your

hard disk.

Removal should never be done manually but only using the software removal applet you will find

the Windows Control panel.

General Iceland is one of the

most incredible places

in the world. Its unique

landscape and breath-

taking beauty, gigantic

glaciers, huge number

of rivers, waterfalls,

lakes, geysers, hot

spots and active volca-

noes, this island in the

Atlantic Ocean is like a

time-journey through

the earth's ages. With

around 320,000 inhab-

itants (60% of them

living in the Reykjavik metropolitan area) and a total surface of more than 100,000 square kilome-

ters, the majority of Iceland is rough, untouched nature.

About half of Iceland's land area, which is of recent volcanic origin, consists of a mountainous lava

desert and other wasteland, while eleven percent is covered by the large glaciers which you can all

find in this addon: (graded, biggest first): Vatnajökull, Langjökull, Hofsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Dran-

gajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Snæfellsjökull.


Page 7 of 20

Apart from the fact that the country became world-famous from the ash cloud after the latest

eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in 2010, it attracts tourists from all over the world mostly

because of the unique nature spectacles. (See “places to visit” below)

Due to the rough landscape and the low population density, there are limited means of transporta-

tion in Iceland. To explore the island you have two options: Either you go by car, driving along

Route 1, the famous Ring Road that connects all important towns on the main island (you can fol-

low Route 1 on your tour around the island as well as it is easily spotted from above). The second

option is, obviously, by airplane. Iceland features more than 50 airports, from the international hub

in Keflavik down to literal dirt strips, a surprisingly high number of airfields can be found across the

island. Apart from a few dirt/grass strips this add-on contains all Icelandic airports (except Keflavik

which will be released as a separate add-on due to its size and special importance for international

aviation). You will find a complete airport list with all necessary information in the appendix.

While only Keflavik airport connects Iceland with airports across Europe and America, the airport of

Reykjavik is the main hub for national flights. Air Iceland, better known as “Flugfélag Íslands”, oper-

ates flights from Reykjavik to Akureyri, Egilsstadir, Grimsey (via Akureyri), Isafjordur, the Vestman-

naeyjar islands and across the sea to Greenland and the Faeroer Islands, using Fokker 50 and Dash

8 aircraft. If you use AI traffic addons like MyTraffic2010 or UT2 you will see those aircraft in FSX as

well.

As most airports were not included in FSX default traffic as well as AI traffic addons, we created a

custom General Aviation traffic file that generates realistic VFR traffic on most of the airports in this

addon.

Of course you will not only see air traffic in Iceland but also ship traffic, for example the ferries to

Vestmannaeyjar and Grimsey, cargo ships that connect Iceland with the Faeroer Islands as well as

major European harbors like Rotterdam. You can even find fishing vessels around the island and

the tourist attracting whale watching ships that depart from Husavik in the north.

Iceland seasons To render Iceland as real as it gets we created not 4 but 12 seasons for Iceland. Each month the

island will look different, with a white covered north and green fields in spring and snow covering

the whole island for a very short period only due to the warm Gulfstream, that gives Reykjavik a

mild, warm climate. The north country with Isafjordur and Akureyri on the other hand features a

strong and wet climate with up to 200 days of rain or snow per year (use online weather to experi-

ence this yourself).

Choose different months in FSX to see how Iceland slowly changes from a snow covered country to

green colors full of contrast in summer, with rather dreary colors and snow covered mountains in

autumn.

To get the full experience you need to run the Texture Tool prior to opening FSX and starting your

flight to make sure the airport textures match the season of the scenery around you. In winter you

will see snow covered roofs on all airport buildings. If you use online weather in spring, autumn or

winter it might happen that it starts snowing even though the scenery does not feature winter tex-


Page 8 of 20

tures. FSX recognizes this and changes the terrain textures to snow after a few minutes. With this

feature the terrain will always match the current weather.

Due to the fact that we used the standard airport design method for all airports except Egilsstadir,

you will also see snowy runways in winter and water effects on all hard airport surfaces as soon as

it starts raining or snowing.

Places to visit If you come to Iceland, there are several must-see places that mustn't be missed on your tour

around the island. The famous geysers, waterfalls, glaciers and, most recently of course, the Ey-

jafjallajökull volcano are the reason why every year more than 300,000 tourists (that's more than

Iceland's population!) visit the island from all over the world. If you want to visit those places in FSX

you can either explore the island in free flight using the map or start the Iceland X - Tour mission

that will lead you to all must-see points across the country.

Some of the most important places:

Reykjavik (with the Perlan and the Hallgrimskirkja)

The glaciers (Eyjafjallajökull is not only a must-see but lies close to the Skogarfoss and Sel-

jandsfoss waterfalls)

The Vestmannaeyjar Islands

The waterfalls (Dettifoss, Godafoss, Skogarfoss,...)

The world-famous geysers at Geysir and (very close-by) Strokkur

Hot spots around the country, the Blue Lagoon being the most famous one

The Peace Tower (a powerful light beam in the Reakjavik area that was constructed as a

memorial for John Lennon and is lit from October 9th (his birthday) until December 8th

(the day he was shot) every year.

Texture Tool This add-on includes a tool to adjust seasonal textures. You can also switch Mipmapping on and off

using this tool. This is important if you face blurry textures, flickering or the Moiré effect on some

buildings.

To start the Texture Tool navigate to the Aerosoft - Iceland X folder in your windows start menu.

You can also use the Seasons.exe in the Aerosoft folder, using the windows explorer, it is the same

tool.

Seasons: FSX adjusts seasonal textures automatically, except textures of photo airport

backgrounds and building textures. In order to get correct seasonal textures for the BIEG

airport background as well as seasonal changes for buildings and other objects (mostly

snow covered roofs in winter), chose the season you want and click OK. You will then be

asked if you want to use MipMaps.

MipMaps: Unfortunately FSX handles textures in a way that leads to rather different re-

sults depending on the graphic card used. The most important factor in this matter is Mip-

Maps. While some users tend to like textures without MipMaps (because they offer sharp-

er texture resolution in the distance), others might suffer texture flickers and Moiré pat-

terns if using textures without MipMaps. We think it's best to let you decide yourself. Simp-

ly click on "Yes" or "No" to select/unselect MipMap textures.

Restart FSX and you will immediately see the difference.

Display settings In order to change your scenery settings, go to Settings -> Display

Note: All other settings not mentioned here are up to you. They don’t actually affect the scenery

very much. Keep in mind to do your settings with care otherwise you may overload your system.

Graphics menu

Target frame rate set to Unlimited is strongly recommended.

Global texture resolution should be at Very high to get the full detail in textures.

Advanced animations has to set to ON.

Light bloom set to On will allow you to see the lighting in more detail and the low demands

on fps should make this setting possible.

Scenery settings

Mesh is important for this scenery. Set Mesh Complexity to 100 and resolution to 5 meters.

Texture resolution should be at 1 m or less to get the best resolution of the aerial image

under the 3D objects.

Scenery Complexity strongly affects the speed of the scenery. Start with Extremely dense

and reduce that if your system finds it hard to cope.

Autogen Complexity: Iceland has very few trees and other vegetation. For this reason you

should get a very good performance even with extremely high autogen settings, but you

might want to reduce autogen if you suffer a frame-rate impact in Reykjavik.

Ground scenery shadows can be On or Off depending on your own preference.

Special effects details should be on High to see all the special animations.

Airport Information All Icelandic airports are included in this add-on (with the exception of some airstrips that do not

feature any buildings, lights, objects or taxiways).

You will notice that several airports feature almost the same buildings. This is no laziness of the

developer but rather a result of Iceland being a rather small country and most airports constructed

by the same company. The smaller aiport may deviate a bit from their real archetypes though as it

was very tough to acquire material of all airports.

F.A.Qs. Q: Is this add-on DX10 compatible?

A: Apart from the 3d Light cones (that can be disabled), yes.

Q: Is this add-on compatible with other add-ons in the area?

A: Not as far as we are aware.

Q: There seem to be issues with the airport lighting at day/night transitions. Is this normal?

A: No but it isn't curable. FSX sometimes has its own ways of switching day/night textures. If you

face any texture or scenery problems, open the scenery library and click OK (or use the "refresh

scenery" shortcut) to reload scenery and textures.

Q: AI aircraft vanish after landing, get stuck before take-off or turn around on the runway. How can

I fix this?

A: This is default FSX behaviour that cannot be fixed by the scenery. We included some tricks

though, that should prevent AI aircraft from using wrong taxiways and turning on the runway 99%

of the time.

Q: The 3D light cones disappear on rainy days. How can I fix this?

A: Unfortunately there is no way of rendering the light cones in front of clouds. You can disable this

option in the Visuals Tool though.

Q: I get blurry or flickering textures all over the airport. What can I do?

A: Try enabling/disabling MipMaps using the Visuals Tool.
