INTRODUCTION
1 million tourists every year can't be wrong! Mauritus is one of the most beautful holiday destnatons in
the world, regularly winning awards for the World's Leading Island and World's Best Beaches. You don't

have to get married to visit Mauritus, but if you do chances are you'll spend your honeymoon on this
beautful island in the Indian Ocean. State-of-the-art resorts, perfect scuba diving conditons, breathtaking
beaches, and to top it of a modern internatonal airport with a new terminal able to handle even the
world's biggest airliners. No mater if you arrive from Dubai with the A380, non-stop from Paris in the 777
or from Reunion afer a quick island hopping fight, Mauritus is the destnaton of your choice!
For this addon we created the main islands of Mauritus (except Rodrigues) with stunning visuals, including
more than 150,000 custom placed autogen buildings and landmarks, helipads, road trafc, night lights,
natural landmarks and a lot more. Combined with an incredibly detailed renditon of Sir Seewoosagur
Ramgoolam Internatonal Airport this scenery is one of the most complex addons ever built for
fightsimulaton. We had a lot of fun creatng it – we sure hope you'll have even more fun exploring it!

OTHER LANDING SITES

Apart from Mauritus Internatonal Airport there are several other locatons you can land. We created
(fctonal) ICAO codes for some of those in order to show them on the map and to generate AI trafc for
them. You will fnd a total of 28 helipads on the island (see chapter Mauritus Helipilot for details), some of
whom feature AI heli trafc. Additonal to them you'll fnd a few waterplane bases and the small grass strip
in the north-east, home of the famous SkyDive Austral parachutng club.

AI TRAFFIC
FSDG-Mauritus includes lots of AI trafc. We created custom models and schedules for AI ships as well as

helicopters, GA aircraf, waterplanes and commercial airliners. You'll fnd waterplanes and helicopters
linking some of the major resorts and hotels while small GA airplanes circle the island and sometmes land
at the airport or at the small airstrip in the north. Since default AI trafc does not feature any Air Mauritus
aircraf and even big AI trafc addons like MyTrafc include only a limited Air Mauritus feet we decided to
include a small feet of our own. For MyTrafc users we also included schedules that enhance the trafc at
FIMP to give you a very realistc selecton of aircraf and airlines like Air Austral, Air Seychelles, Air France
and almost every airline that regularly visits Mauritus in reality.

Custom made AI aircraf models:

– Bell 206L helicopter (Air Mauritus)

– S38 ultra light aircraf (Breitling & Island Wings)
– Ekolot waterplane (Island Wings)
– DHC 6 Twin Oter (Air Mauritus)
– ATR 72-300 (Air Mauritus & Air Austral)
– Airbus A330-200 (Air Mauritus)

IMPORTANT: AI trafc impacts overall performance and sometmes makes the simulator crash! If you
experience any of these symptoms disable AI trafc in the Confg Tool.

MISSION: MAURITIUS HELIPILOT

When researching for this project we realized there are several helipads on Mauritus, mostly used for
shutle services and tourist fights. That's when we decided to include a mission/scenario that helps and
encourages you to explore the wonderful island of Mauritus. It is based on the mission structure of our
popular Flight Tales II „SPAT“ mission and includes 25 helipad locatons with more than 70 diferent job

assignments.
In this mission you're a pilot for the Mauritus tourist program. Your job is to fy passengers all around the
island, similar to a cab service. Your work horse is the 8-seat Bell 206L JetRanger (FSX) or a fctonal Bell 222
VIP helicopter (P3D version – no interior model included).
You don't want to bore your passengers with radio chater so you'll get your job assignments via your cell
phone. Dispatch will send you messages to inform you about open jobs and other requests/informaton.
Sensitve messages will arrive using the vibraton alarm.
Use the parking brake to interact with dispatch or access the mission menu.

If you run out of fuel, crash the helicopter (engine dead but model stll intact) or run into any other
problem you can evacuate the helicopter and reset the mission logic or send one of the passengers to get
you some fuel. Only use these optons in an emergency, though!
Bring up the load editor and mission progress monitor by pressing shif+7 / shif+8. You'll get promoted
and receive higher tps if you satsfy your customers.
You can take on several jobs at a tme, just make sure you arrive at the designated locatons in tme.
The mission does not end. You can save your progress and contnue as long as you want, getng lots of
diferent job assignments and climbing the reputaton ladder to become the best helipilot in Mauritus!

IMPORTANT:

If you load the Mauritus Helipilot scenario in P3D you will get an error message. That error message is

redundant and will not afect the mission in any way!

FSX SETTINGS
In order to change your scenery setngs, frst run FSX and then go to Setngs -> Display

Note that these setngs will infuence the quality of the scenery. The higher the setngs the more details
will be visible. But keep in mind that frame-rate and overall performance might decrease depending on
your PC system.

We suggest trying these setngs or higher to get the best visual results in FSX:

FSX TEXTURE RESOLUTION

This add-on makes use of 2048x2048 textures to give the best possible resoluton of ground textures. By
default, FSX does not load 2048 textures with their highest resoluton. To overcome this, simply navigate to
your FSX.CFG and make the necessary changes.

For Windows Vista and Win7 (and later) the fle can be found by the following steps:

1) Press start menu and type in the search box: %appdata%

2) Open the following folders: Microsof  FSX

3) Find FSX.cfg and open it with Notepad

4) Press Ctrl+F to search the text.

5) In the search box, type: TEXTURE_MAX

6) Once you fnd the line: ‘TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024’, change it to ‘TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048’

(or 4096 if needed)

7) Save the fle

8) Start FSX

BE AWARE

Due to the way FSX handles the FSX.CFG, texture resoluton will revert back to default (1024) every tme
you change any of your FSX display setngs. Therefore, you should go back and check that full texture
resoluton is supported in the FSX.CFG before startng FSX. If you're inexperienced with these things, don't
worry. You can just keep the default texture load size (1024) and stll use the add-on with detailed ground
textures.

Useful Tip: If you are happy with your display setngs and have made the necessary FSX.cfg editng,
you can now save a user confguraton of the setngs. The TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048 entry will be saved
in that confguraton fle too. In the future, whenever you choose this saved confguraton, even when FSX is
stll running, you will be sure that you are using the highest texture resoluton without worrying whether
FSX has reverted back to default setngs . This way, you don't need to exit FSX, edit the FSX.CFG and reload
FSX.

For questons and support regarding texture resoluton or confguraton fle set-up, please contact
us at www.fsdg-online.com

P3D SETTINGS & INFORMATION

If you use Prepar3Dv4 the scenery is added automatcally to P3D. Unlike FSX the addon fles are stored
externally, though. You'll fnd them in USER DOCUMENTS/Prepar3D v4 Add-ons.

To get the best visual results in P3D we suggest using (at least) these setngs:

To make use of the high resoluton textures of

this addon we suggest setng texture reso-
luton to 2048. You can reduce this setng to
1024 if your PC runs out of memory.

Shadows heavily afect the framerate. We

suggest using shadows of a medium quality
and disabling several of the shadow optons.
Dynamic Lightng also has a relatvely big
impact. Use the Confg Tool if you want to
disable the dynamic lights in this scenery.

We strongly suggest to use these Terrain

setngs. Lower Level of Detail or Mesh
resoluton setngs can lead to visual drawbacks.

FSDG-Reunion includes very dense autogen. If

you want to see all of it you need to max the
sliders. This can afect the overall performance.

SCENERY CONFIGURATOR (FSX/P3D)

FSDG-Mauritus ofers switchable items via the FSDG Scenery Confgurator.

The Confgurator is automatcally installed at the end of the scenery installaton. If not you can always get
the Confgurator in the free ‘Tools’ sectons of our webshop: htp://fsdg-online.com

For additonal help, please refer to the Confgurator Help manual, which can be accessed direclty via the
FSDG scenerye confgurator tool, or contact us for additonal support.

Scenery Features:

Each opton comes with a descripton in the descripton

box, explaining the visual and performance impact it has.

Additonal MyTrafc schedules should only be actvated if

MyTrafc is used.

Dynamic Lights can drastcally impact performance in

P3Dv4. Disable this opton if you experience low fps.

Since this scenery should give fuid framerates on almost

every PC there should usually be no need to change or
reduce default setngs.

F.A.Q.
Q: Is this add-on DX10 compatble? (FSX)
A: The scenery is compatble with DX10, in combinaton with SteveFX DX10 fx
(more info here: htps://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/how-to-purchase/)

Q: Is this add-on P3D compatble?

A: Yes, you can use FSDG-Mauritus with Prepar3D v3 and v4.

Q: Is this add-on compatble with other add-ons including UTX, FTX or FS Global?
A: There should be no problem with any other add-on.

Q: The scenery library is not updated automatcally on installaton of the add-on. How can I fx this?
A: If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 (or later) you are strongly advised to start the setup as
administrator (right-click and “run as administrator”) and disable the User Account Control.
Reinstall the add-on to make sure the setup added the FSDG-Mauritus scenery area to the FSX
scenery library.

Q: I have technical problems with installing or running this add-on. Can you help me?
A: Yes! Please contact us at htp://forum.fightsimdevelopmentgroup.com/

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

A: No but it isn't curable. FSX sometmes 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.
