FSDG – Kastellorizo X INTRODUCTION Kastello-what? Of all the beautiful Greek islands in the Mediterranean, Kastellorizo sure isn't among the most popular. While we know Rhodes, Crete, Kos and others as popular tourist destinations, the small island of Kastellorizo is known only to very few.

FSDG – Kastellorizo X GENERAL Kastellorizo (“Red Castle”) is the easternmost of more than 3,000 Greek islands in the Mediterranean. Also known as Megisti or Meis (Turkish name for the island), the remote island has always been a bulwark against the nearby Turkish coast, to which Kastellorizo proudly hoists its Greek flag. In its tumultuous history, the island had been under Frensch, Italian and British administration and has seen lucky days as well as desperate times.
FSDG – Kastellorizo X There are 3 start locations available in LGKJ, two at the ends of the runway and one at the apron. You can select those start locations form the airports menu in FSX. Apart from the airport, there is one other place to land on the island of Kastellorizo, that is the helipad at the military area above the village.
FSDG – Kastellorizo X RO AND STROGGILI Two smaller islands flank Kastellorizo, the island of Ro in the west and Stroggili in the east. Both are uninhabited, but feature heli pads that can be used. Stroggili also has a working lighthouse that can easily be seen from Kastellorizo at night. You can start a flight directly on the helipads by loading the pre-saved free flights that come with this scenery. SOUND EFFECTS This addon includes several realistic sound effects to enhance your island experience.
FSDG – Kastellorizo X AI AIRCRAFT AND SHIPS Due to the small runway and tiny apron area, it is not possible to make FSX AI land and depart there in a realistic way. If you use traffic addons that cover LGKJ, you will probably see AI aircraft trying to land on the airport, but usually they fail to do so. We hope that the next generation of flight simulators can handle AI on airports like Kastellorizo. To give you AI traffic on/around the island, we included AI ships though.
FSDG – Kastellorizo X FSX SETTINGS In order to change your scenery settings, go to Settings -> Display Note that these settings will influence the quality of the scenery. The higher the settings the more details will be visible. But keep in mind that framerate and overall performance might decrease depending on your PC system.
FSDG – Kastellorizo X Kastellorizo X makes use of 2048x2048 landclass textures in combination with photoreal images to give the best possible resolution of ground textures. By default, FSX does not load 2048 textures with their highest resolution. You can tell FSX to load the full resolution, though. Open your FSX.CFG and find/add/edit the following line: [GRAPHICS] … TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048 Save the file and start FSX. Due to the way FSX handles the FSX.
