Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Scenery ver 0.9

Yamanote-line Scenery ver 1.1 new

Moving Yamanote-line Scenery ver 0.1
a

Shinagawa Intercity Scenery ver 1.0

Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Scenery ver 0.9

This is a scenery of a part of Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway.

In this version, MS and TW versions are released at the same time. Whole of #3 Shibuya line is opened !
Yoga toll gate (on thru traffic) and Yoga entrance-exit are made.

I make light version and detail version for a countermeasure against hysteresis effect. Please look below.

Highway in the sunshine morning. Just after take off from Tokyo International Haneda Airport.
You can see Rainbow bridge (included in Microsoft scenery) in the distance.

Because it's heavy, I make another page of Photo gallery, it's HERE.

Whole of #3 Shibuya line is opened !

Light version and detail version -- in the case of FS5.1 and FS6 --
Sometimes road or the other objects disappear because the number of objects is too many. For the countermeasure against this phenomenon, I make light and detail versions from ver0.5. You have to change files to be installed as you need.
Light version Tko_hw1.bgl(#1 scenery)
This is a scenery for normal flight. Most of road unit is omitted in JCTs, curve roads are omitted, no road sign, no leg, and no underpass road for decreasing the number of objects. It is too low quality to see in close up, but it is enough to see from a long distance.
Detail version Tko_hw20,21,...bgl(#20's sceneries)
These are sceneries not for flight but for sight seeing. Detail expressions are implemented, but if you install whole detail version sceneries then objects disappears certainly.
Recommended installation method
If you are interested in only flight not in sight seeing, please install light version only for MEX or Yamanote-line. (That is Tko_hw1.bgl or Tko_tr1.bgl .)
If you are interested in not only flight but also sight seeing, please change files as follows. If you want to see MEX near Haneda airport, please install a file Tko_hw21.bgl. If you want to see Yamanote-line in the center of Tokyo, please install a file Tko_tr20.bgl. If you install the other files, some objects disappear in most cases. I show you the scope of each detail version scenery in this figure. The scene near boundary is included in both files.

FS98converter By FS98converter, FS98 version-up is executed. This version-up enables to ease a limitation of the number of objects drastically, and you can install most of detail version files in the same time without disappearing any objects. I recommend to use FS98converter if you have FS98. About FS98(J), it's probably OK without any treatment. Detail explanation is HERE.

Yamanote-line Scenery ver 1.1

This is a scenery for a part of tracks of JR lines e.g. Yamanote-line and others, and some trains of Yamanote-line with 11 cars.

In this version, the construction of railway is completed from Shinagawa to Gotanda. Further, I put one train of CW direction between Osaki and Shinagawa.

I make light version and detail version for a countermeasure against hysteresis effect. Please look below.

New scene of this version; Osaki station. Yamate-dori ave. is crossed over the station.

Because it's heavy, I make another page of Photo gallery, it's HERE.

In spite of finishing an east side of the center of Tokyo,
it's "long", from now on yet.
It may be life work ?

Light version and detail version -- in the case of FS5.1 and FS6 --
Sometimes road or the other objects disappear because the number of objects is too many. For the countermeasure against this phenomenon, I make light and detail versions from ver0.2. You have to change files to be installed as you need.
Light version Tko_tr1.bgl(#1 scenery)
This is a scenery for normal flight. No leg, some tracks and platforms are omitted, and no trains for decreasing the number of objects. You may feel something is lacking for no train, but train is not able to be seen from a long distance in either case.
Detail version Tko_tr20,...bgl(#20's sceneries)
These are sceneries not for flight but for sight seeing. Detail expressions including trains are implemented, but if you install whole detail version sceneries then objects disappears certainly.
Recommended installation method
If you are interested in only flight not in sight seeing, please install light version only for MEX or Yamanote-line. (That is Tko_hw1.bgl or Tko_tr1.bgl, two files.)
If you are interested in not only flight but also sight seeing, please change files as follows. If you want to see MEX near Haneda airport, please install a file Tko_hw21.bgl. If you want to see Yamanote-line in the center of Tokyo, please install a file Tko_tr20.bgl. If you install the other files, some objects disappear in most cases. I show you the scope of each detail version scenery in this figure. The scene near boundary is included in both files.

Moving Yamanote-line Scenery ver 0.1

Yamanote-line is moving. This is a scenery of Tokyo and Yurakucho stations in the center of Tokyo, the rail between these stations, and one train of Yamanote-line with 11 cars departing Yurakucho station.

The stations and rails are the same as above Yamanote-line scenery, but a train is different. The train starts to stop at Yurakucho station with door open at zero second in every minute, and depart after 8 seconds passed with increasing speed. After about 30 seconds, the train disappears.

The last train, isn't it ?

****** IMPORTANT NOTICE ******
Please delete all sceneries except default FS5.1 or 6 sceneries. (Please delete Tokyo MEX and Yamanote-line.) Because moving objects consume many numbers of the objects, this scenery almost reach the limit of the numbers of the objects by only this scenery. If you use it with the other sceneries, then a part of them or all of them will disappear. This file is special. Please read Readme file after unzipped carefully.

It seems better that you think this scenery is special file only for looking at moving Yamanote-line, not for using in usual flight, with thinking about not affordable to use with the other sceneries. And adding to the phenomenon derived from FS specification of the limit of the number of objects, there is another limit of the number of the objects in a PerspectiveCall routine. It causes that a rear view of Yamanote-line is abnormal except stopping at the station.

How to distinguish versions
It's only the first version. Please look a property of this bgl file by clicking a right button of the mouse. You will find a made/modified date and size of the file like this.

Shinagawa Intercity scenery ver 1.0

I make buildings A, B, and C of Shinagawa Intercity with the construction of Shinagawa station of the Yamanote-line scenery.
I express the number of floors of them, windows, and night lights etc.

I have made some sceneries, at last I make normal buildings in this time. (I think NAGANO Ski Jumping tower is not a normal one, isn't it ?) The number of the objects and the time for constructing of Tokyo MEX and Yamanote-line tracks are very larger than these of the buildings (specially, curb rails and inter changes have many objects.).

Shinagawa Intercity and Rainbow bridge (Microsoft scenery) in an early morning. You can see Tokyo MEX #1 Haneda line.

The night view of buildings B, and C. Do you like it ?

Making of Tokyo Highway
I introduce you a brief description of the road work.

Display limit of a scenery
I write about the limit of the number of objects etc. in a Flight Simulator scenery.

Dynamic scenery Tips
I write about the miscellaneous impression on making dynamic scenery.

Railways for the World of the Microsoft Flight Simulator
Like my Yamanote-line scenery, he makes railways for the world of Flight Simulator scenery.
What a nice and detail. His scenery has an overhead wire !

Scenery FAQ
Sometimes I hear that the scenery does not appear. If you use the other scenery together, sometimes the scenery disappears. I check an operation only in a default condition of original MS Flight Simulator. If you use the other add-on scenery or sceneries made by the other persons together, sometimes scenery does not appear. Please look at HERE in detail.
