Installation Tips for a "Solid" Experience
- Disable the default HECA: In FS2004, go to Scenery Library, find "Cairo" (default AP9 file) and uncheck it. Otherwise, you'll get floating buildings (default + add-on conflict).
- Use a mesh add-on: The default FS2004 elevation at HECA is slightly off. Install FSGlobal 2008 or FreeMeshX (converted for FS9) to avoid runways floating above the ground.
- Add a texture mod: Download the optional "Armi Project HECA Texture Update Pack" (found on Avsim library – search "armi_heca_tex2.zip"). This improves the runway asphalt from "gray blob" to "gray blob with tire marks."
