| IMPORTANT NOTE PLEASE READ:
I regret to inform that this scenery will not be updated anymore, I built this scenery in a earlier build and some files got corrupted and fails to load in the SDK, you can still donwload it, it will still be working but not as intended.
However, I will slowly rebuild this package from scratch with only the base models and some addon libraries for all to enjoy and not just deluxe owners, when i do have the time to do so, as I do enjoy flying in the bahamas.
So keep an eye out for Project Life Bahamas Remastered in the near future !
Thank you for all the support and kind words.
Airports in this package:
- Arthurs Town (MYCA)
- Cape Eleuthera (MYZ2)

Hi Piefly,
On MYCC there is a large rock in the runway when using the SU10 beta. It is unusable. Is it possible to fix it?
Thanks.
Pandy1977 3 month(s) ago
I'm also getting this same issue, also at Cat Cay - MYCC. Can you offer any advice!
Alvega 3 month(s) ago
I disabled MYCC with Addons Linker until this gets fixed.

This is a great pack and I love the attention to detail.
However I implore you to not add parts from the Deluxe version as a lot of people (including myself) do not have that and there's no way to get it without shelling out A LOT of money. All of the other parts packs are free. This essentially makes your sceneries stuck behind a paywall, and that's unfortunate.
So is there a way you could find replacement parts from one of the many parts park you're using instead of from the Deluxe version? Thanks!
PieFly 5 month(s) ago
Thanks , I am looking in to it, this was my first attempt, so with my new scenery I will pay more attention to what models I use, to accommodate for those that don't have the deluxe version

NightHawk1867
Thank you for all your work and updating your scenery.
Would consider creating a read me file with some airport info and a list of scenery asset dependencies. Lots of us use msfs addons and a list would make it easier to check that they are 'turned on.' Thanks.
PieFly 8 month(s) ago
Thank you NightHawk, I already did, and removed the long list 😊

Hi. Wanted to let you now I've post a new flight plan for all your scenery on Emilie's discord.
ps South Bimini MYBS does not appear to be in the download. (Jan 22 3pm est). It would be great if it was cause thats where I ended the flight plan.
PieFly 8 month(s) ago
Thank you Nighthawk,will have a look

I've got this mixed with other Bahamian airports, but your work is easy to ID with all the scenery additions. Well done.
BBdulcy
Very nice! Only one glitch at MYCB https://i.imgur.com/KqsBnL1.png
PieFly 9 month(s) ago
Do you have the standard version of MSFS or premium?
BBdulcy 9 month(s) ago
I have the premium de luxe from microsoft store version.
PieFly 9 month(s) ago
just make sure all the freeware packs and airports in the market place within the sim is also installed, like EDLP, its a freeware scenery... as the scenery is working on my side
BBdulcy 9 month(s) ago
Okay, thanks! I will look into it. It is one of my addons i guess. The rest of MYxx is fine. Thanks for your reply!
Alvega 8 month(s) ago
I have this problem too, did you find out what was causing it?
Thanks.
BBdulcy 8 month(s) ago
I have everything disabled except this addon Bahamas, still the problem exist:https://i.imgur.com/EqOTpVr.png.

I will have a look into this, thank you

Thanks a lot!!

So, did you modified the 2 objects? Waiting for an update. Regards Bouwe

Thank for your scenery in bringing Bahamas to life.
When I run AddonLinker [ModelLib changer] it says that the reference in layout.json file to "scenery/Cape Eleuthera (MYZ2)/modelLib.BGL" could not be found. And true, there is no modelLib.bgl file in that folder.
mark429112 9 month(s) ago
Hi Terblanche, I was just wondering, for a while now when I fly around MYZ2 I'm getting square blotches in the water out a little away from the island where the placed boats are. Just wondering if you were experiencing the same due to the problem that you found. Thanks Mark.
Terblanche 9 month(s) ago
I've disabled the that airport until I have confirmation that it should or should not have the ModelLib file because I've seen CTDs before when there is something missing with / without ModelLib file. AddonLinker is great to get rid of the problem but it can't do anything if the file does not exist and mentioned in the layout.json. Will let you know, the moment I know.
PieFly 9 month(s) ago
No need to worry about the modellib, you can rename it via addons linker, will see if i can remove it all together, but there are no custom models that uses the modellib, every model is in the scenery bgl file, I flew there today with no problems at all.
But I will have a look. thank you for the feedback.
PieFly 9 month(s) ago
Hi Mark, I also have noticed the water tiles, this is the sim itself with the photogrammetry. Its nothing to do with the scenery I made.
mark429112 9 month(s) ago
Hey PieFly, thanks for the test on the scenery. Ok great. Let's hope they can get this figured out. Thanks again for the great scenery.
Terblanche 9 month(s) ago
Thank you for your reply ... I will just manually delete the reference in the layout.json file if the ModelLib is unnecessary.
PieFly 8 month(s) ago
yes you can do that, sorry for the late reply, there are no custom models yet...

You have listed https://flightsim.to/file/17576/sheds needed for this scenery, but Sheds is not packaged as a library. It is for use by developers to incorporate objects directly into the model library. Downloading Sheds to the community folder is not supported by this pack.
PieFly 9 month(s) ago
I noticed this, thank you I will remove it from the list.
Tomcat22
Can anyone confirm this still works? 😊
PieFly 12 month(s) ago
Yes, they are still working, if you notice something, let me know
mark429112
Hi, fantastic scenery! But I was taking off to the west from MYZ2 and then turned left and as soon as I was over the water it started to square blotch up to a very light colored blue almost. Just wondering if anyone was having the same problem. Thanks.
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
will have a look into this... it might be the sim itself, as on my side its all good
FurtherAM
This is most excellent compared to the old bahamas one! Wonder if you could also finish rest of cay.. norman cay would be amazing if you could add the plane wreck from Ledger the cocacine guy from pablo..
FSMM
Including Turks and Caicos?
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
it is planned... just waiting on asobo to sort out all the bugs first
Chuck5674
I really like your project! Do you have any plans to add MYBS?
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
Hi Chuck, yes MYBS is on the list.. but with so many bugs in MSFS after the update, it really is a big headache creating sceneries, but yes I will add it, just give me some time... others that are on list as well is MYAP,MYLD,MYX1,MYCI,MYIG,MYMM... so there is lots to do... but it will come in due time, just follow me (on flightsim.to/social media ) then you should receive updates of when I release them.

MYCC will seize my updated SU5. I have many addons so I am not sure whats causing this...I will have to troubleshoot. Of course I started out with Zero addons then gradually I reinstall...seems I have several addons that are "confirmed Wu5 compatible" that seize my sim. I dont get CTD's it just stops when loading. I give you five stars anyways since all the other 'ports work. And I think the culprit is something in my system, not your scenery 😀
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
Thank you for notifying me, I will look into this and get back to you as soon as possible
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
Just took a flight there and everything seems fine.. flew around , did a circuit... and everything was good...maybe another mod thats causing the CTD?
BostonElf 1 year(s) ago
LOL I do seem to have different issues than others...I do not get CTD, the sim freezes during the loading process. It could be an AMD driver quirk for all I know, I run an i7 9700KF and 32Gb 3600 ram and an AMD 6800XT. Seems the new sim uses a lot less VRAM but toasts the GPU. I normally figure out everything in a few weeks , just in time for the next update that does funny things. I had 939 addons last time running stable... thank you for looking into it. 😊
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
It might be, I am running a Ryzen 9 5950X,32GB ram and an RTX 3090 24GB, and even when designing the scenery its laggy as hell, but please keep me posted, I know there are a couple of mods that give CTD's because they haven't been updated yet..at the moment I am only running the asset library packs and my sceneries, to ensure they are working and not giving any problems.
BostonElf 1 year(s) ago
With all my 598 addons (target is still around 900+ ), its highly likely its another addon that does something weird to your scenery causing it to seize. I will keep at it, - updating or deleting other mods is likely to fix it. You noticed my praise of your other scenery, Great Harbour Cay MYBG, now that works just fine 😊
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
Thank you, well I also have a couple of mods and I found a couple thats giving CTDS but my sceneries on my side are all working fine... do you use MSFS addons linker?
BostonElf 1 year(s) ago
I don't use MSFS Addon Linker, I should try it I suppose; I pour folders into community. I rename folders like this: MYBG Great Harbour Cay 1.0 PieFly --> that groups airports with ICAO and lines them up with countries, and I use terms such as Aircraft, Bridge, Library, Landmark. It has worked perfectly for me. so far 😁
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
I highly suggest use MSFS addons linker, its much easier to sort and troubleshoot with your addons by one simple click of a tick box.
BostonElf 1 year(s) ago
I shall heed your advice : Meanwhile I deleted a number of items and updated many items recently with SU5 support: Now MYCC works like a charm, its really wonderful 😊
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
No worries, just DM me on here and i will help you with addons linker, Glad that MYCC is working, have fun!

Seems like a great work, will test in on the weekend, but jsut a comment:
The links to MYCA and MYCB are broken.
Add: Thanks for linking, just tested it yet, amazing work 😊
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
Thank you will quickly link them
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
MYCA and MYCB are correctly linked

Nice work but I have to redo your layout.json files.
I noticed you are correctly naming the modellib.BGL files differently as explained bu MS/Asobo. But I also realized you are not changing the location of the file in the layout.json file. For example:
"path": "scenery/Cape Eleuthera (MYZ2)/modelLib.BGL",
and it should be the correct path and file name: Example:
"path": "scenery/Cape Eleuthera (MYZ2)/Cape Eleuthera (MYZ2)modelLib.BGL",
since that is the filename. MSFS doesn't actually see your file without the correct name in the path.
Again, Thanks for your work.
PieFly 1 year(s) ago
Thank you for the feedback, please can you DM me in more detail this problem? as on my side I just drop it into the Community folder...and it works..
