Arches National Park, Utah, USA
Created for MSFS2020 By Richard 'Georender' Goldstein January 2021
Introduction................
Thank you for downloading this scenery. I have travelled this area many times IRL and visited the Utah National Parks several times. This is probably my favourite so I'm really pleased to be able to share it.
It is not the final version, but I will wait until we have a suitable DEM SDK in order to create a definitive ground blending capability and refine the scenery complexity/region sizes etc.
There are quite a few visual glitches, off colour textures, missing sections, holes etc. I'm not sure why some of them occur and not including those areas didn't seem like an option so they are included warts 'n all. Hopefully fixed in next version.
At present it is not possible to land on the detailed scenery areas. They are not solid in this respect. Hopefully that can change in the future.
Loading times will be longer than usual. Especially if you are not using an SSD drive for scenery.
I highly recommend that you add one or two centimeters of snow for terrain blending purposes. Furthermore, the blue tint of sky reflected off of the snow adds a colour which is complimentary to the orange rocks and this enhances the depth and realism of the terrain relief. There is also a huge ugly cloud on the satellite image right next to KCNY and this becomes masked when using snow!
About Arches...................
Wikipedia pretty much covers it.........
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arches_National_Park
INSTALLATION:.................
Unzip. Then place all six folder that are prefixed with 'Geo_' into your Community folder. Thats all there is to it. In your Community folder you will have six new folders as named below..............
Geo_CourthouseTowers
Geo_DelicateArch
Geo_EyeOfWhale
Geo_FieryFurnace
Geo_Greatwall
Geo_WindowsSection
The areas above contain detailed terrain as shown in yellow highlight on the included map.
At present the Devils garden area is missing and will likely be added in the future.
How to find it..................
Take off from KCNY and head SSE following Highway 191. Entrance to the park and the Courthouse Towers section is approximately 10nm on a heading of 135 degrees. Turn into the park and follow the suggested route in order to familiarise yourself with the area.

Richard. You are my new MSFS Hero! I have enjoyed your Sedona and Arches scenery enhancements are so awesome ... they just take my breath away. Is there any way I can buy you a cup of coffee (or two) for your enhancements to a already wonderful sim?

I drink too much coffee as it is. You have one on me 😊

Also it contains multiple modelLib.BGL files known to be a cause to CTD

Yes, the next scenery uses a very different technique.

Do you have any idea why the Addons-Linker does not seem able to read the manifest.json files, and hence cannot link to them? Unlike other scenery, only way to install them was to put them directly into the Community folder.

Snow, autumn trees in golden colours (with a mod here from flightsim.to) and sunset ... VFR at it's finest!

PS : I remember some "Georender" good sceneries for old FS ... many years ago !! I guess you made them ? Great work !
georender 2 year(s) ago
I may revive some of the old Georenders as freeware. Especially the ones that have been closed down. Nostalgia!
