Aerosoft Corfu X 1.00 Manual
INTRODU C T I ON
Located in the Ionian Sea and not far from Italy, the island of Corfu has been a favorite holiday destination ever since air travel got cheap enough for the masses. Of course, as the rest of Greece, it has a long, often bloody and very rich history that is clearly visible all over the island.
Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport is a typical holiday airport. Off season it’s quiet with just a few flights every day while in the holiday season (and certainly on Monday and Friday) the airport is running at full capacity. The runway is built in a small bay and the approach from the south is spectacular as some of the best known landmarks are only a few hundred meters away. Though weather conditions are seldom a problem, wind can be an issue as it flows around and over the mountains that are close to the airport. In high summer turbulence can be severe close to the ground. As the runway has no ILS all approaches are visual and certain the VOR DME NDB approach to runway 35 is not easy.
LiVEinFSX did a remarkable job with the project and we are sure you will like it!

Support for this product is done by Aerosoft. We prefer to do support on the support forum for one simple reason, it is fast and efficient because customers help customers when we are sleeping.
Aerosoft forums: http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/
We feel strongly about support. Buying one of our products gives you the right to waste out time with questions you feel might be silly. They are not.
INST ALLAT ION A N D R EM OVAL
Installation is simple. Unzip the file that you downloaded and start the exe file you downloaded and follow the instructions on your screen. Make sure FSX (or FS2004) is closed and we do advise you to reboot your system before installing. Make sure you are logged on as Administrator on the machine! After installing it can help to defragment your hard disk. Do note that the files are personalized on installation. When you share them with others you also share personal details.
After installation has finished the Aerosoft Launcher will start and it will be installed (or updated). See Appendix A for a detailed explanation.
Removal should never be done manually but only using the software removal applet you will find the Windows Control panel.

CORF U X MANAGER
There are many elements of this scenery that you can toggle on/off. You can find the Corfu X Manager in the Windows Start Menu (Aerosoft | Corfu X) or you can start it via the Aerosoft Launcher. There is a graphic explanation in Appendix B.
RWY Specular Level: With specular effect on
the runway you will see the new FSX options that add water and sun effects to the runway. However, you can also choose to have the highest possible texture resolution that is not possible in combination with the aforementioned effects.
3D Grass: Although it looks real good, 3D grass will take up a lot of FPS so it is best left off on systems
that are not very powerful.
Apron Animation: Toggles all animations on the apron area. Can be left on unless you are running low
on FPS.
Parking Animation: Toggles all animations on the car park area. Can be left on unless you are running
low on FPS.
Plane Spotting: If you like to sit on the pier and watch the aircrafts land you can activate this option
and it will add sound effects to that location. Best to leave off if you are not plate spotting.
Sailboat Animation: Close to the threshold of runway 35 there is a small harbor. With this animation
activated, there will be sailing boats moving around.
Sea Animations: This animation will show small animated boats around the island and animated
docked boats. Normally you can leave this activated.
FINDI NG T H E A I R P ORT
You will find the airport using either the airport name (Ioannis Kapodistrias), the city name (Kerkira) or the airport ID (LGKR).
CHARTS
The Greek aviation authorities do not have all aviation related charts online but finding them is not hard using Google or another search engine. Just use ‘LGKR’ and ‘CHARTS’ as search terms.

DISP L A Y SETTINGS
In order to change your scenery settings, go to Settings -> Display. All settings that are important to see this scenery correctly are marked in red and need to be shown. All other settings are to your own liking.
GRAP H ICS MENU
We advise to keep Target frame rate set to Unlimited when your hardware is not very fast. If you see
your framerate wildly fluctuating and over 50 fps we advise you to limit the framerates to 40. This will allow FSX to calculate a few things in advance.
Global texture resolution has to be to Very high. As this project is easy on FPS you most likely will be able to activate Lens flare that adds some nice
sun effects.
