Aerosoft Iceland X 1.00 Manual
Introduction
Iceland is one of the most fascinating places in the world. With FSX being able to render landscape
much better than any other simulator before, we decided it is time to finally develop a product
dedicated to this unique island.
This add-on covers the whole island with thousands of lakes and rivers, mountains and fjords, glaciers and lava fields, big cities and tiny villages, waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, islands, roads, bridges, landmarks – and of course more than 40 airports around the island.
In cooperation with the Icelandic FlightSim community we created the best Iceland add-on ever
and hope that you will enjoy this add-on as much as we did developing it. If you do like it, there's
no question where your next (real-world) holiday destination should be: the land of Ice and Fire!

Contact support
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.
Installation and removal
Installation is simple. Start the exe file you downloaded and follow the instructions on your screen.
Make sure FSX 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.
Removal should never be done manually but only using the software removal applet you will find
the Windows Control panel.
General
Iceland is one of the
most incredible places
in the world. Its unique
landscape and breathtaking beauty, gigantic
glaciers, huge number
of rivers, waterfalls,
lakes, geysers, hot
spots and active volcanoes, this island in the
Atlantic Ocean is like a
time-journey through
the earth's ages. With
around 320,000 inhabitants (60% of them
living in the Reykjavik metropolitan area) and a total surface of more than 100,000 square kilometers, the majority of Iceland is rough, untouched nature.
About half of Iceland's land area, which is of recent volcanic origin, consists of a mountainous lava
desert and other wasteland, while eleven percent is covered by the large glaciers which you can all
find in this addon: (graded, biggest first): Vatnajökull, Langjökull, Hofsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Drangajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Snæfellsjökull.
