INSTALLATION:
Full package of this scenery includes 2 separate sceneries.
Pyrzowice - model of the Airport and EPPKTTMF - detailed scenery of the sorroundings.
You can find many objects helping you to follow during VFR flights. They are located in true to life locations and in most instancies also true to life scale and looks.
Try to fly scenery at night.

Pyrzowice scenery will need standard folders :Scenery and Teksture , EPKTTMF - only one folder Scenery (IMPORTANT! - no Texture folder needed here). Please unzip all files to appropriate folders.

********************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT !!!
In the folder TexturestobeaddedtoMainTextures are replacement textures for the Autogen trees and railwayx.bmp which is texture of the railway track. Without the latter the scenery EPKTTMF will not be working properly so do not forget to add it to your Main Texture Folder.
Replecement tree textures are not mandatory.
It is also highly recommended to use alternative road textures found in major net FS libraries under the names: Straneut.zip or Strabunt.zip. These in my opinion greatly enhance look of roads especially at night by adding tiny lights simulating traffic.
********************************************************************************************

SETTINGS:
Depending on processing power and graphic card of your computer following settings are most recommneded:

texture quality - maximum
texture size - high
scenery density - normal or higher
autogen density - extremly dense (very important !!!)
extended terrain texture - on
terrain detail textures - on

Above settings are necessary to have good and dense graphics of the scenery sorrounding the airport and really enjoy the scenry.
Rest of the settings up to ones liking and computer performance.
