Barton aerodrome is located in Eccles,Greater Manchester,and was the original Manchester
airport.It opened in january 1930 and many of the buildings,including the tower and the
main hangar date from this time.
The lancashire aero club,based at Barton, is the oldest civil flying club in the UK.
Enjoy the history,because if developers have their way it won't be there for much longer.

INSTALLATION:
sorry to all you experienced folks, but here goes...
1:create a folder in fs2002\addon scenery\ called BARTON

(eg C:\fs2002\addon scenery\barton\scenery) and click OK
done!

REQUIRES 'AIRPORT' TEXTURES TO BE INSTALLED TO SHOW CORRECTLY (aip210tx).
set scenery complexity to dense to see all detail.

COMPATABILITY:
this scenery is designed to work with VisualFlight's VFR vol4, Northern England.
a zip file of alternate textures for barton are included (VFR_tex.zip)
if you don't have this product,check out 'barton_aerial_VFR' screenshhot and see what
you're missing!
ignore barton high level bridge in the other screenshot...still working on that.

FLYING FROM:
choose 'go to airport' click 'search addon scenery' and you will see two entries for Barton.

FEATURES:
the texture files for this scenery were created from digital photos taken by myself at
the airfield,and as such provide a good representation of what you would see if you were
to go there (there is a visitor centre and museum on site...if you can,why not visit and
support the aerodrome)

EXTRA INFO:
the buildings were made using Easy Object Designer and the whole thing was put together
using the Airport for windows program.
this is my first scenery and the first version of Barton, and the scenery will continue
to be developed and hopefully improved in future releases.
