LGAT 1.0 - Athens Int'l * July, 19th 1999

BY Fred DUSSURGET

Thank you for having download this 1.5 meters/Pixel photorealistic
scenery of Athens International Airport - LGAT.

It covers a flat area of 4.5x3 kms : the Int'l Airport of Athens (LGAT).

Hand made colorizing - The hardest work I think.

My source bitmap is taken from TerraServer (sputnik pics).
I used Terra Builder Lite 1.5 and obviously SCASM.

Starting Pos : Runway 33R

Known bugs :
************

-Colors at dawn and dusk. (I swear I'm gonna fix it soon !)

-You may have bleed thru effects with your own macros.
The runways from Greece 2.70 can disappear. The solution is in the "For experts part".

-Palette is different than my other photorealistic Athens 1.0. I'm still working on it ...

For experts :
*************
By default, the *.sca file uses PerspectiveCall and Ref Point 7.
It's better to replace them by PerspectiveCall2 and RefPoint type 2 !!!
I set it this way ONLY because of compatibility reasons !
The *.sca file is included.

If you ever have ideas for the palette bugs and sharping more the scenery, just tell me !

Installation :
**************

1 - In your fs98/scenery folder, create a new folder called "LGAT" and
two subfolders called "Scenery" and "Texture".

2 - Unzip first main.zip.

This file conatains :
A snapshot of the scenery : shot.jpg
Athens.sca file, if you want to recompile the *.bgl file.
Athens.bgl, the scenery file.

Move this file to "fs98\scenery\LGAT\Scenery" folder.

3 - Unzip Text1.zip, Text2.zip, Text3.zip in your
"fs98\scenery\LGAT\Texture" folder.

4 - In fs98, goto World/Scenery Library/Files/Add.
In the field "Scenery Area Path" enter :
"the path where you installed fs98\scenery\LGAT\scenery\*.bgl"

example : e:\games\fs98\scenery\LGAT\scenery\*.bgl

In the second field, enter "Athens Int'l" for instance ...

In the Third field (Area Type), enter : local.

DON'T forget to click on "Scenery Area Active"

5 - That's all !!!
