ABOUT THE SCENERY:
Again, because FS2k2 doesn't support ATC for uncontrolled airports, I was forced to depart from real life and make Princeton a controlled facility. Using AFCAD by Lee Swordy, I added the necessary communication frequencies and the taxiway designations. The scenery objects were created with Abacus' Airport and Scenery Designer v2.1 and Flight Simulator Scenery Designer v2. You will need to download the ASDv2.1 textures and place them into the main FS2k2 texture folder if you don't already have them. Using Lee Swordy's Traffic Tools, I created flight plans for departing and arriving AI traffic. All of the aircraft are default aircraft, so there are no third party aircraft to download for this scenery. I have included an image of the real airport and an image of the fs2k2 scenery. You can compare the two. I went for as much detail and accuracy as I could with the scenery objects I had at my disposal. Microsoft has runway 10 as the approach runway, however, the real life approach is to runway 28. This scenery will use the real life approach. I have also included a .FLT file so you can go directly to Princeton Airport from your saved flights menu.

INSTALLATION:
Step 1: Unzip contents of downloaded zip file to a temporary folder.
Step 2: Read this readme file. (Hope that's what you're doing now.)
Step 3: Selecting the "Use stored folder" box, unzip the 39n_scenery.zip file to the drive where you have installed FS2k2. That will create the folders fs2k2_scenery\Princeton\scenery and place the .bgl files in the scenery folder.
Step 4: Using the cut and paste or the copy and paste method, place the following files into the following folders. NJ - Princeton Airport Rwy 28.FLT goes into the myflts folder
located under the main FS2k2 folder/flights. 39N_FLTPLNS.txt goes into the Traffic Tools text files which should be located on your desktop (After you have installed TTools and have run TDecompiler). Run TCompiler, then TDecompiler.
Step 5: Run AFCAD and open Princeton Airport (39n). Click on File on the menu bar, and export the airport to a folder to save the original airport file (Create a folder called Original AFCAD files and export the original files there). Now import the 39N1 from the download into AFCAD and save. Overwrite the original, you have it in another folder when you exported it earlier.
Step 6: Start FS2k2 and go to yur saved flights menu. Select NJ - Princeton......... then go to the menu bar and select world/scenery library. Select 'add area' find the folder fs2k2_scenery\Princeton then click 'ok'. Click 'ok' again. The new scenery should load at this time.
If the flight plans are correctly installed and compiled in TTools, and the airport is successfully imported into AFCAD, the AI traffic and ATC should start in about 20 seconds after the scenery loads. Enjoy.
