ABOUT THE SCENERY:

I was looking for a nice regional type airport in the Chicago area and thought Waukegan would be a good one to do. Turned out that if took me longer than usual to complete. Partly because of summer vacation and partly because I find that I can no longer sit in front of the computer for long periods of time. Hence, my future sceneries will probably take longer to complete from start to finish.

Again I added dynamic fuel trucks. Right now, there is no way I can sync the trucks and the ai-aircraft, so there may be some collisions. (Basically, you'll see trucks drive through ai-aircraft). All of the airliners have assigned gates. The general aircraft population also hace assigned parking areas. There are some unassigned parking areas for your use if you add more ai aircraft.

This scenery contains quite a few aircraft of which there is a list below. Some of the ai models are old, but they still work well. However, if you wish, you can use an updated ai model.

I did not render the terminal as it is in real life. I somehow got this idea that scenery design is just that, design and not copy. To that end, I created a fictional terminal. It's located in the correct position, it just looks different. The rest of the buildings are your stereotypical hangars and fbo's. I hope you enjoy this one. Happy landings!

Those who followed real life and took out Meigs. This may be a nice substitute. Those, like me, who didn't take out Meigs, this extends the Illinois flying adventure.

INSTALLATION:

Author's Note:

After receiving many emails, I find that I am a little off the beaten path. My FS file structure is not the default setup. So as you read these instructions, keep in mind that most of the files will work from anywhere as long as FS knows where they are. If your file structure is C:\Programs Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\ it's ok. Just place or check to verify that certain files are in certain folders. I will refer to the above structure as the DEFAULT FILE STRUCTURE, and the following file structure as MY FILE STRUCTURE. Which is: D:\fs2004\ and my scenery files are in D:\fs2k4_scenery\.
I have it this way because I've also done scenery for fs2002 and I didn't want to get the two versions mixed up. (Bet'cha can't guess what the folder name for the fs2002 scenery is). So in explaining where the files go, I'll try not to confuse anyone, but if I do, please contact me for clarification.

AFTER UNZIPPING THE FILE kugn_v1.ZIP TO A TEMPORARY FOLDER, HOPEFULLY, YOU ARE READING THIS README FILE.

If you don't have them already, download Lee Swordy's Traffic Tools v2x and AFCAD2x. Follow the instructions from the files and install them onto your system. While you're at it, download the texture files necessary for this scenery and put them into the main FS texture folder. They are: ASDv2.1, Nova, Nova Gold and NovaSim textures, plus my own custom textures. All are available for free at my website, www.lfssd.net (the "l" is an L, not a one). You also should download Rwy12 objects/textures. You don't need the complete Rwy12 program. (See the Rwy12 open letter on SurClaro or SurClaro.com)

Using the folders switch, unzip the file kugnscen.zip to the drive where you have your FS. Using your file manager (Windows Explorer) check to make sure that all the files are in their proper folder.

C:\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files should have the .FLT and .WX files (This is for the Windows XP users.) For all other OS the .FLT and .WX files are under the main FS folder in myflts. (I think)
Drive:\FS9 folder\Addon Scenery\scenery should have AF2_*.bgl (Refer to Default file structure if different)
Drive:\FS9 folder\Scenery\World\scenery should have TrafficWaukegan.bgl
Drive:\fs2k4_scenery or Addon Scenery folder\KUGN\scenery should have the kugn_*.bgl scenery files (The KUGN folder can also go under the Addon Scenery folder if you wish)
Drive:\FS9 folder\Texture should have the following textures:
The ASDv2.1, Nova, NovaGold and NovaSim texture sets
If you have Lago's FSE 2004, then check the following:
Drive:\FS9 folder\Lago\FSE\Data\should have Waukegan.SE2 for static scenery and
Drive:\FS9 folder\Lago\Common\Tracks\should have Waukegan.OSC For dynamic scenery

I added textures for this scenery to the texture folder under the scenery folder (KUGN\texture). You can move them to the main FS texture folder. If it asks you if you want to overwrite you already have them and you can delete these if you wish.

Activating the scenery in FS9:

1. Start FS
2. At the Menu, select Settings
3. Then select Scenery Library
4. Select Add Area
5. Go to where you have the scenery folder in the file structure and just open the scenery name folder ie; (KUGN) Then click OK
6. Set the priority using the "D" Key or the Move Down button or the "U" Key or the Move Up Button
7. Click OK
8. Close FS and re-start
9. At the menu select "Select a Flight"
10. Scroll down to your flight, hightlight and click FLY NOW
You're at the airport of your choice. Go fly.

You should be ready to fly. Happy landings!
