FS2004 SCENERY
VABP Bhopal/Bairagarh, India
by John Hinson sim-support@sftt.co.uk
================================================
Googly scenery for VABP Bhopal/Bairagarh, India - an enhancement to the
airport provided in Flight Simulator 2004 which is incorrect in many respects.
These scenery files enlarge the apron to a realistic size to accept scheduled
traffic, remove spurious taxiways (they were actually perimeter tracks!), and
add buildings and other airport features so that you and your "AI" traffic
can land, taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner.
This small domestic airport is served by Boeing and Airbus jets of Indian
Airlines and Jet Airways together with local flights operated by ATRs of Air
Deccan.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.
1. Basic installation - some airport objects, such as buildings, will
display as they use default Flights Simulator objects.
2. Standard libraries - I recommend downloading and installing the Abacus
EZ-Scenery and Rwy12 standard libraries as these will be effective in many other
sceneries too.
Abacus EZ-Scenery EZ-Libraries:

Rwy12 Library 1 (Seev Kahn & Israel Roth):
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004sd&DLID=71795
Rwy12 Library 2 (Seev Kahn & Israel Roth):
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004sd&DLID=71797
Rwy12 Library 3 (Seev Kahn & Israel Roth):
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004sd&DLID=71797
3. Additional libraries - some of the features in this scenery use the
following additional scenery object libraries.
EZhangers for Abacus EZ-Scenery (Dennis Waggoner)

ESDG Ramp Lights - Rwy12 (Bill Leaming)

4. To enhance the appearance of Microsoft's default buildings and apron/taxiway
textures, you may wish to download and install Airport Environment Upgrade 7 but
please understand that the vastly improved quality of the textures may result
in slightly reduced performance on your system.

Please be aware that some scenery designers supply copies of parts of the above
libraries with their scenery distribution. This is pointless as it can lead to
duplicate files on your system but it can also cause objects to display in
uncoloured form if they only distributed textures relevant to their own scenery.
If you experience uncoloured scenery objects, this is probably the problem and
you will need to install the library concerned in its entirety to display them
correctly.
CREDITS
In addition to those mentioned above, I am grateful to the following for their free
contributions to Flight Simulator that have helped with the creation of this
scenery:

If I have failed to mention anybody, it is definitely not intentional!
INSTALLATION
Just put the various *.bgl files in your Flight Simulator's Addon Scenery\scenery
folder and the enhanced airport will be activated next time you
start Flight Simulator 2004.
To remove the scenery, just delete the same files and restart.
Enjoy!
