FS2004 A&F DATA
DATG In Guezzam, Algeria
by John Hinson sim-support@sftt.co.uk
=============================================
Googlyafcad A&F Data for DATG In Guezzam (ICAO: DATG, IATA: INF), a small
airport in the Sahara desert serving a small township of the same name close
to the border with Niger. There is a miltary presence for border protection
but little else other than poor quality single-storey housing. At present
the airport sees no civilian traffic.
Microsoft depict this airport as having a dirt strip but the runway and
ramp area have recently been resurfaced with dark asphalt or tarmacadam, and
this file corrects this. This file will allow you and your "AI" traffic to
land, taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner.
INSTALLATION:
Just put the *.bgl file into your Flight Simulator's
Addon Scenery\scenery folder and the enhanced airport layout will be
activated next time you start Flight Simulator 2004.
CREDITS:
I am grateful to Lee Swordy for his free AFCAD software, a major contribution to
Flight Simulator, without which this airport simulation could not have been
developed. However, this product is no longer developed and has now been
superseded by commercial software - I use both for my work.
Google must be thanked for making the satellite data so easily accessible.
For geographical information I use many books and internet references to supplement
my own knowledge. Wikipedia is an excellent source for many of these locations.
If I have failed to credit anybody, it is definitely not intentional.
COPYING AND DISTRIBITION:
I generally only upload files to AVSIM. However, they regularly appear on other
servers - something that I have no particular objection to as long as they are made
available free of any fees. However, it frustrates me to see my files wrongly described
on other sites and I would appreciate it if extracts of this readme file are used for
the description.
Enjoy!
