*** Albany, New York, USA Downtown Buildings ***
By Ed 'Geneer' Cox (N180GS)
Version 1.0 - June. 05, 2008 (albdtnv1.zip)
* turn wordwrap ON *
A re-make of the Albany, New York, USA - Downtown area, propperly representing the actual Albany skyline. Photoreal textures for all buildings remade, including night textures. Obviously, SOME liberty taken with building design for lack of actual specs and framerates. Appologies for those more particular than myself. Real placement, textures, and hights used where information available. Again, a couple buildings are flawed and/or needed alot more accurate detail, but due to frames and lack of photos, liberties were taken.

Requirements:
None...

Installation:
Place both folders in the unzipped 'Addon Scenery' folder into your FS9 'Addon Scenery' folder, and activate both seperately in your scenery library. Make sure you move the 'Landclass' folder down in the list under any object folders. A good place to move it above the photo scenery and below the object library files. If your still not sure, just make sure its below ANY of your addon scenery you have placed in, including the albany folder. For those with an already structured general landclass folder, just place the landclass *.bgl file in your general landclass folder with your other landclass files, OR if you have landclass for the USA, and you prefer, place this ladclass folder ABOVE your general landclass folder in scenery library.
*Optional*
Place the two effects in unzipped 'effects' folder in your main FS9 'effects' folder, and overwrite, backup old files if preferred. These are the same files with cockpit and vccocpit activated as well as the other views active in effect file. Small mod of both default files.
Thats it.
Enjoy!!!
