Beccles-EGSM 4nm ESE of Stowmarket, 5nm N of Ipswich
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A single concrete/grass runway 09/27
Beccles Radio 120.375


Beccles was at one time the helicopter terminal for tranporting manpower and stores to the North Sea Gas Field. For this reason the helicopters were placed by the old terminal at the request of Gerry Francis ( who commissioned this airfield scenery). They have no part today in the life of the present day airfield (as far as I know).

Note on Runways
-------------------------
As Beccles has a concrete/grass single runway I constructed it by overlaying two runways, one of each texture. Hence the 09/27 and the East/West runways. As regards usage, just ignore the East/West runway.


Note: This is designed to fit FSX generic scenery and will probably not match photo-realistic scenery especially as I have used some 'real' landclass objects for part of airfield.
'Tree' objects are more suited to Spring/Summer rather than Autumn/Winter operation.


To Install
-------------
Unzip files to a temporary folder if not already unzipped.
Copy the file Beccles_EGSM into the Addon Scenery folder.
Now, in FSX working screen, press to reveal top menu bar. Select 'World' then 'Scenery Library'.
Click on 'Add an Area', click 'Addon Scenery', click file required (in this case Beccles_EGSM) then click 'OK'. The chosen file should now be at top of list. Use Move Down button to put it below 'Addon Scenery' and also below 'Static Objects Library' if you happen to have it installed. Now click 'OK' to install the new data base and when FSX window re-opens, hopefully you should see the new scenery.

Note: Operating in Windows 7 requires a slightly different technique.See my 'Windows 7 Read_Me' text file.

Remove from scenery library list and delete folder to uninstall.
