Based on aerial and ground photos. The main terminal and cargo area buildings were all replaced. GA parking apron and taxiway were modified to be more accurate. Missing taxiway B to R11 was added. All the usual goodies are included.
READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING!
INSTALLATION
This scenery is not self-installing because I have no idea how to do that. You will need to have some knowledge of FS9 scenery libraries in order to install it.
INSTALLING THE SCENERY FILES
The scenery consists of these files:
PAKT_SS_V1.bgl -- the main scenery file.
AF2_PAKT_SS_V1.bgl -- the afcad file that modifies some of the airport features.
pakt_SS_V1_execlude_X.BGL (there are two of these) -- files that remove some of the default scenery objects.
The easiest way to install the scenery is to put all these files in your FS9/Addon Scenery/Scenery folder. Or, if you know how to create and use FS scenery folders, you can put them in any active scenery folder of your choosing.
AFCAD FILES
AFCAD files define the runways, taxiways and other aspects of the airport that underlies this scenery. If you already have a MODIFIED--meaning not the original FS9--AFCAD file for PAKT you will have to remove or deactivate it before installing mine. You do not have to use the AFCAD file I've supplied, but the scenery will probably look odd without it.
INSTALLING THE OBJECT LIBRARIES
Object libraries provide the buildings, vehicles, fences, etc. that you see in this scenery. The scenery will not display unless you have these object libraries installed on your system. These objects were created by clever and talented people for the rest of us to share and use. We love them. Object libraries are "shared" by scenery files...YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO REINSTALL AN OBJECT LIBRARY THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE ON YOUR SYSTEM, AND DOING SO MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS.
1. The first library you should download and install is provided by Abacus, the makers of EZ-Scenery. This libary is self-installing. Download it here: http://www.abacuspub.com/pub/AbacusEZLibraries.exe
2. Now download from Avsim and install any of the following object libraries THAT YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM. Follow the installation instructions that come with the libraries.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT RWY12 OBJECT LIBRARIES
This scenery was created using EZ-Scenery by Abacus. RWY12 is a freeware program that also allows you to create scenery. EZ-Scenery can use object libraries made for RWY12. Some of the libraries you may download and install make reference to RWY12 or say they are for use with RWY12. This is OK. Please note:
1. You do not need to have the RWY12 program installed in order to use RWY12 object libraries with this scenery. If you do have the RWY12 program installed, it should not interfere with this scenery.
2. If you have the RWY12 program installed, install any RWY12 object libraries according to their instructions.
3. If you do NOT have the RWY12 program installed and have NOT installed scenery made using RWY12, you can ignore instructions regarding "RWY12 folder" and "xml file". You only need to intall the bgl and texture files in order to use RWY12 object libraries with this scenery.
TERMS OF USE
This scenery and the objects used to create it are FREEWARE and you may not charge anything for their use.
MANY THANKS......
To Microsoft for making the most fun computer program ever. To Abacus for EZ-Scenery which was used to create this scenery. To Lee Swordy for AFCAD. To the many kind and talented people who have provided us with scenery objects and the tools to use them.
