This is my newest project, Jetways for KDAL (Dallas Love Field). Before you install this file please be aware that you need to have first installed the file "fs9jets.zip", available in the file library at either SurClaro.com or SurClaro
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE BEGINNING:
---------------------------------
When testing this project after completion, I noticed that some aircraft would try to take off from the non-default runway. This was not a result of my changing any of the runway settings in Afcad2. The aircraft in question would taxi to Runway 31R and just take off! There was no communication with ATC ground, the tower, or departure! I decided to close Runway 31R/13L in Afcad2 in order to avoid any unforseen problems. The aircraft taking off from and landing at Runway 13R/31L communicate with ATC just fine.
Also, the default FS2004 terminal did not provide ample space for the parking required, so it has been excluded and another one created in its place.
HOW DO I INSTALL THE SCENERY FILES?
-----------------------------------
Extract everything in this zip archive to a temporary folder, making sure that "Use Folder Names" is checked in the WinZip dialog box. There you will find a folder entitled "KDAL Scenery". Within this folder you will find the following files:
-----------------------------------------
AF2_DAL.bgl
KDAL Jetways.bgl
KDAL Jetways.xcl
KDAL_EX1.bgl
Move the following files to your FS9\Addon Scenery\PF FS2004 Jetways folder:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
KDAL Jetways.bgl
KDAL Jetways.xcl
KDAL_EX1.bgl
Move the following file to your FS9\Addon Scenery\Scenery folder:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AF2_DAL.bgl
If any other KDAL Afcad2 file is already in your FS9\Addon Scenery\Scenery folder you will need to either overwrite it or, if it is named differently, remove it.
That's all it takes! The next time you start FS9 you will see your new jetways at KDAL and your aircraft will be properly positioned at their gates.
WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS KDAL FLIGHT PLANS.TXT FILE I FOUND IN MY TEMPORARY FOLDER?

Open it up and you will find all of the information you need there.
