This is my newest project, Jetways for KHOU (William P. Hobby Airport in Houston TX). Before you install this file please be aware that you must have first installed the file "FS9JETS.ZIP", available in the file library at either SurClaro.com or SurClaro

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE BEGINNING:
---------------------------------
Once again, the default terminal was not nearly ample in size for the amount of parking required, so it has been excluded and a new one created in its place. You may also notice that there is a large amount of parking for Southwest Airlines. Well, according to the diagram I worked from, there are 31 gates at the airport. Since Southwest Airlines is the major carrier here, I went ahead and made lots of Afcad parking for Southwest. Also, I just made some generic parking for GA aircraft. You are welcome to create your own GA flight plans if you would like. I did not include any in my custom flight plans.

OK, let's get on with the installation!

HOW DO I INSTALL THESE 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 "KHOU Scenery". Within this folder you will find the following files:
-----------------------------------------
AF2_KHOU.bgl
KHOU Jetways.bgl
KHOU Jetways.xcl
KHOU_EX1.bgl

Move the following files to your FS9\Addon Scenery\PF FS2004 Jetways folder:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
KHOU Jetways.bgl
KHOU Jetways.xcl
KHOU_EX1.bgl

Move the following file to your FS9\Addon Scenery\Scenery folder:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AF2_KHOU.bgl

If any other KHOU Afcad2 file already resides 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 KHOU and your aircraft will be properly positioned at their gates.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS KHOU FLIGHT PLANS.TXT FILE I FOUND IN MY TEMPORARY FOLDER?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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