KLAS for FS9 (FS2004/ACOF) Scenery/airport enhancement pack, version 1.0

Thank you for downloading my first design using ADE9! I spent many hours learning the program and creating as much detail as I was comfortable with, while keeping the design "simple" and frame-rate friendly.

==========================

Quick install:

Unzip contents into a temporary directory.

Copy the file KLAS_ver1_CM.BGL.

Paste the .BGL file into your FS Addon Scenery/Scenery folder.

Start FS and enjoy! (There is NO NEED to activate any scenery from within FS - it will be activated automatically)



For additional/optional installations, see below:

===========================
Ramp lighting (requires RWY12):


To utilize the lighting on the new concourse buildings ("D" Terminal) and cargo facility buildings, you MUST have the RWY12 object libraries installed.

IF you have RWY12 installed and wish to add the lighting,
copy the file klas1.BGL in addition to the other .BGL file.

Paste the klas1.BGL file into your FS Addon Scenery/Scenery folder , along with the first .BGL file you copied.

Start FS and enjoy! (There is NO NEED to activate any scenery from within FS - it will be activated automatically)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Gate Markings:


To utilize the gate markings (painted stripes on the ground at each gate to help ground crews with safety and aligning/stopping the aircraft), you MUST install Sidney Schwartz' "gate_markings_ss_v2p" file!

Follow the installation directions contained within the download.

Once the gate markins object file has been installed, use the " _paint1_ " .bgl file. Paste the .bgl file into your FS9 Addon Scenery/Scenery folder.

BE SURE YOU ARE USING *EITHER* the "_ver1_" or "_paint1_" .bgl files to avoid conflicts!!!

Start FS and enjoy! (There is NO NEED to activate any scenery from within FS - it will be activated automatically)

Scenery Complexity Settings

In order to keep this package as FPS-friendly as possible, you have the following options:

For slower computers that struggle with FPS, install only the "_ver1_" bgl file.

For computers with at least 4mb RAM and at least a 512mb Video Card (a minimum of a dual-core processor is recommended), you can install the "_paint1_" bgl and the "klas1" bgl files for the gate markings as well as the light poles.

The "_ver1_" bgl is designed to have Ground Service Vehicles displayed when your "Scenery Complexity" is set to DENSE. The Jetways will be displayed at "EXTREMELY DENSE". Autogen complexity and Dynamic Scenery Complexity settings will not affect this scenery package.

It is assumed that if you install the "_paint1_" bgl and "klas1" bgl, your computer can handle the additional graphics load, so everything is set to display with a Scenery Complexity of EXTREMELY DENSE.

You should experiment to find optimal settings for your particular computer configuration and what FPS is acceptable for you.

For detailed information on all features and installation options, consult the included KLASver1.pdf file.
