Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~

SW Florida Int'l Airport opened their new terminal on the South side of the airport on September 9th, 2005. It's a beautiful facility, and will hopefully alleviate some of the issues with the old terminal, which now sits vacant.

Since no one has tackled this project yet, I figured it needed to be done. This is not meant to be a be-all-end-all scenery. It's just a convenient fix until someone can do a more detailed version. It's not photoreal, and not in GMAX. It's just based on the default scenery, so it should be compatible with just about anything that isn't another RSW scenery.

This scenery is fully compatible with FreeFlow Florida.

What you will need
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FS2004 is required (obviously). This scenery utilizes the updated textures from FS2002/4, and so I can not say that it'll work at all in previous versions.

I am including Sheryar Ansari's Jetways package, as I used his jetways for this scenery.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scenery is very simple to install and use. The BEST method for
installing this scenery is:

1) Disable or Remove any previous RSW scenery to avoid any conflicts. (As far as I know, this scenery is NOT compatible with Chris Gilbert's RSW scenery, which uses a photo overlay of the ground).
2) Install the Jetways package by Sheryar Ansari per his instructions (if you already have this package installed, then skip this step).
3) Add the KRSW.bgl, KRSW_Exclude.bgl, and AF2_KRSW.bgl files to your ADDON SCENERY\Scenery folder.
4) Fly and enjoy!


What you'll see
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The new Midfield Terminal is to the south of the runway, and includes B,C, and D concourses. The AFCAD file is set up for aircraft to use the proper gates (if your system is set up that way). All the new taxiways are included and properly named.


Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the Landclass by Joe Watson and FreeFlow Florida is excellent, it does have some errors. One glaring error is putting RSW in the middle of an urban area. I am not good with creating LC files, so I simply excluded as much of the urban area as possible without excluding the airport itself. There is also a spot where a pond sits right under a taxiway. I have used a couple AFCAD polygons to cover it over.
