ABOUT THE SCENERY:
Here I go again. I have know idea what the airport really looks like, but I couldn't resist doing it. It's all just for fun anyway. There are not too many pictures or information about the airports on the internet nowadays, especially since 9/11, and I guess it should be that way. Antway, I hope you enjoy this scenery. Created with FSDS2, you will need to donwload the following if you don't already have them: ASDv2.1, Nova, Nova Gold, (all downloadable from SurClaro), and NovaSim, (download from www.fsnova.com), textures. There is a textures I am including with this download called chevron.r8 simply because I am not sure where I got the texture from. It may have been the VOD texture series. the AFCAD2 file has been modified with parking designations. Only certain aircraft will park at a certain spot ie; a Baron 58 will park at parking space 1 if it's available. If you change the aircraft in the flight plans, you may have to change the parking designations in AFCAD2. There is an AI aircraft list below that was used in the scenery. As usual, you may have to adjust the AC#'s to suit the sequence of your list. For the people who have Lago's FSE 2004, I've included an eye candy file. I guess that covers it, have an enjoyable time.
