Background
==========
This is my first project in Flight Sim development.
There are three very good FS98 sceneries (and one for
FS2000)for Bombay/Mumbai on SurClaro however I have
tried to create an Airport which is as close to the real
one as possible. Namely, Correct Airlines at respective
terminals, Indian Airlines at Terminal 1A, Jet Airways at
1B and Airindia and Foreign Airlines at 2B and C.
Mumbai Airport is now known as CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ
Airport and is the busiest Airport in India.
This airport is a replacement for the default FS98
Bombay Airport which contains only two Runways.
============
Installation
============
(If this seems over simplified, please bear with me)
Create C:\Scenery\India\Mumbai folder
Unzip file Mumbai_v10.zip to above folder
Start FS98
Click on World->Scenery Library...
Click on OK
Click on Files...
Click on Add...
Enter in "Search area path" (without the quotes) "C:\Scenery\India\Mumbai\*.bgl"
Enter "Mumbai" in Scenery Area title
Select "Local" in Scenery Area type
Click to check Scenery Area Active
Set Scenery Arear layer to "0001"
Keep clicking Ok till you are back to Main FS98 Window
========================
To Select Mumbai Airport
========================
Click on World->Go to->Airport...
Select Scenery from 6.0 and before
Click on Ok
You should be on Rwy 27, ready for take off
==============
Known problems
==============
The scenery files have been tested in FS98 but not in FS2000
I think They should work in FS2000, feedback appreciated.
===========
Problem # 1
===========
I have created five bgl files.
1) For the Airport Runways, Taxiways, Terminals and Hangars
(MumV10.bgl & MumV_exc.bgl)
2) For AirIndia Aircaft (Airindia.bgl)
3) For Foreign Aircaft (foreign.bgl)
4) For Indian Airlines Aircraft (Iac.bgl)
5) For Jet Airways Aircraft Jetair.bgl
However when all BGL files are used, some Aircraft DISAPPEAR.
I suggest you use the following method.
To operate from the International Terminals, 2A,B & C,
Disable (by renaming) Iac.bgl and jetair.bgl
To operate from the Domestic Terminals, 1A & B,
Disable (by renaming) Airindia.bgl and foreign.bgl
Bombay is a busy Airport with lots of Airplanes at any given
hour of the day or night. I'd love to have all aircraft being
displayed at the same time. If someone knows how to fix this
problem, I'll be glad to hear from you.
I understand. This is due to the limitation on the file size
of the bgl file.
===========
Problem # 2
===========
You can't select Rwys 9, 14 and 32 from the scenery menu. I
don't know how to enable all the Rwys.
This is not much of a problem as Rwy27 is the preffered
runway in real life. Although Rwy14 is used at times.
In Future versions I'll try and incorporate Gates, more Foreign
Airlines, general Aviation Aircraft and Dynamic Aircraft.
