ABOUT THE SCENERY:
This is an update for Billings Logan International for FS2004. The FS2002 issues have been fixed. I found no issues on my system in FS2004.
Billings Logan International Airport was one of the airports I landed at for a stopover on my way to Seattle back in 1964. That was actually my second flight. (The first being from Augusta to O'Hare that same year.) Those were the days before jetways were in use. Thinking of those days, I decided to do a modern day Billings Logan.
This scenery was done totally with FSDS2. You will need ASDv2.1, Nova and Nova Gold textures. Traffic Tools v2 are a must as well as AFCAD2. Happy Flying!

NON-DEFAULT AIRCRAFT:
The following are the non-default I used in the AI flight plans. Remember to adjust your AC# in the aircraft text file in TTools as they may be different from mine.
AC#131----Airbus A320-200 America West-------------------320amwv1.zip
AC#125----Bombardier CRJ200-LR Skywest-------------------crj6sk22.zip
AC#122----DC-9-50 Northwest------------------------------aiad95nw.zip
Unzip the file kbil_04 to the drive where your FS is located. Using notepad, cut and paste the content of KBILFLTPLN.txt to the flight plans text of Traffic Tools v2 and run the compile and decompile in that order. If your FS is not on drive C, then you will have to manually place the FLT and WX files in the My Documents/Flight Simulator Files folder into the same folder located on drive C.
The start-up aircraft is the Bombardier CRJ-200LR in Skywest Livery. Download the file crj6sk22.zip from SurClaro. The start-up aircraft is the same aircraft I used for one of the AI planes.
Start FS. Select SETTINGS, then Scenery Library. Click on ADD AREA. Find fs2k4_scenery and open the KBIL folder located under it. Click OK and then close FS. Now start FS again. Click on Select a flight. Under MY SAVED FLIGHTS, double click on MT - Billings Logan Intl. Happy flying!
All the third party developers out there who let scenery designers like me take advantage of all their hard work and enthusiasm.
