Gliders V1.1 for FS2002

by Harald Kraft
July 2003


Introduction:
-----------------

This file contains following API's for AirportForWindows:
6 cars, 5 trailers for gliders, 4 aircraft (Katana, Dimona, DG800), seasonal grass textures to replace grass.R8

All objects are custom made. For the objects I use ZMODELER, MAKEMDL, MSPaint and DXTBMP. All textures are made from digital photographs.

All these objects are also available for FlyII (look at AVSIM)

Glider for FS2002 features
------------------------------------------------------------

* custom 3D models
* photo realistic textures
* shadows
* crashcode
* ressourcepictures for AirportForWindows

V1.1
* 3D Models have recalculated normals for brighter colors
* All Aircraft are only visibly during daytime. If you want to see them 24 hours a day, remove the following line from the API:
IfVarRange( : 028C 1 1 ) ;Tageszeit nur am Tag zeichnen

Installation
---------------

1.) unzip the GlidersV1.1.ZIP-file into your AirportForWindows root directory.
2.) This adds an subfolder "USERAPI" to your AirportForWindows - Folder, containing the API's and an subfolder "TEXTURE" , containing all the textures.
3.) The ressourepictures are copied to the "RESOURCE"-subfolder
4.) Copy all textures to the TEXTURE-subdirectory of your sceneryproject in FS2002.

ATTENTION!!!!!!!! To use the API's KATANA, DIMONA, DIMONA, DG800 and HAENG4 you need to set the SCASM-Linebuffer to 48000 using the -LB-Parameter

Example: SCASM myfile.SCA myfile.BGL -LB 48000

If you have my Stockerau-scenery, also copy the textures grass, grass_WI, grass_FA and grass_SP to your FS2002\ADDON\SCENERY\STOCKERAU\TEXTURE-Folder. Now the airport blends better into the default FS-Scenery.

As long as they are freeware, feel free to make any repaints you want of my API's and distribute them.
