Billund Airport for FS2000
BETA
by Ole Egholm




…with thanks to Kristoffer Sundberg, Carl Poul Brager and Morten Aalberg

Try if you have WinAmp and want to listen to a great instrumental song, which some flightsimmers may remember back from the good old days of the A320 Airbus game for Amiga…


-------------- FEATURES ---------------

1. A more realistic runway,
With custom made lines,
which fits into the
landscape, and look better
than default runways.

2. Photorealistic ground textures.

3. A very realistc apron, covered with tile, each measuring 5 x 5 meters. The marshallers use them for guidence when planning how to squeeze all the 737s together on the apron. (An A320 should be able to turn using 12 tiles = 60m!)

4. signs - Night lighted

5.All buildings photorealistic. The buildings around the apron and at the Gulf area (along taxiway G) are all included, very detailed, and lighted at night. This area also has improved ground texture. So now there’s no excuse for not signing up with Sun Air VA, this airline uses the Sun Air buildings and hangars.

6. All taxi-lines, holdings and apron guidelines

7. Compatibility with my danish
replacement-textures, and other
sceneries




Installation:

REMEMBER TO TURN GROUND SHADOWS OFF!
It’s in the display settings menu in FS2000


1. Unzip this archive to your FS2000 scenery folder, remembering to enable “use folder names” if using Win Zip.

2. Run FS2000 and activate the scenery.

3. After installation, exit FS and add the Exclude ang Flatten lines of the following to the section conserning EKBI in scenery.cfg:

[Area.081]
Title=Billund
Local=SCENERY\billund\scenery
Active=TRUE
Layer=81
Exclude=N55 45,E9 7.00,N55 44,E9 12,All
Flatten.0=247,N55 45,E009 06,N55 45,E009 13,N55 43,E009 13,N55 43,E009 06

4. Copy the startup situations from the Ekbiv2b\ Pilots folder to the FS2000\Pilots – folder. The situation named “Billund – B737 stand 2” will place the tower view at the point in the domestic terminal from which there is a view over the apron.




Scenery info

I get fairly good framerates with this scenery. They are 20-25 fps on a 700 Mhz Duron CPU with Nvidia TNT2 32 MB 3d-card and 320 Mb RAM.

I’ve made several complexity levels, so if you get bad framerates, try setting a lower complexity level (eg. Normal or Sparse). It is strongly recommended to set a low complexity level when using Fs Traffic tracks or just placing static planes, since literally no computer confliguration will be fast enough to produce satisfying frame rates with more than 3-4 active objects and a high complexity level!

This is version 2.0, the final version (perhaps I’ll make a minor update if necessary), with updated, complex ground texture, buildings and the new terminal.
Check my homepage for future releases.

I recommend you use this scenery with my Danish replacement-texture set, available for d/l af my homepage. See the difference below:

Credits

I made this scenery with Airport 2.60 build 106 and TerraBuilder Lite V1.93, thanks to the people who makes these programmes. They are great tools! Also Thanks to Manfred Moldenhauer for the Scasm compiler! Thanks to the BETA-testers mentioned in the beginning of this doc.
I do not know the author of the A320 theme, but thank you for a great piece og music anyway!!!
A BIG thank you to Johnny Andersson for bitmaps of signs.
