***** FSE Scenery by Sidney Schwartz ******

PAKT Ketchikan, Alaska
This file contains scenery created for FS2004 using Lago's FSE program. You must have FSE and the FSE Exchange Module installed on your computer in order to use it.
Usage
-----
This scenery is freeware and must remain so. Feel free to modify it to suit your own tastes...that's what FSE is all about. If you distribute a modified version my scenery you must include this original readme file with it. The rights to any custom objects included here belong to the designers of those objects.
Description
-----------
Based on photos and charts. All major buildings replaced. The terminal building and tower are now more like the real thing. The taxiways have been fixed to be more accurate. The floatplane dock was modeled on the one at the real PAKT. For use with or without Ultimate Terrain (read the instructions!).
What's in here?
----------------------
This zip file contains some or all of the following types of scenery enhancement files for FS2004:
1. SE2 files. These are the main scenery files, created by Lago's FSE program.
2. IMO files. These are custom objects for use with FSE. Custom objects are not included with FSE, they are created by object designers and imported by the user into FSE with the FSE Exchange Module. If you do not have the custom objects used in this scenery (or import them) the scenery will not appear correctly. You may already have some or all of these objects installed. Please be sure to read the installation instructions below.
3. AFCAD files. These are used to create the runways, taxiways, aprons, etc. that underlay the airport scenery. An AFCAD file has a bgl extension and will typically contain the airport designator preceded by AF2, for example af2_klax.bgl.
4. Exclude files. These are used to removed default FS scenery objects like buildings and trees so they will not interfere with the new scenery. An exclude file has a .bgl extension. The exclude files I create will have the word "execlude" in them, for example klax_execlude.bgl.
Installation
------------
These instructions are not meant to replace the FSE and Exchange Module documentation. FS2004 should NOT be running when you are installing these files.
1. Unzip everything into a temporary folder.
2. SE2 files. Put these in your Flight Simulator 9/Lago/FSE/Data folder. Please note: if you already have FSE scenery installed for this airport (your own or someone else's), you must disable it before using this scenery. SE2 files can be disabled by changing the file name extension to something other than SE2, for example change KLAX.SE2 to KLAX.SE2.BAK.
*************
IMPORTANT: Install file 3B9BB808_pakt_2_ut.SE2 if you are using Flight 1's Ultimate Terrain for Canada and Alaska. Otherwise install file 3B9BB808_pakt_2_df.SE2. 3B9BB808_pakt.SE2 should be installed by everyone.
*************
3. IMO files. Put these in your Flight Simulator 9/Lago/FSE/Import folder and follow the steps in the Exchange Module documentation. IMPORTANT: The Exchange Module will NOT prevent you from importing an object that you have previously imported. You can easily end up with duplicate objects showing up in your FSE objects list. This should not prevent the scenery from working but it is a bit of a nuisance. I recommend that you compare the ID numbers of the objects included here with the ID numbers of the objects you have already imported and then IMPORT ONLY THE OBJECTS YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE. To see which objects you have already imported, look in your Flight Simulator 9/Lago/FSE/Archive folder. Every time you import and object using the Exchange Module, a copy of the IMO file is placed in the Archive folder.
4. AFCAD and Exclude files. If you know how to create your own scenery folders in FS2004 you can do that, otherwise just put them in your Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery/Scenery folder. IMPORTANT: If you already have an AFCAD file installed for this airport, you must disable it before installing my AFCAD file. AFCAD files are generally installed in the Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery/Scenery folder, but they may also be installed in other scenery folders. AFCAD files can be disabled by changing the file name extension to something other than bgl, for example change AF2_KLAX.BGL to AF2_KLAX.BGL.BAK.
That should do it. The next time you run FS2004 you should see your new scenery.
