FS2004 SCENERY
OPDB Dalbandin, Pakistan
by John Hinson sim-support@sftt.co.uk
================================================
Googly scenery for OPDB Dalbandin, Pakistan - a quiet domestic airport for
which no operational facilities are provided in Flight Simulator 2004. These
scenery files add/correct the runways, apron, taxiways, buildings and other
airport features so that you and your "AI" traffic can land, taxi, park
and take off in a realistic manner.
The airport appears to be served all of once per week by ATRs of Pakistan
International Airways so will hardly buzz with activity, but you will be
assured of a friendly welcome when you arrive.
The scenery does not purport to be ultra-accurate. Based on high-detail satellite
imagery from Google Earth, the layout is proportionally correct but the added
airport features, such as buildings, are built from default Microsoft objects
and add-on libraries so will not look like the real thing.
You are not obliged to download and install any additional scenery libraries,
but to enjoy this scenery in its entirety, you may wish to. It will work fine,
with or without.
1. Basic installation - some airport objects, such as buildings, will
display as they use default Flights Simulator objects.
2. Standard libraries - I recommend downloading and installing the Abacus
EZ-Scenery and Rwy12 standard libraries as these will be effective in many other
sceneries too.

Rwy12 Library 1 (Seev Kahn & Israel Roth):

Rwy12 Library 2 (Seev Kahn & Israel Roth):
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004sd&DLID=71797
Rwy12 Library 3 (Seev Kahn & Israel Roth):

3. Additional libraries - some of the features in this scenery use the
following additional scenery object libraries.
FS9 Custom Buildings 1 for EZ-Scenery (Sidney Schwartz)

4. To enhance the appearance of Microsoft's default buildings and apron/taxiway
textures, you may wish to download and install Airport Environment Upgrade 7 but
please understand that the vastly improved quality of the textures may result
in slightly reduced performance on your system.

Please be aware that some scenery designers supply copies of parts of the above
libraries with their scenery distribution. This is pointless as it can lead to
duplicate files on your system but it can also cause objects to display in
uncoloured form if they only distributed textures relevant to their own scenery.
If you experience uncoloured scenery objects, this is probably the problem and
you will need to install the library concerned in its entirety to display them
correctly.
CREDITS
In addition to those mentioned above, I am grateful to the following for their free
contributions to Flight Simulator that have helped with the creation of this
scenery:

If I have failed to mention anybody, it is definitely not intentional!
INSTALLATION
Just put the various *.bgl files in your Flight Simulator's Addon Scenery\scenery
folder and the enhanced airport will be activated next time you
start Flight Simulator 2004.
To remove the scenery, just delete the same files and restart.
Enjoy!
