FS2004 SCENERY
VGEG Chittagong/Shah Amanat International, Bangladesh
by John Hinson sim-support@sftt.co.uk
================================================
Googly scenery for VGEG Chittagong/Shah Amanat International (known as M A
Hannan until 2005)- an important airport in Bangladesh that is poorly provided
for in Flight Simulator 2004. These scenery files add taxiways, aprons,
buildings and other airport features, including the military area at the north
end and the general aviation ramps, so that you and your "AI" traffic can land,
taxi, park and take off in a realistic manner.
The city of Chittagong and its port are served regularly by jets ranging in size
from the Fokker 28 to the Douglas DC10 from operators like Air Arabia, Air Asia,
Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Oman Air, Thai Airways International, and turboprops of
GMG Airlines, United Airways and Zoom Airways.
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.
Abacus EZ-Scenery EZ-Libraries:

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):
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004sd&DLID=71797
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)

ESDG Ramp Lights - Rwy12 (Bill Leaming)

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:
Lee Swordy (AFCAD software)
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!
