Grafton District Airport (YGFN) - (For 2002 only)
*******************************
A delighful small airport approximately 80 nautical miles from Coffs Harbour and a slightly shorter distance to Ballina and Lismore. This makes a good stopover for hopping down the east coast of Australia.
Originally released for FS2004 (and is better in 2004) but adds realism to FS2002 default airport.
The size of the airport has allowed me to put in that extra detail which makes to terminal and surrounds very much "as in real life". Photographic textures are used throughout for the buildings and even the trees are hand made macros from photographs at the airport.
AFCAD file is included to add AI traffic. For that reason and because of limited apron space no static planes have been used. You should obtain Traffic Tools to add more AI traffic to give the airport a little more life.
The scenery concentrates on adding a realistic terminal to the airport whilst leaving much of the default runway detail unchanged.
Installation
************
1) Move the unzipped Grafton folder to wherever you place your add-on scenery - perhaps in the FS2002 Add-on folder or as in my case to a folder called New Scenery in the main FS2002 directory.
2) Start up FS2002 and use settings/scenery library to add the scenery into the library.
3) The AFCAD file adds a start point near the terminal and you can select this at the time you select Grafton from the main menu.
4) Refer to AFCAD documentation to install the afcad file YGFN.txt.

A big thanks to Steve Feigenwinter who wrote a little patch to make this FS2004 scenery work in FS2002 and also wrote an AFCAD file modified by myself.
As always none if this would be possible without the brilliant designers of Airport for Windows -Pascal Meziat, Brian McWilliams and Tom Hiscox.
All macros except below where developed using Rafael Garcia Sanchez's Nova with textures mainly my own.
Martin Wright's BMP2000 did it's usual great work on tranparency textures.
A quick thankyou to H Enos (fuel tank) and Harald Kraft (cars) whose macros slotted in very nicely in the scenery.
