This scenery was made for the Interstate 7 race. It might not be too realistic as I have never been even close to this airport. But it does look good and was fun to build. I build only very detailed airports that cover only very small areas. Do not expect large land-masses, lakes and coastlines. It is however one of the densest airports I know. Framerates can be very low, even on fast computers. There is hardly any night effects in this scenery, fly it during the daytime only.
Install all textures in the texture dir, install all BGL files in the scenery dir. The textures are the same as used with all AIRPORT created files, so you might already have them installed, check this. You might consider making a new SDE_DOV dir for these files. You will have to use the Cdrom Africa scenery as background. If uou wnat the source code just gimme a message, you will get it. The
You will only have fun with this scnery if you set your scenery density to high and activate all dynamic scenery (max.). I hate airport that look like the day after all planes left for better places. This airport is filled with planes. The helicopter was stolen from Microsoft. it's was hidden in the O'hare airport in version 5.0 (can't find it now, btw, in version 5.1). To place it, Manfred adapted SCASM to make larger macro's possible. There is one flying object, a miljet pilot is getting some landings in his log book.
The scenery was started with AIRPORT 1.17 and ended with the above mentoined special version of SCASM. Bert Vierstra, buddy in scenery problems extraordinair, helped me with some of the problems.
I choose to build this airport because we needed some tough landings for the race. In low clouds, this is about as tough as it gets. The Cloud Break Procedure made with Final Approach v5.0 is delivered with the scenery, study it, set some clouds at 1000', give it a 6 mile viz and land. Remember you can only land if you get visual condition while flying outbound from HRZ. After landing taxi to the main terminal and enjoy the sights. It can be hard to manouver on this airport if you are used to the giant, desert-like, platforms you see in other scenery files. Hurt any of my planes and I will get angry.
As far as I know by now there will be no updates for this scenery file, I will start working on other projects now, this was purely for the race but it feels like a shame not to upload it.
Make any money with this file, sell it, put it on Cdrom, include it in commercial PD collections and my cat will bite you. It's freeware, as free as it gets. It can not be used for any commercial use in any way. I do have copyright on this material. You will have to have my written permission if you want to use my file for any commercial use. This will be vivible to all users by the fact there will be an additional file in the zip where I give my permission.
