Aircraft and Scenery Designer*
Scenery Files
East Central - Volume 1
-----Introduction-----
This file archive contains scenery files in Volume 1 of my East Central
scenery collection. (This, by the way, does imply that there will be future
releases in both the East Central region and across the country). Located in
this archive should be the following files:
CHAMPAIGN.SCN CHAMPAIGN.DYN CHICAGO.SCN
CHICAGO.DYN DANVILLE.SCN DANVILLE.DYN
DANVILLE.MOD MOLINE.SCN MOLINE.DYN
PEORIA.SCN PEORIA.DYN PEORIA.MOD
README.1ST README.2ND (this file)
If any of these files are missing or damaged, you may write me at my
permanent address, and for the cost of registration ($5) plus $2 shipping and
handling and a floppy disk, I will send you the archive. The address to write
to is:
John Mechalas
2830 Townway Rd.
Danville, IL 61832
You can also contact me via E-Mail at the following internet address:
mechalas@gn.ecn.purdue.edu
This address will be valid until the summer of '94, upon which I will
graduate. My home/permanent address will be valid indefinitely.
-----Scenery Coverage-----
This archive contains both static and dynamic detailing for the airports/
cities listed below. All files were designed to be overlaid on subLOGIC
Scenery Disk 9**, with the exception of the Chicago scenery file. This file
was designed to be used with the Flight Simulator*** default scenery.
Scenery Area Airports North East
------------ -------- ----- -----
Champaign/ University of Illinois/Willard 16400 16465
Urbana Frasca Field 16448 16482
Chicago Midway 17156 16628
O'Hare 17244 16578
Danville Vermilion County 16471 16685
Moline Quad-City 17011 15736
Peoria Greater Peoria Regional 16670 16000
The reasons I chose to use default scenery as the basis for the Chicago file
instead of Scenery Disk 9 are as follows: 1) The default scenery provides
better detailing of the Chicago area than the subLOGIC scenery disk, 2) the
default dynamic scenery can only be used with the default static scenery, and
3) more instrument approaches are supported for O'Hare airport, which kept me
from having to enter all 12 of them on the scenery designer.
Although there is a lot of overlap between Scenery Disk 9 and the FS4
default scenery in the Illinois area, using the wrong scenery disk for flight
will cause some overlay problems with the scenery designer files, as the
default scenery and SD-9 scenery do not line up exactly.
-----Memory Requirements-----
You must allocate at least 11200 bytes for dynamic scenery and 10300 bytes
for static scenery in order to load the largest scenery files.
-----Instrument Approaches-----
The following instrument approaches are supported by my scenery files. If
you send in the $5 registration fee, I will send you (free of charge) copies of
official instrument approach plates, as published by the NOAA. These terminal
procedure charts will allow you to utilize the ILS approaches to their fullest
potentials; and if you plan to do any serious armchair piloting, I strongly
recommend them.

Notes: (1) Frequency changed to prevent frequency conflicts
(2) O'Hare approaches are part of the FS4 default scenery
ILS = Instrument Landing System
LOC = Localizer
LOC BC = Localizer Back Course
-----General Scenery Information-----
The visual approaches were a little difficult to create precisely, so there
may be some variances between the actual/published approaches and the object
and scenery placement on the scenery files. They are, however, accurate enough
for your flying purposes.
O'Hare and Midway are probably the most detailed airports in this
collection, particularly O'Hare with it's abundance of approach lighting (this
is a sight that is particularly attractive at night).
Enjoy!
