A. STARTUP
^^^^^^^
In order to run this scenery, copy the file AUS_WA4.BGL to your
\(FS5)\SCENERY directory, then start FS5a and call the World/Airports
MENU. Select "AUSTRALIA - W.A." and then select an airport.
Airports named in full capital letters have ATIS, approach, tower and,
at some, ground COMs.
B. GENERAL SCENERY INFORMATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This scenery covers all airports in the State of Western Australia
for which instrument "Departure and Approach Procedures" (DAPS) are
published, and all airports listed in "Enroute Supplement Australia" (ERSA).
The scenery also contains all navaids which FS5 is capable of using,
including ATIS, tower and FIS COMs.
In this version, all airports are at zero elevation. The coast
of Australia is very poorly rendered and inaccurate in Flight Sim 5.
Many coastal towns are under water, with the coast line many miles away.
So don't be surprised to find several airports floating on water.
There is no visual scenery other than all runways at each airport.
The above deficiencies will be overcome in later versions.
There is a little known bug in FS5 and FS5a ILS glideslope. This bug
is found only in southern hemisphere ILSs. The bug gets worse as the
ILS course moves from a general N/S to E/W direction. Therefore, at
any aerodrome where an ILS is installed, the Glideslope indication is
likely to be innaccurate. As a general rule, when on an approach to an
aerodrome, divide the distance by 3 to obtain your height.
Eg: Approaching Perth, you see that you are 15 miles out on the DME.
15 x 3 = 45 means that you should be approx 4500ft. At 5 miles out you
should be at 1500ft. You'll find this to be a fairly accurate guide
until something is done about the Glideslope bug.
At least the ILS localizers seem to work correctly!
This scenery has been designed to mesh well with my Victoria-Tasmanian
scenery, my South Australia-Northern Territory scenery, as well as the
New South Wales scenery designed by Tom Monnone, and the Queensland
Scenery designed by Ron McKeirnan. There are no duplications along
state borders to "gum up" the works.
Please use the WA-NAV.DOC file and an atlas or state map to find
your way around.
Most of Central and Western Australia is desert, and many bush landing
strips are simply stretches of gravel or dirt, with no markings of any kind.
Distances between towns and settlements are vast, and most of the area
is designated as a Remote Area, meaning certain restrictions apply to
aviation.
