-
- -----Introduction-----
-
- This file archive contains scenery files in Volume 2 of my East Central
- scenery collection. Located in this archive should be the following files:
-
- CINCINNA.DY1 CINCINNA.SC1 DAYTON.DY1 DAYTON.SC1
- EAGLECRE.MOD INDIANAP.DY1 INDIANAP.SC1 LAFAYETT.DY1
- LAFAYETT.SC1 PURDUEUN.MOD README.1ST README.2ND
-
- 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**.
-
- Scenery Area Airports North East
- ------------ -------- ----- -----
- Cincinnatti Covington/Greater
- Cincinnatti Intl 16008 17674
- Lunken Field 16034 17757
- Dayton James M. Cox/Dayton Intl 16378 17805
- Springfield/Beckley Muni 16364 17929
- Indianapolis Indianapolis Intl 16273 17126
- Eagle Creek Airpark
- Lafayette Purdue University
-
-
- -----Memory Requirements-----
-
- You must allocate at least 12400 bytes for dynamic scenery and 9400 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.

- -----General Scenery Information-----
-
- Two airports, Eagle Creek and Purdue University, were added from scratch
- in this collection, meaning that they are not a part of Scenery Disk 9. Eagle
- Creek is located just northwest of Indianapolis International, next to the
- Eagle Creek reservoir. Purdue University's airport is loacted in Lafayette,
- Indiana (the city is on SD-9, but the airport isn't).
- Indianapolis is the most detailed scenery file in this archive, and it
- is definitely worth flying around. Shortly after SD-9 was developed, the
- Indianapolis International Airport extended runway 5R/23L to 10,000 feet to
- accommodate the large airliners, so I changed (added) this runway in the
- Indianapolis file to reflect this.
- At Cincinnatti, one of the minor quirks in the A&SD program is evident. The
- mountain at Cincinnatti is part of SD-9, and you will notice that you can see
- the A&SD objects that I added in "front" of the mountain when they are actually
- "behind" it. I tried to draw a mountain on top of the existing one to
- eliminate this problem, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the peak
- locations and altitudes, and got nowhere...so I left it alone. It's slightly
- annoying, but you'll live (I have, anyway *grin*).
- At Greater Cincinnatti International, the scenery disk placement of the
- runways was a little off, and my placement of runway 18L/36R (not included in
- SD-9) was too far over, so the sizing of the ramp between the runways is also
- in error.
- You will notice that I drew some ramps and taxiways in black with blue lines
- outlining them. This is the only way I've found to make decent airport light-
- ing. You get nice, blue taxiway outlines at night at the expense of also
- having them present in the daytime. I think it's a good trade-off.
- Enjoy!
