Rev. No. 1
FLIGHT SIMULATOR 4 - SCENERY DESIGNER
ATLANTA, GA. AREA AIRPORTS
Scenery by Jack Yeazel (404) 255-5850 <Rev. 10-2-91>
Rev. No. 1 notes: Hidden runways have been added to prevent glide slope
'jump' during ILS approaches to airports with different altitudes. Placement
of Atlanta buildings is more authentic. 747 flight parameters are added.
1. Add these ZIP files to your Flight Simulator/Scenery Designer files.
2. Select the Scenery Designer Setup (1,J,0).
3. Request 25,000 for static memory and 55,000 for dynamic memory.
4. Select the START or DEMO mode, and make one of these the "STARTUP"
mode or the magnetic compass could be off up to 20 Deg.
5. Exit and re-enter the program to activate the extra memory.
GENERAL NOTES: All the buildings, runways, approach lights, and navigation
aids are taken from current NOAA Flight Information publications or actual
visits. (The fire stations are colored red and yellow.)
STARTING POINTS
<<START.MOD>> and <<DEMO.MOD>> (slew mode) - Cockpit view from a Learjet
parked on the east side of the international concourse of Hartsfield
International Airport (ATL) viewing the taxi area and loading docks.
Concourses A, B, C, and D are colored appropriately.
Dynamic-Scenery
Cessna Skylane (CESSNA-ATL-1): Departs runway 8-Right, flies to
Peachtree-Dekalb Airport (PDK) and returns via (CESSNA-ATL-2). [These files
eventually have two Cessnas flying north and south simultaneously!]
Learjet No. 1 (LJ-1): Departs runway 9-Left, makes a touch-and-go landing
at PDK runway 9, flies to the Gainsville Airport (GVL), makes an ILS approach
to runway 4, lands and parks. (See LJ-3 below)
Learjet No. 2 (LJ-2): Departs runway 8-Right, flies over the downtown
area, lands on runway 34 at PDK, taxies to runway 20-Right, flies back to
ATL, lands on runway 27-Right and parks at the starting point.
Boeing 767 (B-767): Makes an intersection departure on runway 9-Left,
flies a left-hand pattern, lands again on runway 9-Left, and taxies back to
the starting point.
Three F-14 fighters (F14-1, 2, 3): Depart the full length of runway 9-
Left, fly a loose formation in a left-hand pattern, land again on runway 9-
Left, and taxi back to the starting point.
<<GVL.MOD>> - Skylane is parked viewing the Blue Ridge Aviation flight office
and maintenance hangers at the Gainsville Airport.
Dynamic Scenery
Cessna Skylane (CESSNA-GVL): Departs runway 11, flies a left-hand
pattern, lands on runway 22 and returns to starting point.
Learjet No. 3 (LJ-3): Remains parked at the terminal until LJ-1 arrives
from ATL and PDK, and then merges with LJ-3. LJ-3 then departs on runway 22,
flies to PDK makes an ILS approach to runway 20-Left and parks in front of
Epps Air Service.
<<PDK.MOD>> - Learjet parked ready for takeoff on runway 16 at Peachtree-
Dekalb Airport (PDK). Aircraft from ATL and GVL arrive and take off from
time to time.
<<FTY.MOD>> - Takeoff at Fulton County Airport (FTY) runway 32 -careful,
that's a real hill there!
747 MODES
Modes of the form: <<ABC-DEF-747 R/W x>> are 747's configured with the
three navigation radios set to the correct frequencies to fly from "ABC" and
make an ILS approach to "DEF" on the designated R/W. (Push shift + spacebar
to see the ADF and VOR on the radio magnetic indicator and SPEED UP the
frame rate!) One of the most challenging and interesting parts of ASD is
flying and landing the 747.
In these modes, you should go through the TAKEOFF and LANDING check lists.
(This baby is not going to take off with the speedbrakes deployed!) It is
helpful to set the autopilot to WINGS LEVELER and 3000 feet of ALTITUDE LOCK.
Climb to about 3000 feet and engage the autopilot. (Z)
Follow the ADF to in a big loop to the outer marker while going through the
landing checklist to everything except 30 degrees of flaps. At the outer
marker, at 3000 feet and (hopefully) pointed toward the runway, you will be
almost on-glideslope. There, disengage the autopilot, set the flaps to 30
Deg, and follow the ILS indicator. The flight characteristics of the 747 are
so well designed, the whole flight, including gear and flap lowering, and
landing can be made at close to 50 percent throttle. The automatic braking
system and reverse thrust will stop the 747 on any of the programmed airports
with room to spare. (The big boys take it out of reverse thrust at 60 Kts.)
About 8 knots of wind are included with each approach, approximately doubling
the difficulty. Zero the wind if you are just starting.
OTHER NOTES
1. CESSNA-ATL-1 (and-2) would probably be the easiest airplane to fly
formation with. It was recorded with the autopilot in altitude-hold.
2. All TV towers reaching 2049' MSL are shown.

THRILLING EVENTS!
See a really BAD 767 landing.
See two F-14's nearly collide on final approach.
See a Skylane break every rule in the book.
See head-on collision on R/W 27R
There may be more!
