This is my first attempt at scenery design. The Airports
include:
1. Lakewood airport 40/04N - 74/10/6W and my condo
2. Allair airport(Belmar) 40/11/2 N - 74/07/5W
3. Miller Air Park Toms River 39/55/6 N - 74/17/5W
4. Newark Airport 40/41/5N - 74/10/1W
5. Teterboro 40/51N - 74/03/6W
6. Wildwood (Cape May) 39/0/5N - 74/54/5W
7. The George Washington Bridge
8. All Major NJ NavAids.
Lakewood2.zip- airports added 11/4/90
9. Atlantic City Badger 39/21/6N - 74/27/4 W
10. Woodbine 39/13/1 N - 74/47/5
11. Ocean City Muni 39/15/8N -74/36/4
You will need CF19 and CG21 to locate beacons and airports.
They are both available at just about any bookstore that
carries aviation books. For those of you that don't want to
get the charts...you are not serious about flying-but...
here are a few tips...
1. Lakewood is 40 miles south of NYtour on course of 220.
You will hit Newark then Allair then Lakewood. Look for the
Condo and you will be Just N of the Lakewood Airport-a note
here... I took the liberty of adding a control tower, a no-
no that I only did here, since it is my home base, and I
liked the tower view. Lakewood is a NON-controlled
airport... the TPA is 850'.
These files will only work with Flight Simulator v4-4.b AND
the Microsoft Aircraft and Scenery Designer. The locations
were input from eyeballing (guessing where to put the George
Washington Bridge based on CF-19 NOAA Chart), the same but
with more accurate placement for about 10 vertical
obstructions also based on referencing the grids of the CF-
19 and CG-21 Aeronautical Charts so the position is not off
by more than seconds; and the Flight Guide-Airport and
Frequency Chart rev/3/90.
While I found more than several glitches in the AFS program,
such as lockup with mouse input, over all the tool is
wonderful, and finally gives us a powerful and broad means
of inputting our own scenery. In the scenes below be sure
to set the "memory configs" to 35 k or better I would
suggest 64 K to allow you to add more.
What do we need now???
1. Any good / great movie is that way by dint of a lot of
things, but ALWAYS A GREAT SOUND TRACK... TAKE A HINT FROM
MICROPROSE AND GIVE US SOME SOUND SUPPORT MICROSOFT-BRUCE-
ARTWICK ORGANIZATION.
2. WHEN YOU SLEW TO SEE YOUR DESIGN AND CHECK THE LAYOUT
ACCURACY, THE SLEW SHOWS POSITION IN FS N-E COORDS EVEN
THOUGH YOU HAVE N-W COORDS IN AFS.
2. When editing even though you turn off all other
appropriate editing areas (roads,navaids,buildings, etc)
when asking for the closest object you quite often jump to
some other object within the same category, and when you tab
to the next object, you are taken back to the beginning of
your object class-a bitch if you have a lot of objects.
--Nuff complaints, BAO and Microsoft Have a real winner
here!!!
Note: you may not have enough memory with the 64 config to
load the "glass cockpit"... you will have to experiment.

address or this board.
Enjoy,
