FSX Part 1 Papua New Guinea Airports Scenery

FSX Scenery--Papua New Guinea Airports Part 1. PNG has more airfields and heliports than the 71 or so depicted in FSX, many of these do not have runway links making AI flying useless; hence a fervent desire to make the AI and the airfields come alive. The 22 airfield enhancements in part 1 include airport layout re-designs, parking additions, new apron inclusions and/or updates, and enhancement of airport objects such as terminal buildings, airport vehicles (static and moving fuel trucks, etc.), cargo/luggage, cars/pickup trucks, firehouse, fence at small fields where known, etc. The biggest improvement is inserting runway links to all airfields that Microsoft left out. By Graham Michael.

Thanks for downloading Part 1 of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) airport enhancement series for FSX. Airfields in this series were recaptured from memory (visited), recalled from diagrams, pictures and/or developed with the assistance from Google earth, etc.

BACKGROUND:

PNG is located due north of Australia and neighbors Indonesia to the west with Solomon Islands to the east. It is very rugged and mountainous in real life. It has over 600 beautiful islands and coastlines as well. The country invokes a myriad of unaccustomed flying conditions known to those who have and still fly there... notwithstanding unpredictable weather.

To simulate these surroundings I recommend Andy Weirs PNG/Australia terrain mesh (4 files) for FSX. While the Weir mesh is enjoyable elsewhere, I encountered landclass problems - river/lakes atop "mountains/hills" at Kawito (AYKW) and 2 miles west just off of rwy 14L and 14R at Port Moresby (AYPY).
I would appreciate someone with landclass know-how fix these.

AIRLINES AND AIRCRAFT:

To have these airfields come alive, you would of course need the following PNG AI airlines and aircrafts:

1. Air Niugini (ANG)
- AARDVARK 757-200 (RR)
- AARDVARK B7673GE Air Niugini
- Fokker F28 100, 70, and F28
- Dash8

2. Airlines PNG (TOK) - formerly Milne Bay Air
- Dash8
- Beech C99
- Twin Otter DHC6
- CDAI B1900 Airlines of PNG

3. Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF)
- Twin Otter DHC6
- Beech C99

4. Airlink PNG
- Britten-Norman BN-2A/B Islander
- Embraer 110

5. Regional Air [Papua New Guinea] (QT)
Don't have any yet.

6. Islands Nationair (CN)
Don't have any yet.

INSTALLATION:

Unzip the "PNG Airports Part 1" to temporary folder, then place all 22 airport BGL files in the following directory of your FSX; ...\Addon Scenery\Scenery.
***Note that if you have my previous Port Moresby (AYPY) airport installed, go ahead and overwrite it with the latest updated version included here.

***For Flight plans and activating AI see "Airlines Flight Plan" and Flight Plan Instructions" attached.**

That's all. If you do not like any or all of them just delete.
