Venice Tessera Intl. Airport "Marco Polo" (LIPZ) - AFCAD For FSX Default Scenery

AFCAD file of LIPZ (Venice Tessera "Marco Polo") airport for FSX default scenery. In order to make the scenery as close as possible to the real airport the layout is based on the newest Jeppesen parking chart of LIPZ, on the Aeronautical Information Publication Italy and on photos of the real airport.
Main things that have been changed:

• RWY 4L/22R has been converted into main taxiway (as it is in the real LIPZ);
• runway strips and stopways have been added;
• Precision Approach Path Indicators with 3° slope have been added on both sides of RWY 4R/22L;
• according to ICAO documents, since RWY 4R/22L is a precision runway of the 3rd category the holding positions have been moved at 90 m and taxiways and apron links have been reduced to 23, 18 and 15 m;
• the approach lighting system has been modified to look as close as possible like the real one;
• parking codes have been added to match the latest airport timetable.

Note: In real life nearly 100% of the departures from RWY 4R (which is the runway in use during day almost all days of the year - RWY 22L is in use during night when the wind's direction changes) use SIDs based on the CHI VOR which means that even the airlines which fly to north once airborn won't turn left but right and make half circle in order to head north. I tried to make the aircraft fly like the real ones assigning right hand pattern to RWY 4R but seems that it doesn't work - aircraft that fly to north, after takeoff will turn left instead of turning right and making half circle.
