Brussels National Airport

Brussels National Airport (EBBR), Belgium. Includes two versions, one with the crosswind runway operating (all three runways used) and one without. Also updates terminal, parking, support vehicle roads and more. By Ray Smith.

My thanks for the Freeware ADE utility and Microsoft's SDK Compiler, these are the main tools used to help me make these bgl files: These 2 BGL files are only for the FSX default airport: one with the Xwind rwy operating where all three rwy's are used for takeoff/landing and one without: satellite teminal C now closed, assigned parking with extra parking, support vehicle roads rebuilt, helipad added to the GA apron, extra fuel trucks and several other improvements, airport views are from the roof of the control tower at the end of pier A (when in tower view) fully tested with Ultimate Traffic/WOAI but not required, please view the readme before installation.

There are 2 BGL files: FSX_ebbr.BGL and FSX_ebbr_cw.BGL. The 'FSX_ebbr_cw.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy activated, the other version FSX_ebbr.BGLis without parking is the same in both.

• NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE ONE BGL FILE AT A TIME. I.E. Make sure there is only ONE 'ebbr.BGL' FILE in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other ebbr.bgl.
• NOTE: When using ATIS with the FSX_ebbr_cw.BGL file you will hear the fake rwy's, this is the method used in activating Xwind rwy's created by Jim Vile and should be ignored or if preferred use the version FSX_ebbr.BGL.

To Install:

1. Simply take the BGL file of your choice and place it into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/Scenery Folder.
2. Start up the Flight sim and the changes will be present.

To Uninstall:

1. Delete the BGL file and the default will then be active.

TIP: When at EBBR in tower view: go to your control settings and look for the "View track/pan Toggle". Allocate a keyboard key stroke to it (i allocated a button on my X52 controller) this will unlock the user aircraft, then you can use the hat switch to pan 360 degrees around the airport, hitting the key stroke again (in my case a button) will return you to the user aircraft position.

Enjoy and happy flying.
