Ninoy Aquino International

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL), Manila, Philippines. Features two versions, one with the crosswind runway active and one without. Also includes assigned parking, support vehicle roads, extra fuel truck, a helipad and other improvements. By Ray Smith.

ADE Home Edition (Freeware) was used to design these BGL files: these 2 files are only for the FSX default airport: one with the Xwind rwy 13/31 activated where Both rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one as default: assigned parking with extra parking, although controversy still surrounds the new terminal 3 it is hoped to be open in 2008 and is used here for overflow purposes only, support vehicle roads rebuilt, extra fuel trucks a helipad and several other improvements, airport views are from the roof of the control tower (when in tower view) fully tested with Ultimate Traffic/WOAI but not required, please view the readme before installation.

There are 2 BGL files: RPLL_ADE_RS.BGL and RPLL_ADE_CW_RS.BGL. The 'RPLL_ADE_CW_RS.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy activated, the other version RPLL_ADE_RS.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 'RPLL.BGL' FILE in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other RPLL.bgl.
• NOTE: when using ATIS with the RPLL_ADE_CW_RS.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 RPLL_ADE_RS.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 RPLL 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.
