AFCAD File For YPAD RS

Adelaide International Airport, South Australia. This airport was designed with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design Editor) and made only for the FSX default airport: one file with the crosswind runway activated where both runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default runway operation: Domestic terminal demolished, assigned parking with extra parking including a gate for the A380, helipad west added, taxiways and taxi signs updated, extra fuel trucks, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other improvements, airport views are from the roof of the control tower (when in tower view). By Ray Smith.

There are 3 BGL files: YPAD_ADE_RS.BGL, YPAD_ADE_CW_RS.BGL and a YPAD_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

The YPAD_ADE_RS.BGL file is the same as the default runway operation.
The YPAD_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file is with the Crosswind runway activated and in full operation.
Assigned parking is the same in both files.

To Install:

If you are using my earlier version please remove/delete these files first or overwrite them, if you would rather keep them remove them to another folder not associated with FSX.

1. Take the YPAD_RS.BGL runway file of your choice (only one) and place this file into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder.
2. Take the YPAD_ADE_OBJ.BGL file and place this file into: Flight Simulator X/Scenery/Global/scenery folder.
3. Start up the Flight Sim and the changes will be present.

• NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE ONE YPAD_RS.BGL FILE AT A TIME. I.E. Make sure there is only ONE of the YPAD_RS.BGL files in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other YPAD.bgl to avoid incorrect parking and other airport conflicts.
• If you have any AI Traffic Addons please make sure they have "NOT" installed another Afcad for this airport as this will also cause a conflict.
• NOTE: when using ATIS with the YPAD_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file you will hear the fake runways as well as the airport runways, this is the method used in activating non parallel runways and should be ignored or if preferred use the version YPAD_ADE_RS.BGL.

To Uninstall:

1. Delete/remove the BGL files and the default airport will then be active.

TIP: When in tower view at YPAD, 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 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.

Ray.
