There are 3 BGL files: OMDB_ADE_RS.BGL, OMDB_ADE_CVX.bgl and a OMDB_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

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.

Take the OMDB_RS.BGL and the OMDB_ADE_CVX.bgl files and place both of these files into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder.
Take the OMDB_ADE_OBJ.BGL file and place this file into: Flight Simulator X/Scenery/Global/scenery folder.
There are jetway extensions, and to see these you need to add the textures for them, please follow these steps:

NOTE: If you have already done this with any of my other airports then this step is not necessary.

Browse to the FSX\Scenery\NAME\Texture folder. Go down the list until you see jfk_jetway.dds (day texture) and jfk_jetway_LM.dds (night texture).
"COPY" them from that folder and "PASTE" them into the Scenery\Global\Texture folder.
Start up the Flight Sim and the changes will be present.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE THESE OMDB.BGL FILES AT ANY TIME. Make sure there is only my OMDB_RS.BGL file and the OMDB_CVX.BGL file in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other OMDB.bgl to avoid incorrect aircraft 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.

To Uninstall:

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

Enjoy and happy flying.
