FS2004 AFCAD2 File For KBHM

KBHM, Birmingham International Airport, Alabama (AL). An extremely accurate rendition of the KBHM airport with appropriate gate, cargo and general aviation parking. By Jason Diaz.

An extremely accurate rendition of the KBHM airport with appropriate gate, cargo and general aviation parking. I've decided to make it a habit to do airports that one doesn't really see much on FS. Everyone does 300 AFCADs of KORD and there's nothing wrong with that it's a great airport but I figured I didn't need to add another KORD or KLAX to the pile unless I'd be providing something the others lack and I can't seem to find it. So, again, I'll be continuing to do AFCADs I feel are lacking or unavailable or not done well. The BHM airport is definitely not a bustling international port of call and it only receives mainline service from a few carriers but it has a decent amount of traffic and I thought it would be good to represent the airport. Thankfully this time MS did a reasonably good job with terminal space and I was able to include every gate in the two concourses. The great BHM website made my job a breeze by indicating which airlines park at which specific gate(s). Every airline is exactly where they should be as is cargo. A ramp for you VFR general aviation buffs is also available. The only time you might notice some craziness is if you start your flight super early in the morning and you have traffic at 95% +. It seems MS doesn't really "turn" planes in a realistic manner so you end up having more planes parked at the gate in the early morning hours then would be there in real life if they adhered to real world turn around times. Nothing I can do about that. Hope you enjoy your virtual trips in and out of the Birmingham International Airport.

Just copy/cut and paste the AF2_KBHM.bgl file into your addon scenery\scenery folder. You will know the file was "dropped" correctly if when you load FS a window pops up indicating that the program is building a new scenery file index.
