San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), California (CA), v2. Updates the default scenery so that crosswind runways are activated, adds assigned parking, support vehicle roads, extra fuel trucks and other improvements. By Ray Smith.

This is an update of my previous version, made with ADE Home Edition: my previous version not required: these 2 files are only for the FSX default airport: one with the Crosswind rwy's activated where all 4 rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one as default: assigned parking bought up to date as per their website with extra parking, terminal 2 closed for renovation, support vehicle roads rebuilt around the entire airport, extra fuel trucks and several other improvements and a general tidy up, airport views are from inside 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: KSFO_ADE_RS.BGL and KSFO_ADE_CW_RS.BGL.

The 'KSFO_ADE_CW_RS.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy's activated, the other version KSFO_ADE_RS.BGLis without parking is the same in both......

NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE ONE BGL FILE AT A TIME:
ie: make sure there is only ONE 'KSFO.BGL' FILE in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other KSFO.bgl

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the KSFO_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 prefered use the version KSFO_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 KSFO 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.
