I accept no responsibility for any damage or loss of data incurred due to the installation of this scenery. The scenery has been thoroughly tested by experienced Flight Simulator users and shouldn’t cause any issues, but in today’s legal climate I have to state this for my own sake.

This update fixes an issue with the DME locations for both ILS's being incorrectly positioned. The DME's should both now read zero when over the threshold of their corresponding runway ends. Also added are TDZ lighting.

Installation: You should already have installed version 1.0 and version 1.1 update of my EGBB scenery for FSX. Make sure Flight Simulator is not running, then copy the included bgl file into the Scenery folder where you have installed my EGBB scenery, overwriting the existing file if prompted.

Credits: With thanks to Fernand Verbraecken for spotting the DME bug and Gerry Winskill, Tom Smith, Denis Ripley, Mike Brook and Frank Fisher for testing.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
