FSX Honolulu International Airport Scenery

Honolulu International Airport (PHNL), Hawaii (HI). An update to the default airport with two versions, one with the crosswind runways operating and one without. Also includes assigned parking, new control tower, fuel tank farm, support vehicle roads and more. By Ray Smith.

These 2 BGL files were designed with the latest version of ADE (v1.37) and made only for the FSX default airport: one with the Crosswind rwy's operating, now activated by ADE where all rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default rwy operation: assigned parking with extra parking, new control tower, fuel tank farm, helipad, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other improvements, airport views are from the roof of the control tower (when in tower view) please view the readme before installation.

There are 2 BGL files: PHNL_ADE_RS.BGL and PHNL_ADE_CW_RS.BGL

The 'PHNL_ADE_CW_RS.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy activated and in operation, the other version PHNL_ADE_RS.BGLis without. Parking is the same in both......

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the PHNL_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 PHNL_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. there are jetway extensions, and to see these you need to add the textures for them, please follow these steps:

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 out of that folder and "PASTE" them into the Scenery\Global\Texture folder.

3. Start up the Flight sim and the changes will be present.

To Uninstall:

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

Jim Vile for his Technique that activates crosswind runways.

And my ever enduring wife to put up with the hours spent making these files.

TIP: when at PHNL 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.
