FSX Fiumicino International Airport Scenery

Fiumicino International Airport Update (LIRF), Rome, Italy. Includes version with crosswind runways operating. Includes assigned parking, updated taxiways, extra fuel trucks, rebuilt support roads and more.

​I have given this airport a total makeover designed with the latest version of ADE(v1.37) and made only for the FSX default airport, my previous versions not required: one with the Crosswind rwy activated and in full operation, now activated by ADE where all rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default rwy operation: the hold short problem at rwy 34C is now fixed, assigned parking with extra parking, taxiways and taxi signs updated, extra fuel trucks, 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: LIRF_ADE_RS.BGL and LIRF_ADE_CW_RS.BGL

The 'LIRF_ADE_CW_RS.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy activated and in full operation, the other version LIRF_ADE_RS.BGL is without. Parking is the same in both.

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the LIRF_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 preferred use the version LIRF_ADE_RS.BGL

NOTE: For those that have Acceleration installed will see extra floodlighting in the Cargo area and many other areas.

To Install:

1. simply take the BGL file of your choice and place it into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder. If you have a previous version overwrite or remove/delete the old file.

2. there are jetway extensions at the Intl Satellite terminal, 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 then "PASTE" them into the Scenery\Global\Texture folder.

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

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

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 LIRF in tower view: go to your control settings and look for the "View track/pan Toggle" allocate a keyboard keystroke to it (I allocated a button on my controller) this will unlock the user aircraft, then you can use the hat switch to pan 360 degrees around the airport, hitting the keystroke again (in my case a button) will return you to the user aircraft position.

Enjoy and happy flying.
