FSX Logan International Airport Scenery

Logan International Airport (KBOS), Boston, Massachusetts (MA). A total makeover of the default scenery. Includes a version where all five runways aer activated. Also includes assigned parking, extra fuel trucks, new taxiway, rebuilt roads and more. By Ray Smith.

I have given this airport a total makeover designed with the latest version of ADE(v1.37) these 2 files made only for the FSX default airport: one with the Crosswind rwy's activated and in full operation, now activated by ADE where all 5 rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default rwy operation: assigned parking with extra parking, taxiways and taxisigns updated including the new taxiway between rwy's 4R-22L and 4L-22R and the taxisigns for it, extra fuel trucks, lighted 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: KBOS_ADE_RS.BGL and KBOS_ADE_CW_RS.BGL

The 'KBOS_ADE_CW_RS.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy's activated and in full operation, the other version KBOS_ADE_RS.BGLis without. Parking is the same in both.

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the KBOS_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 KBOS_ADE_RS.BGL

NOTE: For those that have Acceleration installed will see extra flood lighting in the Cargo areas and some other areas.

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.

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

To Uninstall:

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

NOTE: I have not added the new rwy 14/32 as it meant deleting the whole of the Fedex cargo buildings as well as the buildings that were demolished to build the new rwy, as both parts are Autogenerated/Geolocked together in FSX.

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 KBOS 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 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.
