FSX Melbourne Int'l Airport Scenery

Scenery Melbourne Int'l Airport (YMML), Victoria, Australia. Includes two versions, one with the crosswind runway activated and one without. Also adds assigned parking, new control tower, PAPI on both runways, extra fuel trucks, rebuilt support roads and more. By Ray Smith.

This airport was designed with the latest version of ADE (v1.46) with two files made only for the FSX default airport: one file with the Crosswind rwy 9/27 operating now activated by ADE where both rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default rwy operation: assigned parking with extra parking, new control tower, PAPI now added to both rwy's, extra fuel trucks, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other improvements, airport views are from inside the control tower (when in tower view) please view the readme before installation.

There are 3 BGL files: YMML_ADE_RS.BGL, YMML_ADE_CW_RS.BGL and a YMML_ADE_OBJ.BGL file

The 'YMML_ADE_CW_RS.BGL' file is with the Xwind rwy activated and in full operation, The 'YMML_ADE_RS.BGL' file is the same as the default rwy operation.
Assigned parking is the same in both...... The 'YMML_ADE_OBJ.BGL' is the scenery objects file and should always be used with either RS.BGL file, Please make sure this goes into the correct folder.

To Install:

1. Take the RS_BGL file of your choice and place it into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder.

2. Take the YMML_ADE_OBJ.BGL file and place it into: Flight Simulator X/Scenery/Global/scenery folder.

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

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

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the YMML_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file you will hear the fake rwy's as well as the airport runways, this is the method used in activating non parallel runway's and should be ignored or if preferred use the version YMML_ADE_RS.BGL

To Uninstall:

1. Delete/remove the BGL files 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 YMML 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.
