FSX Crosswind Runways For CCC Scenery

Crosswind Runways For CCC Scenery. This scenery contains several revised files for California Central Coast sceneries CCFSXMSG.ZIP and CCFSXMS.ZIP. These are the versions of the CCC scenery for FSX with MegaScenery Earth. Included here are revised AFCAD files for the major airports in those sceneries which will add crosswind capability to C80, PRB, SBP, SMX and SBA airports. Revised AFCAD and associated files for IZA, LPC, L52 and VBG are also included. In some cases ground traffic has been added, a few glitches repaired and minor improvements effected. The crosswind AFCAD's for the five airports with tangential or crossing runways were revised using the technique developed by Jim Vile and executed by Airport Design Editor (ADEX). This procedure will unavoidably bolix up the ATIS runway advisories at the three tower controlled airports with ATIS (SBA, SBP and SMX) but will make all of the runways useable for AI traffic depending on wind conditions. This is not a problem at C80 and PRB since they are not tower controlled fields. Therefore, revised AFCADs are included for SBA, SBP and SMX that do not have crosswind provisions that can be substituted if desired. By Al Wheeler.

This scenery contains several revised files for my previously uploaded California Central Coast sceneries CCFSXMSG.ZIP and CCFSXMS.ZIP. These are the versions of my CCC scenery for FSX with MegaScenery Earth. The "G" version also requires Genesis Terrain Mesh but is the most complete version. Included here are revised AFCAD files for the major airports in those sceneries which will add interesting crosswind capability to C80, PRB, SBP, SMX and SBA airports. Additionaly, revised AFCAD and associated files for IZA, LPC, L52 and VBG are included. In some cases ground traffic has been added, a few glitches repaired and minor improvements effected.

The crosswind AFCAD's for the 5 airports with tangential or crossing runways were revised using the technique developed by Jim Vile and executed by Airport Design Editor (ADEX). This procedure will unavoidably bolix up the ATIS runway advisories at the 3 tower controlled airports with ATIS (SBA, SBP and SMX) but will make all of the runways useable for AI traffic depending on wind conditions. This is not a problem at C80 and PRB since they are uncontrolled fields and have no ATIS available. Therefore, I've included revised AFCADs for SBA, SBP and SMX that do not have crosswind provisions that can be substituted if desired.

NOTE:

IF YOU DECIDE YOU DON'T WANT CROSSWIND AT THE THREE TOWER CONTROLLED AIRPORTS THAT HAVE ATIS:
(This applies at either CCFSXMSG or CCFSXMS sceneries once the above installation has been performed)
REPLACE KSBA_ADEX_AWX.BGL WITH KSBA_ADEX_AW.BGL from the NORMALAFCADS directory
REPLACE KSBP_ADEX_AWX.BGL WITH KSBP_ADEX_AW.BGL from the NORMALAFCADS directory
REPLACE KSMX_ADEX_AWX.BGL WITH KSMX_ADEX_AW.BGL from the NORMALAFCADS directory
