FSX Schwechat Airport Scenery

Scenery Schwechat Airport (LOWW), Vienna, Austria. These are the original bgl files created by Ray Smith but with the updated ILS frequency for runway 29 (109.55 instead of 109.70). By Rolf Fritze.

My thanks for the Freeware ADE utility and Microsoft's SDK Compiler, these are the main tools used to help me make these bgl files: These 2 BGL files are only for the FSX default airport: one with the Xwind rwy operating and one without: animated jetbridges added to terminals A and C, assigned parking with extra parking, support vehicle roads rebuilt, extra fuel trucks, a helipad and several other improvements, airport views are from the roof of the control tower (when in tower view) fully tested with Ultimate Traffic/WOAI but not required, please view the readme before installation.

There are 2 BGL files: FSX_loww.BGL and FSX_loww_cw.BGL

The 'FSX_loww_cw.BGL' version is with the Xwind rwy activated, the other version FSX_loww.BGLis without parking is the same in both......

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

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the FSX_loww_cw.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 FSX_loww.BGL

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.

To Uninstall:

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

TIP: when at LOWW 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,

Ray :-)
