FSX Arlanda Airport Scenery

Scenery Arlanda Airport (ESSA), Stockhold, Sweden. Includes a version with the crosswind runway activated. Also adds assigned parking, support vehicles roads and other improvements to the default airport. By Ray Smith.

This airport was designed with the latest version of ADE (v1.47) and made only for the FSX default airport: one file with the Crosswind rwy 8/26 activated and in full operation, now activated by ADE where all 3 rwy's will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default rwy operation: assigned parking with extra parking, 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 3 BGL files: ESSA_ADE_RS.BGL, ESSA_ADE_CW_RS.BGL and a ESSA_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

The ESSA_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file is with the Xwind rwy activated and in full operation.
The ESSA_ADE_RS.BGL file is the same as the default rwy operation.
Assigned parking is the same in both......
The ESSA_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 ESSA_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 'ESSA.BGL' FILE in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other ESSA.bgl to avoid incorrect parking.

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the ESSA_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 ESSA_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 ESSA 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,

Ray
