FSX Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT) Scenery

Pittsburgh International Airport (KPIT), Pennsylvania (PA). An update of the default airport including one version with crosswind runways active and one without. Also includes assigned parking, updated taxiways, rebuilt support roads and much more. 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 runway's activated and in full operation where all 4 runway's will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default runway operation: assigned parking with extra parking, Taxiways and Taxi signs updated/corrected, 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 4 BGL files: KPIT_ADE_RS.BGL, KPIT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL, KPIT_ADE_CVX.bgl and a KPIT_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

The KPIT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file is with the Xwind runway's activated and in full operation.
The KPIT_ADE_RS.BGL file is the same as the default runway operation.
Assigned parking is the same in both.
The KPIT_ADE_CVX.bgl file removes the Autogen around the cargo area and should always be used.
The KPIT_ADE_OBJ.BGL file is the scenery objects file and should also always be used.
Please make sure this file goes into the correct folder.

To Install:

1. Take the KPIT_RS_BGL file of your choice and the KPIT_ADE_CVX.bgl file and place them into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder.

2. Take the KPIT_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 KPIT_RS.BGL FILE AT A TIME:
i.e: make sure there is only ONE KPIT_RS.BGL FILE and the KPIT_CVX.bgl file in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other KPIT.bgl to avoid incorrect parking and other airport conflicts.

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the KPIT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file you will hear the fake runway'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 KPIT_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 KPIT 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.
