FSX Lihue Airport (PHLI) Scenery

Lihue Airport (PHLI), Hawaii (HI). This airport was designed with the latest version of ADE v1.47 with two files made only for the FSX default airport: one file with the crosswind runway activated and in full operation, now activated by ADE where both runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default rwy operation: assigned parking with extra parking, taxiways and taxi signs updated to the latest charts, extra fuel trucks, 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. By Ray Smith.

There are 3 BGL files: PHLI_ADE_RS.BGL, PHLI_ADE_CW_RS.BGL and a PHLI_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

The PHLI_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file is with the Xwind runway activated and in full operation.
The PHLI_ADE_RS.BGL file is the same as the default runway operation.
Assigned parking is the same in both.
The PHLI_ADE_OBJ.BGL file is the scenery objects file and should always be used.
Please make sure this file goes into the correct folder.

To Install:

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

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

PLEASE NOTE: when using ATIS with the PHLI_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 PHLI_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 PHLI 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.
