AFCAD File For LPPT

Lisbon International Airport, Portugal. This airport was designed with the latest version of ADE (Airport Design editor) and made only for the FSX default airport. One file with the crosswind runway operating where both runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one file as the default runway operation. Assigned parking with extra parking, extra fuel trucks, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other improvements. Airport views are from inside the control tower (when in tower view). By Ray Smith.

There are 3 BGL files: LPPT_ADE_RS.BGL, LPPT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL and a LPPT_ADE_OBJ.BGL file.

Runway Operation Files:

• The LPPT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file is with the Xwind runway activated where both runways will be used simultaneously.
• The LPPT_ADE_RS.BGL file is the same as the default runway operation.

Assigned parking is the same in both files.

To Install:

1. Take the LPPT_RS.BGL runway file of your choice (only one) and place this file into: Flight Simulator X/Addon Scenery/scenery folder.
2. Take the LPPT_ADE_OBJ.BGL file and place this file into: Flight Simulator X/Scenery/Global/scenery folder.
3. Start up the Flight Sim and the changes will be present.

• NOTE: PLEASE ONLY USE ONE RUNWAY LPPT_RS.BGL FILE AT A TIME. I.E. Make sure there is only ONE of the LPPT_RS.BGL FILES in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder at any time, remove/delete any other LPPT.bgl to avoid incorrect parking and other airport conflicts.
• If you have any AI Traffic Addons please make sure they have "NOT" installed another Afcad for this airport as this will also cause a conflict.
• NOTE: when using ATIS with the LPPT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL file you will hear the fake runways as well as the airport runways, this is the method used in activating non parallel runways and should be ignored or if preferred use the version LPPT_ADE_RS.BGL.

To Uninstall:

1. Delete/remove the BGL files and the default airport will then be active.

TIP: When in tower view at LPPT, 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.
