Australia's New South Wales Scenery Enhancement Files for MSFS2000

==================================================================



Description:

-----------



I have used mainly the Abacus "Airport and Scenery Designer" program

(using Manfred Moldenhaur's SCASM compiler). I have compiled more 

static scenery (aprons, taxiways, buildings, etc...). I have not 

included too much so as to keep the frame-rate reasonable. This 

is the first "edition" - more improvements are on their way soon. 

Keep an eye on the "last updated" field on my web page for the latest files.



I have not included some textures for static aircraft and other objects - 

the complete set are available as jets2.zip. You will also need the Airport 

& VOD textures which can now be obtained directly from my site on 

the Internet.(see my hotlinks in separate frame)



My files are freely distributable as long as they not modified in any 

way (including this text) and under no circumstances should anyone be 

charged for using them.



Thanks to  Kay & Stuart Reid for the Exclude file: YSBK_exc.bgl

Simply put this in the same directory as the other *.bgl files...

Installation of the files:

-------------------------



1.	The .bgl files have to be placed in the same sub-directory as the normal

scenery files called "Bankstown" - eg:



FS2000/

	Scenery/

	       Bankstown/

		    	    Scenery/(*.bgl)



2.	Any the texture files should be unzipped into:



Flight Simulator/

		Texture/(*.r8, *.bmp)



3.	Start your Flight Simulator program and go to the menu "World"

and select "Scenery Library". 



4.	Select OK and a dialogue box will pop up. Press the button marked "Add".



5.	In the dialogue box which comes up you will have to add the new path to the

 .bgl files. I found it helpful to look at how other scenery areas 

assigned their new files by first selecting "Edit"(*LOOK - BUT DON'T 

TOUCH ANY OF THESE SETTINGS!*) . Press cancel to go back to the 

previous  requester and select "Add" again. You will then have to give the scenery 

area a name. Press "OK" again and you will notice it has already made it scenery 

layer "0001". Click on the button to the right to make the scenery area active. 

Click OK again to save the changes and reload the scenery areas.



6.	When you are finally back at the main Flight Sim window, go to

the "World" menu again, but select "Go To Airport". Scroll down and 

under "FS 6.0 sceneries" you should find the new starting location to go to:



If you don't find the airports or have any troubles with displaying 

them try clicking on the "Enable" button again to disable various areas

or you could adjust your "Scenery Compexity" option in the "World" 

menu. Some of the objects have been designed to only display with 

"Very Complex" activated, so that those with faster computers can see it

all and those who don't can set their complexity to give them a better 

frame-rate.



**NOTE: Don't forget - if you like and use the Ozpack scenery, please contribute 

to the Flying Doctors at the Ozpack web site: "http://www.ozpack.pcsa.net.au/"





Please send me any comments or suggestions you may have, but above all - 

Have Fun!                                            (pun intended!)^
