UK2000 VFR Airfields Volume 3

Northern England and Wales

Version 2
Add-On scenery For FSX and P3D

Introduction
UK2000 scenery brings you truly amazing UK Airport scenery that will make FSX/P3D come alive
with realistic airports, designed to match the real life layouts and buildings. Each one is modelled
to a high level and is supplemented with FSX/P3D objects and effects. In addition these airports
use the same aerial photographic ground bases supplied by Horizon Simulation, enhanced, and
brought up to date so it reflects the airport as it is now in 2010.

This is the last of the 3 Volumes released for FSX/P3D; each area will match the corresponding
Horizon Generation-X photographic scenery product. You can still use VFR Airfields without
photographic scenery, but for the ultimate experience it is higher recommended fs.

For any CD support issues, (ordering, delivery, please contact http://www.playhorizon.co.uk)

System requirements
This product needs Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Standard, Deluxe or 'Steam') Or Lockheed
Prepar3D, the scenery is no more demanding than most of the default Scenery, therefore there are
no increased PC specifications required to run this add-on.

If you use FSX Original (RTM) then you must install the SP1 or the SP2 update

Please see ‘Known FSX issues” for differences in display between these FSX versions

The operating system requirement is not applicable. Put simply, if FSX/P3D is working on your PC
and OS, then this add-on will work too.

Installation
Most readers may have already installed the product, as this PDF file is part of the installation, but
for those who have not, then simply execute the ‘install.exe’ file. For DVD/CD users this will auto
run on most PCs, for download users please ‘EXTRACT’ the setup.exe from the ZIP before running
it. Do not run from inside the ZIP file.

There may be additional download activation or CD/DVD security steps.

Notes and possible problems:

1)The installer will attempt to find your FSX/P3D folder. If however your FSX/P3D windows
registry is corrupted, it will prompt for the location. It will also search for the FSX/P3D
‘scenery.cfg’ file. For most this search is also successful, but for some multi OS installations
and some non-English language installations, it may not find it and you will have to provide the
location.

If for some reason you don’t see any scenery after installation, please add this scenery
manually via the FSX/P3D scenery Library.

To do this:
Start FSX/P3D
Click Settings
Click Scenery Library
Click Add Area
Browse to the installed location and select the scenery to add it.

Updates
Please check for possible updates on the UK2000 scenery website. As there are over 73 airfields in

2
this product, it is highly likely that some will be improved or changed. Also new airfields may be
added.

Uninstall
You should never remove the actual scenery manually without first removing it from the FS
database.
Start FSX/P3D - Click Settings - Click Scenery Library -Select the product - Click Remove Area
After you have done this, you can use the Windows Add/Remove option to remove the files

Options
The ‘Options’ program can also be used to set various options, these are:

1) UK2000 AI Airfield Traffic

2) Installation of Each Airfield

a) Install Static Aircraft
b) Install Animated Road Traffic
c) Install Base image

AI Airfield Traffic
This is a collection of AI flight plans that will generate FSX AI at each airfield. There will be 1-4 GA
aircraft at each, with a 50% chance of something moving.

You can also choose to install or NOT install each airfield. This is to allow compatibility with other
add-ons you may have and prefer. For each airfield you do install, you can choose sub-options.
The static aircraft file will create stationary aircraft (not AI).

Airfields installation
Unfortunately FSX/P3D has problems with airfield exclusion logic. In theory one airport should
remove the other, but there are bugs in this system (related to FSX/P3D Jet ways). So to help users
who may wish to use another airport and NOT use the particular airport in VFR Scenery you have
the option to install or not to install each one.

This is particularly true if you use UK2000 Scenery Xtreme range, you should NOT install the VFR
Airfields version of the Xtreme airport that you have to prevent possible conflicts.

Static aircraft models

As the name suggests, these are static models of the aircraft. They are placed in a way that will not
affect you or the FSX/P3D AI. However, some users just don’t like seeing any aircraft that are not
AI, and so this option to remove is here.

Animated road traffic

If selected this will add moving FSX/P3D traffic to the roads around the airfields. However this
traffic is designed to match up with Generation-X photo scenery, if you don’t have this scenery and
just use the default FSX/P3D base scenery, then the traffic may, in many places, drive over grass
areas. Therefore you have to decide to either turn off the traffic, or ignore these crazy drivers!

Base image
The base image option is there in case you have your own airport base made either by you
yourself, or from another add-on. Be aware that if you choose not to install the base image then the
aprons and taxiway may not line up.

Important FS settings

3
FSX/P3D when installed usually selects settings that do not show the scenery off very well.
Therefore, these settings should be set as a minimum to get the best from this add-on.

1)Set your Scenery complexity setting to at least Normal (to see all objects set ‘very dense’)
2)Mesh resolution to 5M or better. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT (1M is recommended)
3)Global texture resolution to HIGH (Very high for best results)
4)Texture Resolution 60CM or better.

There are many more FSX/P3D settings, but only these are important to get the best from this
product

Advanced FS settings

4
There are 2 other ‘tricks’ that can be used that can make a big impact on the visuals of this scenery.
These are NOT in the FSX/P3D Settings-Display menu and you have to manually edit the ‘FSX.cfg’
file. Some users may not want to touch these system files, but the result will be worth it if you do

The ‘FSX.CFG’ is stored in the users account folders. This location varies depending on your OS
and your user name. Here is an example using Windows XP and my user name.

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg

And in Windows Vista/windows 7

C:\users\Gary\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg

When you find this file, you can edit it with notepad. Right click on this file, select ‘open with’ and
choose notepad. Now find the section called [Display] Then add this line: MIPBIAS=6

The MIPBIAS will change the amount of ‘blurring’ in the distance, the higher the number the
sharper it is (1=blurry, 8=sharpest), the down side is that this can cause ‘twinkle’ so 6 is a
compromise. Most ‘FSX.CFG’ files will have TWO display sections. The other one will relate to
your card for example: [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT.0]

You need to add the same line to this section as well: MIPBIAS=6

Another improvement is to add this line

LOD_RADIUS to 6.000000
Add this to the 'Terrain' section

Note LOD radius is already in the cfg file under [Terrain]. Default setting is 3.000000

The Airfields

5
The area covered by Volume 3 contains many airfields. We don’t claim to cover all of them; after all
there are hundreds of glider, farm, microlight and helicopter airfields or just fields! Below is a list of
the airfields which ARE included, and then some basic info. More airfields may well be added as an
updates.

PLEASE NOTE!
All airfield heights and radio frequencies are from FSX/P3D default settings. Do not use for real
world use. In addition, information may be out of date.

ICAO codes:
Many airfields in this area DO NOT have an official ICAO code. However, FSX/P3D must have a 4-
digit code, so we have made up some codes. For example, 'ANDREAS' has been given the code
'EG31', this does NOT mean this code is used by any other organisation and it is purely used by us
for the simulator.

Runway markings, signs and holds:

We have tried to duplicate reality with these airports. This is different from what you would see
using default MSFS airports. Default scenery generally uses too many signs, runway markings and
lights, this is not realistic. We only added markings to runways if they are there in reality, and the
same applies to holding points etc.

Night airports:
These airports will have night time textures, indicating they operate when it's dark, all other
airfields will not have any night time textures.

Known FSX/P3D Issues/Bugs

This scenery uses the default FSX Air jetties. The default FSX jetty is not perfect, some aircraft
alignments are 5-25’ out when docked, but this is an internal FSX function and can’t be fixed. In
addition, if you use add-on aircraft with these Jetways, then the aircraft.cfg file must have the
correct exit data listed.

Other Issues found in FSX SP2

ACES have released the SP2 version of FSX; this version has a new engine and a few more
problems. Yes the frame rates have gone up using pure FSX coded objects, but as a designer it’s
even harder to get the look the way we want. Here are the problems found specific to FSX SP2

1)Shadows are not good in FSX SP2, just look at FSX default objects! In particular, the air jetty
model looks very bad with shadows on. It's up to you if want them on, but I choose to turn them
off. As a result of poor and erratic shadow performance, the models in this product do not
generate a shadow even when you have shadows on.

Compatibility
This product is made to fit with the Horizon Software Generation X Photo scenery for FSX/P3D and
also fits well with the default FSX/P3D scenery, and FTX World or FTX England.

AFD/AI Notes
Straight Through Parking

At some airfields the "plumbing system" has been used in the AFD files to provide either
turnaround or straight through parking. This gives a really true to life experience at these airfields.
There are one or two down points to take into account though. Firstly it is possible for aircraft to
ghost through each other (more so than with a standard AFD file) both whilst taxiing and on
takeoff. This usually only occurs during the first five or ten minutes after starting the sim. The
second is that we have to use military cargo ramps, otherwise FSX/P3D places push back tugs in
front of parked aircraft. However this latter point does not affect the sim and the parking spots
work exactly the same as normal gates. In a few cases you will notice that service trucks pass
though parked ai aircraft. However, we think that having the true parking system for the airport
outweighs these small inconveniences.
